Current Goal

Seeing as this is a musical item, from a musical cache, then it'd be nice for it to travel via some of the great musical locations around the world...I'm thinking about places like Nashville, New Orleans, Memphis...use your imagination, and please post photographs to the Geocaching.com website if you can.

On the off-chance that anyone who comes into contact with this TB happens to be a musician, and can commit the sound to the TB to record that's be a real bonus!

About This Item

The Meandering Maraca

This Travel Bug is "The Meandering Maraca". It started it's life in a musically-themed cache ("The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Music") in Northumberland, England.

One night I was in a bar in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, when some promotional guys for Barcardi Rum came in, handing out these little maracas to everyone in the pub. I'm sure it seemed like a great idea to them - it's certainly one way to make people aware of the brand. However, I don't think they'd really though about the effects of giving one of these to everyone in a busy bar, on a Saturday night, less than an hour before closing time. It got loud in there….really loud. I don't know how much the bar staff got paid that night, but believe me it wasn't enough.
