Current Goal

We released this travelbug in Key Largo, Florida. I would like it to return to a cache near its origin in Minnesota, near zip code 55438. Before it returns, however, I would like it to visit each of the States in the U.S. that begin with the letter "M".

About This Item

The You Are Special travelbug is a heart shaped ceramic piece with the words "You Are Special" Painted on it along with flowers. It is relatively small and will fit in any size cache.

Update Sept 06: So far this bug has made the M states of Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Maine, and Massachusetts. It still needs to make Michigan, Montana and Maryland before returning home to Minnesota. It has traveled over 15,000 official miles.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 8/19/2004 Spooty grabbed it   Visit Log

Found it at Winged Warrior's great cache (my first FTF too).

I'm geocaching Amarillo all week, so I may drop it off somewhere else today or tomorrow. Sorry, I'm not planning on visiting any "M" states in the near future.

I have included the "You Are Special" TB in a new cache I have just hidden called American Dream located in Amarillo, TX. I have had this bug beyond the time I anticipated due to medical emergencies in my family. I hope it continues it's travels soon. Good luck!

You are Special decided the climate of Northern Arizona was to his liking. Old People who had him for a while just got him logged into this cache (July 1). They have been in the high country of AZ and NM for the last 12 days. This is the first time they have been near civilization and a computer - so they are a little slow in getting him logged into the cache.

Removed this TB as it was in a pretty isolated cache, far from the main freeway's. Going to move it to a location closer to I-80 where it can move to another state easier! We'll do this in the next 6 days! Until then YOU ARE SPECIAL is relaxing with a MAI TAI by the pool.
