Current Goal

Hi - I'm BEN and am very gentle with kids and nice geocachers too! My fur is SOFT and I'm VERY HUGGABLE but please be nice to me because as you can feel and see ... my claws are hard and sharp. My ultimate goal is to get to Alaska and be with my other Grizzly friends but my immediate goal is to be with you and log as many miles as we can together! LUV - BEN

*PLEASE DO NOT PLACE IN EVENTS

Gentle Ben took a side trip on his way to Alaska. At least there was lots of snow and it was in the mountains.

A True Story finally being told...

But first, Hi, MaxB - I'll be out your way to visit in about month. Hope to see you then.

And - Hi, Tommy Trojan and Helen of Troy - yes I have one more of your critters.

I began caching in Washington State two and a half years ago. Find #100 was a Caveboy_Ken cache in Michigan. We became good friends and about a year later, he introduced me to 1/2 of MaxB. Since then I also look forward to visiting with her and trading stories and bugs whenever I get to Michigan.

MaxB told me about Tommy Trojan and Helen of Troy's TBs, and since then I have been priveleged to move a number of them. Currently Edgar the Eagle is looking forward to traveling with me to see MaxB.

Well, just over a week ago while in Utah helping my daughter pack to move back to Washington, I discovered a TB. It looked big, and my first thought was to leave it behind. Until I discovered that it was another Tommy Trojan and Helen of Troy TB - Gentle Ben, so I took it with glee. And it already had a MaxB tag on it. BUT - it hasn't been to Michigan yet.

Right now Gentle Ben is on my desk. I would be glad to take him to Michigan for a visit before heading him farther north in Washington toward Alaska.

Let me know, friends, if you would like that to happen.

PS - any more of your TBs in my territory right now? I love helping them on their way.

Sorry that it took me so long to finally place it. There aren't very many containers big enough for Gentle Ben to fit in. I finally decided to drop him off in a place that I knew was big enough. We enjoyed having him with us though.
