Current Goal

I believe that every key holds a story. This travel bug is being released in an attempt to gather these untold stories. It will be interesting to have this travel bug wander aimlessly gathering tales of the keys that it collects on the key ring.

About This Item

Keys Last Seen

I am starting this collection of keys and stories with a key labeled "MADE IN U.S.A. ACE B51". This key belonged to the first Police Cruiser I have ever driven as a Rookie Patrolman with The Waterbury Vermont Police Department. The Police Cruiser was a Light Blue Chevrolet Caprice. The Cruiser is long gone and has been replaced several times over by now. This key holds quite a bit of sentimental value to me, so be sure to keep this travel bug moving.

Any type of key can be added to this travel bug. The rules are simple, add a key, then log a story about that particular key on this web page and then release the travel bug back into another GeoCache for it to move onto the next story teller.

Some of the stories I hope to see are things like the key to the first car you have ever owned, the key to your great granpappy's shed where he stored his liquor during prohibition, maybe even the key to John Gotti's prison cell... Who knows... That's what this travel bug is all about.

my uncle took me to my first cache, not only was i excited, but a travel bug made of keys, i always had a think for keys growing up, i guess i never whanted to be left behing? so i am including my favorite key from my childhood memories of living with my grandmother and uncle it was my uncle's blue car key that he only had one of and would never let me hold them for fear of losing them, any ways when he retired his car he gave me the key, it seems silly tho but the games he would play with that key will forever make me laugh as i reflect on my childhood

I've added the BALDWIN key. About 20 years ago the wife and I bought a rundown rambling old Victorian home and restored it by hand. One of the few things we subcontracted were some new stained glass doors made by a couple that lived (by choice) in a house full of kids and no indoor toilet on a mountain near Homer, GA. They designed and built the glass and their friend from the other side of the mountain made the doors. We sold the house 13 years ago. This key is from a reproduction brass lockset we installed on one of those doors.

This travel bug is a really neat idea! We found the cache earlier today, and decided to take the bug - the first bug we have ever found! We added an old car key, which went to JT$'s first car. I think I will hang on to it for a week or so and drop it off when I arrive in GA. Thanks for the great bug!

Nej, JT$, and Jason
