Current Goal

The goal of this bug is to go eastward around the world as many times as possible. Hopefully at some point it will return back to me. But if not, it should see plenty of the globe in the process. This travelbug is to always be placed in a cache that is EAST of the cache it was picked up in. Keep it moving east!

About This Item

In 2001, NomadVW and his clan - TeamVW, moved westward to the land of surfing. It was quickly realized that TeamVW belonged on the East Coast. Alas, in NomadVW's quest to get them east, an error in judgement was made and they find themselves moving to East Asia in January of 2005. "Go East Young Man" has been activated to always remind TeamVW of their eastward yearnings in hopes that they, and the travelbug, will someday end up on the Eastern Shores of the United States. Until that time, "Go East Young Man" wishes to continue moving eastward - even if it means moving past the East Coast of the US to make the trip all the way around again.

This one needs a lift across the pond. Unfortunately, my upcoming vacation is taking me west. I will move this to a new cache soon.

Loved this little bus. I will get is as far east as I can.
The rear tires are missing some rubber. Must be all the miles are taking a toll. Not sure I can repair them but I will try.

We love this travel bug! We're going to Germany in December and would love to take this Volkswagen to Germany to visit it's heritage, but 4 months is too long to hold on to a TB, so we'll release it soon here in the states.
