Current Goal

I would like to travel anywhere but I would also like to know what Scoubidou is and where it came from, who invented it and when. I know that the craze surfaced at least 36 years ago but that is about all. I would ask that any cachers logging this find append any information or interesting facts to unravel this mystery.

It seems as if we always visited caches with TBs after Firth of Forth from Scotland had place a TB in them.... 🙂 So it was also with this cache where we found the Scoubidou Travel Bug which was placed there only two days before by Firth of Forth. We have again taken it with us to Germany where it will find a new place soon.

Decided to rescue this TB from one of my caches. I didn't even know what these were called, so can't help out! I will take the TB to Portugal soon.
