Current Goal

The original Travel Bug went missing. So, now it is a fine Painted Wood Disk Travel Bug. Do not keep it. Keep it moving down to the Gulf of Mexico.

TB Restart Date: 2/26/2021

This guy will kill everything he comes into contact with when he is in the water!

What is a ghost net???

They are fishing nets that have been lost accidentally, deliberately discarded, or simply abandoned at sea. They travel the oceans of the world with the currents and tides continually fishing as they progress through the waters. As they are unattended and roaming, they fish indiscriminately, not only catching threatened species but undersized and protected fish as well. It is a real problem. In the old days the nets were made of twine and ropes. They would decompose after awhile. Now they are made of nylon which just goes on and on to fish for years and years. Do a web search for more information. About this item: GHOST NET! When fish get stuck in the Ghost Net they attract other fish that get caught and attract more fish. It is a very bad cycle of death.

After over 8,450 miles traveled through 4 States, and 202 caches visited since we retrieved Ghost Net on September 15, 2021, near Durant, Iowa, it is time for a hand-off to someone else to add more miles to Ghost Net's journey and to get to the Gulf of Mexico!! Goodbye Ghost Net!! We had a great ride, and I'm glad we were able to take you to places you had never been, but sorry that we couldn't get you South of the Border!! Attached is a picture of Ghost Net from the back roof deck of our house in Scottsdale, Arizona, looking across the Salt River-Pima Indian Reservation, with Camelback Mountain in the distance. Enjoy!! Safe travels!!
