About This Item

Joseph the micro TB ----

My Grandfather and his older brother came to the United States from a tiny village in France in the early 1900's. They arrived in San Francisco and tried to start a new life. My Grandfather met my Grandmother, started a family and they lived very happy lives. At the start of WW I, my great uncle, left San Francisco and returned to France to fight in the war effort. He lost his life on July 8th, 1915. He died without ever having married, or seeing much of the Country he and his brother had come to live in.

This TB is named Joseph, after my Great Uncle. It’s sole purpose is to travel around the United States and cover as much ground as possible. In short, to see all of the sights the U.S. has to offer, that my great uncle was unable to see. To help him out, I’ve made this TB micro sized. It will fit into most (obviously not all) micro caches, including the ever popular empty film cannister.

So, please move him along. If you have a favorite spot, that would be great, if you have a scenic spot, even better. Please try to keep him away from isolated caches where he might sit for months. Although I personally like those, I don’t think they would be appropriate for this TB. An occasional photo would be appreciated also.

Finally have time to discover your precious trackable which we came across sometime over the last 3000 geocache finds, which occurred from Easter Break on and included two mega events and numerous smaller events. Thanks so much for sharing!

Retrieve It from a Cache 6/13/2006 Blue iis retrieved it from Rotterdam Airport Zestienhoven Netherlands   Visit Log

It's been well over a year since I've seen this TB and he has undergone a few changes. He basically is the same, but he now shows a little wear and tear.

A kindly cacher sent him back to me from the Rotterdam Airport as he was never supposed to leave the U.S. I'll be placing him back out into another cache soon.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 5/22/2006 De dwalers grabbed it   Visit Log

We found this one in The Coincache, second edition in the Netherlands. It has not yet been logged, so we 'grabbed' it. Its not the USA, but Joseph seems to like it here too!

We found this fella in Gilligan au Roma on March 26th. It was in a little bag which noted it destination being Israel. We figured, since Dutch people often seem to go to Israel, we'd take it and put it in a Dutch coin cache, which seemed appropriate. And so we did... Not logging it yet, so not noticing that it shouldn't have left the US! Sorry!! Glad it's back in it's own continent again now! Erbie (05 July 2006)

Unfortunately, I did not know about the real goal of this TB. In addition, it was in a ziploc bag label with "GOAL: ISRAEL". As I had no idea how to help with that goal, I just placed it quickly into another cache in Rome.
