Once There I ask that someone punches my attached ticket.
After my ticket is punched I want to travel back to Seattle to the Leifr Cache(this cache is gone). OK new destination, any cache in the Ballard area of Seattle Washington.(but again only after I make it to Toronto.
PS Along the way I would really get a kick out of visiting the Purple Nurple cache on Long Island Sound.

    Went to Kentucky on vacation. We found the Travel Bug in Big Bone Lick State Park. We brought it home with us to Michigan yesterday. We looked at the log and seen that it was not moving too fast. My wife suggested that we take it to Canada. So this morning we drove to Windsor. I think we helped the goal of Purple Nurple to get to Uncle Don's in Toronto. Our daughter was attached to PN, and she did not want to part with it. My wife told her if it doesn't move in a couple of weeks that she will drive it closer to its destination. Somebody PLEASE HELP!!!

    A Purple Ducky,
    that is me.
    I was lost,
    and living carefree.
    Then along came Cooper,
    a curious Britt.
    He sniffed me out,
    while on a trip.
    That dog and me,
    we wrestled with might.
    I’m sad to say,
    I lost the fight!

    At that moment,
    I thought my end was near.
    I shook & trembled,
    with great fear.
    As a tear rolled down my little cheek,
    I seen a family that was really sweet!

    The mom was a nurse,
    with a really kind heart!
    She told her family,
    we must do our part!

    They took me to their camper,
    and fed me fish.
    They fixed my injuries,
    just as I wished.

    When the sun came up,
    I told them that it was time for me to go.
    But that sweet family said,
    NO, NO, NO!!

    I told that family that they were great,
    but I needed to go,
    I had a date!

    I told them North was where I needed to be,
    so I could venture back to Seattle,
    and be one of the original three.

    North they said,
    and smiled with glee!
    Then stick with us,
    and we can help thee.

    So North we headed,
    in the family car.
    We drove for hours,
    so very far!

    To their home in Michigan,
    they took me.
    Then across to Canada,
    is where they set me Free!

    We hope that everyone will do their part and get this little sweet ducky to Toronto quickly! He misses his family, and wants to go home! There's no place like home after a long journey! Team Cooper :)

    • Purple Nurple and Cooper Purple Nurple and Cooper became the best of friends on their trip back home to Michigan.
