Current Goal

This guy wants to make the trek from South-East to North-West the old fashioned way: thumbing rides. I'd eventually like to meet back up with this guy in Spokane, WA, but he's in no hurry.

About This Item

This TBtag was sent to me from Kiawa, a geocacher in PA, while I was deployed to Iraq, just over a year ago. In the note accompanying the walking dude (he wasn't a TB at the time) Kiawa writes: "This is a CacheMan created by a geocacher in my area named RickyB. They are rare and very sought-after, so hold on to it!" Why on earth would I send this guy out, then? Well, it was a part of a package that lifted my spirits when I was downrange. I just want to share that with everyone else. Besides, it's not everyday that someone gets to hold something this rare in their hands and I'd like to accomodate that in my own little way. Thanks again Kiawa. THE WALKIN' DUDE IS READY TO MOVE ON.

Now that he's made it to the Northwest and been there for some time I want to see if he's got the stones to get to Alaska, then to travel to Maine. Once he gets to Maine from Alaska we'll figure out where he wants to go next. After all, he is The Walkin' Dude. Standing still just doesn't suit him.
