Current Goal

My mission... To hideout from the authorities of course.  I need to get into the wild places of the world, to places with few onlookers and prying eyes.  Someplace where the law is not looking, if you know what I mean.  Help guide me through some of these places and maybe there will be a little somethin' in'it for you, too.

About This Item

A little gold bar replica that I would like to have taken to National Parks, Monuments, Historic Sites, etc, etc.  It has always been a goal of mine to visit every park in the National Park Service that I could, especially the National Parks (kind of a bucket list thing).  So, if you could take this token to any of the NPS parks and take a picture of it at the entry signs and post them, then log it into an Earthcache or Virtual Cache as having visited within the park that would be great.  State Parks would be good, too, then you could also leave me in a cache within the park. And please leave a message with your log about what you thought of the park.  Your favorite trail and/or site that you saw.  I think it would be a great way to learn more about all the parks I would love to go see myself.

    Exploring the hoodoos is a lot of fun. They look as if they glow with their own light when the sun shines on them.
