Hey-

I'd given up hope on this little one, so it's great to hear it's back in circulation!

I look forward to hearing about Marathon Bug's further exciting adventures....just keep it running round:-)

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 3/30/2014 MERobison grabbed it   Visit Log

A friend heard I liked geocaching and said they found some travel bugs several years ago, but never got a chance to place them. So they passed them on to me today. I'll bet the TB owner will be surprised to see them still alive.

Well, it did make the mileage. We're the owners of the cache it was in previously and it was definitely more than the 26.5 miles wanted. It was interesting to run across it at the Soda Exchange after it was previously in our cache.

Aloha! Per our calculations we moved Marathon man a touch over a marathon - 26.5 miles! Sadly, we just realized that was from our home and not from the last cache! Don't think we made the marathon - our apologies. Consider it a warm up!

4.29.07 Update: Silly us! We were thinking we nabbed this little shoe from north of us not south! Actually we may have made an ultra-marathon!
