About This Item

San Juan Willie at the start of his journey

San Juan Willie started his journey at Mitchell Bay on San Juan Island. A short distance from the path the Orca's take in the Summer when they feed. Since his release, we have moved from Mitchell Bay in Washington State, to Uruguay, and then on to Andorra.

Picked this awesom orca up from his home at Pond Meadow Park in Braintree Massachusetts today 3/29/08.
He looked like he could use some fresh SALTY WATER so I took hime home and he is now comfortably swimming around in my salt water reef tank. He is welcome to swim until I can take him closer to Virginia. I can see from his log he has been away from his family for a long long time and I will do what I can to get him going in the correct direction.
Until then enjoy his latest and surprisingly only his second photo!!

I've finally found a cache that was near a body of water (a pond) that I made a quick dash before I needed to head back to my sister's home for dinner. I wanted to make the drop before I fly back to Minnesota tomorrow morning. I thought that San Juan Willie would enjoy this spot as it was near the water, a soothing & familiar sound and he's now in the east coast, a bit closer to his destination. Hope someone will pick him up and help him on his journey. I would have taken a picture of Willie near the water but, I forgot my camera as I mentioned earlier it was quick cache hunting. Thanks for allowing me to help Willie on his journey. It was fun!.

This is a perfect TB for me to grab as I'll be flying out to east coast to see my family and meeting my new baby nephew during my spring break. I also LOVES animals!!! It was an easy find but gotta keep eyes out for muggles since it was such a nice day. I grabbed San Juan Willie TB! Thanks for the TB.

I liked the looks of this guy. He reminded me of a cast iron whale that sat on our wood stove. That guy was our winter hand warmer. You'd pick him up and hold him for awhile on those cold, cold days, and soon you could feel your fingers again.

Well, there was water nearby (the Mighty Mississippi), but didn't see any relatives of this file fellow out there. :) Will get'em moving - thanks for sharing!
