About This Item

The Lake Titlow bobber originated in the "One Titlow" cache in Gaylord, Minnesota. It was used by a town native there who fished the lake all his life with this bobber. His last fishing trip occurred at the age of 97 and the gentleman later died at the age of 99. The bobber should be considered a lucky and fortunate item to come across and orders an amount of respect. Please e-mail zarris@ptd.net concerning the travel bugs whareabouts as it travels from fishing hole to fishing hole. Thanks, Cacher ck Mankato, MN

***An additional note from 1yioi87 ***
"I am not the owner of the tag that is on the bobber but I am the one who originally put the bobber in One Titlow. The wife of the fisherman was with me at the time and is here over my shoulder as we speak. She is only 97. I asked her if she wanted it to stay in MN or travel and her comment was "Let it go". She and the owner were travlers in their later days and she is now happy that so much attention is being made of the bobber. Go for it."

Taken from the TB hotel by a young boy who is going to learn how to fish with his new rod in a 4H "Take a Kid Fishing Club" in September & October. He will release it to new adventures when it has worked its magic on a fisherman just starting out.

While attending our first geo-caching event (geo-Canada) we saw this bobber and decided to move it along with us on our travels. It will be dropped in a cache soon.

I can move this TB to the West Coast of the USA. It is much warmer there.
