About This Item

Geojammer's Ride - "The Ruc Truck"!

Our Chevy Silverado truck is now a Travel Bug! Goodness knows it's been our main source of transportation to most of the geocaches we have found. We bought the Travel Bug decal at the GeoWoodstock VI Mega event. We had a great time at GW6 and camping with Geobrigade, sdarken, Kenneray and their families (Geo*Scout, ldarkens and geosmasher included) that whole weekend. We look forward to seeing the logs of all the Geocachers who discover us on the road! Please tell us where you were when you discovered us.

So after 7423.4 miles of geocaching (and rest assured, this number doesn't even begin to cover all the official miles geocached in "The Ruc Truck"), it has been handed off to a family member who just happens to be a volunteer firefighter with North Carolina's Cedar Mountain Fire Department. Though this TB page has some description of what this rig was about, here is some additional information...

Steve Rucker was a firefighter from Novato California who helped fight the huge fires that burned in the San Diego area in 2003. Steve was also the only firefighter out of more than 13,000 to lose his life during those firestorms. He died fighting the "Cedar Fire" on Wednesday, October 29, 2003.
