With permission from his owner, the Denvet Bronco TB and I have been traveling the airways together for about a year and a half. We've logged a lot of miles and quite a few caches. Together we've visited 25 NFL stadiums, including an unforgettable trip to the holy land, Mile High Stadium in Denver, as well as the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton OH. The DBTB even made a new best friend along the way named Safari Sam.
At this point, the DBTB only needs to see Minneapolis, Houston, and New Orleans to finish his life's ambition of visiting all the NFL stadiums. I'd been trying to coordinate personal trips to these cities because unfortunately I don't have business in any of them. Alas, I finally had to make the tough decision to send him on his way to brave the trip alone.
When I told him of my decision, the DBTB burst into tears and begged me to reconsider. He suggested that perhaps if we waited another season or two those franchises would dissolve or be sold anyway and it wouldn't be necessary. "After all", he exclaimed, "that amateurish Vikings team is basically defunct now and soon to be dismantled and shipped to the CFL." (Take that, MVTB!)
But, no, in the interest of geocachers around the world, I can't be selfish and must give of myself for the greater good. So, with a heavy heart and tears streaming down my cheeks, I left DBTB in a first class cache in downtown St. Louis (the TB Chateau) so that he may find someone worthy enough to help him on his quest.
Farewell, my sandy friend, and goodspeed to you always! Be sure to write!
Your friend forever,
