ShutterBug

Trying to get to the Clang! GeoCache near Frederick, Maryland

My original GeoCaching camera Travel Bug, ShutterBug was released near Frederick, Maryland with a goal of reaching the Willow Creek GeoCache near Lake Arrowhead, California, taking pictures along the way. Of my first three camera bugs, ShutterBug is the only one to have reached its destination.

It's been a while, and this little Travel Bug has had a good rest, but it's time to get it moving once again. ShutterBug is ready to move again, this time traversing the country from west to east, returning to its origins near Frederick, Maryland.

If you find ShutterBug, please keep the following ground rules in mind:

• ShutterBug is going a long way, but he's taking a leisurely trip. Please move this camera no more than 150 miles in a single hop. If the nearest cache is more than 150 miles away, you can break this rule, but this probably won't be an issue.
• Please don't be a "film hog". The camera only holds 27 exposures, so we ask that finders please take only one or two photos before moving it on.
• If ShutterBug does run out of film along the way, send me an e-mail through this website or via the address on the camera, and we will arrange for replacement. There are several options for doing this, so we'll work out the best arrangement for you.
• Log your find here on this page. It's amazing how many people will move a Travel Bug along without actually logging their particular leg of its journey. We'd like to see where ShutterBug has been, and we can't do that if people don't log its travels.
