UPDATE - Just to give your class an upate of the travels of this travel bug. Right now, the bug is on an offshore oil platform. the coordinates are 29.34.8 N and 89.07.1 W This will give you a close idea as to where your bug is.
The area is just north of Breton Island off of the coast of Louisiana. This area is famous for the Breton National Wildlife refuge. At one time, it was the largest breeding ground of Brown Pelicans in the United States. The water depth is approx. 20 ft.
Ivan, the recent hurricane to devistate the coast, passed just East of here. There was major damage to the barrier islands in this area. Nature has a way of rebuilding these islands and hopefully in a few years they will be nice and big again.
Out here on the oil platform, we produce oil and gas to help supply the worlds energy needs. My job is as a Paramedic. I'm here to provide safety and medical protection just in case an employee would get hurt.
Next week, i will bring "the bug" back in to shore and deposit him in a cache that is frequently visited. From there I hope "Mr. Whistle" (since I added the whistle to the chain) travels to some very interesting places.
