About This Item

Please do your best to take him to a state where he hasn't been yet. He will speak to you if you press the little button on his back. We're not sure, but it sounds like he is saying "take me to Alaska."

Retrieve It from a Cache 5/6/2004 BAJA Clan retrieved it from THE BEACH Missouri   Visit Log

Decided to take Redeye across the river to IL with me as his accompanying log said he had not visited there yet. Previous computer logs, however, seem to indicate he [i]has[/i] been here, so I will take him back to MO tomorrow to the St. Louis Area Geocachers Assn. spring picnic, where I am sure someone will be happy to move him along to yet another state.

04/14/2004 update ---Diane and I checked Redeye's log and could not find where he had been to indiana. So we took him along geocaching in Indiana and left him at "Toby's trail" geocache. I had a problem when logging the placement of redeye in the cache . As I was about to click on the icon showing Redeye had been placed there the Web server dumped me off the Internet I got back on and have since not been able to record that Redeye is at the "toby Trail " geocache in Indiana.

Diane and I found "REDEYE" at the U.F.O. Cache at Lawless Park in Cass County Michigan 04/13/2004. We got a lot of exercise looking for the cache . Diane noticed "REDEYE" Had not been to Indiana! Diane asked him if he wanted to go to Indiana the poor guy was so choked up he couldn't reply ! So we retrieved him and decided to drive him to Indiana. --- DIANE AND BOB FROM CASSOPOLIS MI.
