Current Goal

The goal of Grandpa's Hiking Staff TB is to accompany him on cache searches far and wide. It will visit many interesting and diverse places with he and Gram. As a Travel Bug, it is discoverable by any geocacher who might meet up with Grandma and Grandpa on the caching trail or at various events.

About This Item

Grandpa with the staff 1

This TB tag is attached to Grandpa's hiking staff. This walking stick is useful for long treks in pursuit of five-star caches; for beating the brush in areas potentially inhabited by scary creatures; and for helping Grandpa walk when his knee is sore. The staff may also occasionally get a new medallion affixed from someplace really neat that has been visited by Gram&Gramps. It also carries the Wisconsin Geocaching Assoc. 2010 geocoin, TB3X8A9.

Even with a great hiking staff like this one, the walk back to civilization would be too long, so it's back into the car.

Today I had to use my hiking staff as described on the TB page- "...for beating the brush in areas potentially inhabited by scary creatures". See the enclosed pictures to see how I rescued my dear damsel in distress, Grandma...
