About This Item

Rigger- Ready for Adventure

The current stuffed mouse (technically a cat toy) is as yet unidentified.

Prior travelers have been a large Green Rat, the original Rigger, and a Kanagaroo Rat named Keona, Rigger's girlfriend. Both have gone MIA during their travels, and I have re-made the bug with a hand-made tag.  Rigger's name derives from a nautical term, and Keona was named by a prior finder. In addition to traveling around to fun and unique places, Rigger, Keona, and their others friends have a story to tell.

Many cachers may have played a game at summer camp where a leader begins a story, then points to another person who must pick up the story where the leader left off. The leader continually changes where s/he points, and each new person must pick up the story where the previous left off.

Rigger wants to play this game with a geocaching twist. When you log Rigger in, read through all the logs to see where the story left off. To make this easier, I am chronicling Rigger's story myself at this link: rigger.pdf. I'll do my best to update this whenever a new log is added, but please read the last few logs just to be sure. Then, when you place Rigger in a new cache, add your part to the story.

Rigger's Story should have action, adventure, comedy, drama, romance, and more. Be creative, but please also be family-friendly. Feel free to add new settings, new characters, new plot twists, and so on. However, try to keep to any plot threads that develop, and not send Rigger all over the universe at random. And let's say between approximately 20 and 100 words per entry.

So what will happen to Rigger next?

Putting the bug back into my hands in order to re-release a duplicate. The new toy mouse doesn't look like either Rigger or his friend Keona. Who is this new mouse? Where did he or she come from? How does it all fit into the Rigger universe? That's up to the next finder to figure out. Help tell the story!

Yet during this respite, Rigger fell in to a very long and deep sleep. Being quite worried about him, his girlfriend Keona sought ought a mysterious old duck, cobalt in color. The duck was an old explorer that Rigger had told her had helped him get a start in life. The duck gave her a tag with some numbers on it, telling her it had once belonged to Rigger, and if she held onto it carefully, she could re-awaken Rigger and allow his story to continue. So she clipped this tag around her neck, and proceeded on her way.

Indeed, life returned to Rigger immediately, though in physical form he became completely invisible! But Rigger and Keona got moving again, keeping side by side, opaque beside transparent, but closer because of this latest ordeal.

The other friends soon followed behind, ready to seek the next adventure.
