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.

I grabbed this bug today since the previous owner stated that he needed maintenance. The clear resin/epoxy used to glue this one together has shattered and needs to be redone. I'll take care of this and then move him on.
