I must apologize for holding Spot for 4 months. We had picked up a number of TBs during a long caching weekend and an injury right after kept us from additional caching. We have been trying to drop them all off now that we can get back out - but Spot didn't make it to a new cache until today.
I brought him to Palm Springs thinking I would get some miles under his belt - not realizing he was from California and his goal is to make it to Missouri (and Indiana - but that cache was archived) before returning to California.
I also now see that he was on the other side of the Coachella Valley at one point in his travels. At any rate, he might make it home for Christmas - just 4 years later than probably originally anticipated.
