UPDATE: MaxB wrestled this TB away from ohjoy! at GeoWoodstock 5, as their 9,226th Travel Bug!! This is the second in the series that Max has found, and in just under two years, it had traveled 9,403.7 miles across three countries and two continents! It is now free to roam the world, one cache at a time...thanks to everyone who moved it along!

About This Item

Please help me find MaxB!

ORIGINAL MISSION: In December 2004, I returned to my hometown of Bellevue, WA for the first time in 20 years. I took a liking to this miniature Coke bottle as soon as I saw it in GCGTA4 "Depot Detour `Ekolu", and knew that it'd see the road again as a travel bug soon. A quest to find MaxB is the perfect excuse!

About my mission: One day not so long ago, MaxB on the River found FSU*Noles in Columbus, Ohio. Over a day of caching, a friendship was formed...and now, I am part of a series of TB's being dropped around the world in search of MaxB on the River. Please let MaxB find me honestly - no hand-offs or events or pre-arranged meetings, what fun would that be?

I am the fourth of six bugs in the series, and I am starting out in beautiful Amsterdam, Netherlands...one of my favorite cities in the world. Please keep me moving, and pictures are always welcome...thanks for helping me along!

    I've had the Mini Coke Bottle (Finding Max B) TB far too long - but it's been a fun trip for both of us. I had intended to leave this traveler in the final cache for the Interstate 90 challenge (in Massachusetts) - but I wasn't pleased with the security of that loction. Hopefully, we'll say our sayonaras at a secure cache in the next couple of days - a bit closer to Niles, Michigan (and a reunion with the legendary Max B) - and with two "new" states checked off the travel itinerary.
    Visited 11/20/2010 tokyotako took it to If You don't hide them We can't find them South Carolina - 87.04 miles  Visit Log

    The Mini Coke Bottle came along for a neat Event in Florence, South Carolina. So, another state can now be checked off the itinerary.
