Current Goal

August 3, 2010:  It's time for this bug to come home.  I moved to Washington state and would like to to return to a nearby cache, anything around zip code 98862.  I'll create a cache for it's return.  I realize it is never likely to resurface, but that is it's mission now...Mike

My 2003 Cedar Fire Bug is my first bug and was placed into my first cache on the first anniversary of the worst fires in California history. It will begin it's journey .75 mile from where my home once stood. Fire Bug's goal is to generate an email from anyone who takes my Fire Bug for a ride and tell me if you were affected by the California Wild Fires of 2003 and how it affected you.

About This Item

Front Side of Melt # 1 Swag

Placed into my Cedar Fire 2003 cache (GCKXQY) on October 26, 2004 at 0620 hours and tagging along, is a "Melt" travel buddy, a cut from the larger piece of melted aluminum of a wheel from my Honda Civic. These are special art forms that many fire victims have come to prize. The larger piece is hung on the side of my temporary home. There are also 6 more original Melts with keychains in this cache as of this morning (10-26-2004) More information is available at my Geocaching support site: http://www.otwc.net/geo and/or http://www.otwc.net/geo/cedarfire2003 Email Mike at: cedarfire2003TB@otwc.net

Found Cedar Fire Bug in Peakpeek Cache, Manitou Experimental Forest, Pike Natl Forest, Colo on 9/18/05. Perfect location of the cache - on the edges of Colorado's most devistating fire ever - June 2002 destroying >135,000 acres of beautiful pine forest. Will provide for it an appropriate new resting place for it's continued travels.

My wife and two of our granddaughters found the bug on the day after Thanksgiving. We will take the bug to a new location.

We were not directly affected by the fire. However, we did watch with sad hearts the destruction of life and property.
