Current Goal

I am originally from Falmouth, UK and have spent many hours sailing in Carrick Roads admiring the Oyster Boats, one of which is pictured on the TB. The TB's mission is to visit as many places named Falmouth before returning to the original one - Falmouth Cornwall UK. I have started things off by placing the TB in one of them - Falmouth Virginia. I know of the following Falmouths: Falmouth Massachusetts, Falmouth Maine and Falmouth Kentucky in the USA, plus Falmouth Jamaica, but feel free to take it anywhere named Falmouth before returning it to Kernow.

Update:

Famouth Kentucky achieved (thankyou blhumpr) 6 May 2006

Falmouth Indiana achieved (thankyou beejay&esskay) 15 August 2006

The kids found this one while I fixed the truck! I don't think we're heading to Falmouth, but we'll keep it moving. GOOD LUCK

He’s been to Falmouth, Indiana. He visited the Falmouth Farm Supply Store on the north end of town. Then he went to the Falmouth Grocery, which is also a lunch counter. There were 20 people from Falmouth eating and talking. I asked them why the town was named Falmouth. Most referred me to other people there, but finally someone remembered Falmouth, England. (Now WHY it was named after Falmouth, England will have to remain a mystery.)

After the trip to the grocery, the TB visited the center of town. The population of Falmouth is less than 400, so you may not be too impressed. I thought those were the only pictures of “Falmouth” signs I was going to find, until I started to drive south out of town. There was the Falmouth post office.

I left the TB in a cache 3.5 miles from the center of Falmouth.

(The TB is in all 3 pictures.)

Falmouth Indiana is not far from home, so I’ll see how close I can get him to that Falmouth.

(According to placesnamed.com there are Falmouths in FL, IL, IN, KY, ME, MA, MI, PA, and VA. Surely the US geocachers can get this TB to all of them!)
