Adam's Caravan Camel

Adam, my owner, is now 14 years old and wants to "race me" and "chase me" around the US. Adam's original Travel Bug (Adam's Backpacking Bear - see TBGXYF) was lost on 26 Dec 10 in a Michigan cache: "On Pinery Rd". After the trail went cold, Adam's dad placed this new Travel Bug during a deployment to Al Udeid AB, Qatar in 2012 to pick up where Adam's Backpacking Bear left off.

I have a two-part mission: Race - visit all 50 states plus D.C. before Adam visits them (see current tally below). Chase - I'd like to periodically be cached near my owner so he can visit me and get his picture taken with me as he grows up (currently Adam lives in South Carolina, but as an Air Force brat he'll be moving frequently). No successful chases yet.  Please get me back to the US and take lots of pictures to show each state I've visited but please don't take me out of the US once I make it back - I love that country too much.  See also my Adam's sister's travel bug: TBGXYF Rachel's Marshmellow Bear.

Three-inch tall, soft furry brown camel with a decorative saddle and knife. Current State Race status as of July 2017: Adam (made it to all 50 States, plus DC, BC, MB!!!) vs. Backpacker Bear*/Caravan Camel (33 - ND*, OR, WA, AZ*, CO*, CA, WI*, IL*, MI*, KS, MO, NE, WY, UT, MT, SD, NJ, OH, IN, FL, AK, VA, NH, ME, NY, PA, WV, MD, AL, ID, NV, RI, MA plus Canada [Q, YT, A, BC,PEI, NS]  and Qatar, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore). Please help me catch up in the US. Current State Chase status: 1 (ND - initial release of Backpacker Bear). Adam now lives in upstate South Carolina so please get his camel back closer to him so he can see it again.
