Geocache Description:


WWW is a unique individual.  He probably would be considered “free spirited” by some.  Others would just call him odd.  But he also is very, very, very lucky.  After he won his third big lottery in three years, a local newspaper reporter used just three words to describe him … Lucky, Lucky, Lucky!!

So what did WWW do with all of that money??  He traveled.  But WWW did not travel like other people.  He didn’t go to a new place and travel around the country.  Noooooo!!!! WWW is the opposite of most organized travelers.  He would get up in the morning and head out to a new place.  Tomorrow he might reverse course and go back to where he started.  When everyone else was heading north, he did just the opposite and headed south.   WWW could get on an airplane heading west and by the end of the day he would be landing some place east of where he started.  Because of his constant changing of plans from left to right, from up to down, from north to south, etc., his family and friends had NO idea where to find him.  Finally one of his nephews decided to just plot everything on a map.  The number of changes and reversals and moves in the opposite direction were astonishing … BUT … WWW saw the world!!  He saw new places!!  He met new people!!    He ENJOYED his travels!!

WWW took 3 separate vacations … One each spring after he won the lottery.   Here are coordinates for the countries and one special city (***) that he visited.
