Current Goal

Don is one of four mastodons who are in a race to see who can travel to 40 different states and get back to the IPFW Travel Bug University (The Old Stomping Grounds, GCKTF6) in Fort Wayne, IN first!

About This Item

In conjunction with a multicache we set up for the university’s 40th anniversary, we have started 4 travel bugs out in the university as its first alumni.

In honor of the anniversary, these bugs have the goal of racing each other to see who can visit 40 different states and return to the university in time for Homecoming! (None of the TBs completed a foreign language component while at the university, so they’d prefer to stay in the United States!)

We’ll post any photos we receive of the bugs at any other schools or universities (e-mail to weissnea@ipfw.edu)!

Don would especially like to visit Team Jammer’s Travel Bug University in MI (GCH6DM). He’d also like to visit Texas Gal’s Travel Bug University (GCH6DM if it becomes active again) and any other Travel Bug Universities.


Don has currently visited the following states:
Florida
Indiana
Ohio
Oregon
Utah
Washington
and the special state of Confusion! :-)

He needs to visit 34 of the following states to beat his fellow mastodons in the race!

Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Georgia
