BUCKLE BUG

The Bug Has Simple Goals

1. Get It From A Cache
2. Scribe your initials Front or Back(small)
3. Take SomePictures
4. Log It
5. Put It In A Cache -- Along the returnroute (See Rules Section Below)

HISTORY UPDATE -- TrackingHistory -- Buckle Bug has now traveled (8013.2mi) Sometimeshortly after 9/6/2004 when Bucko & Slick Willy thepirate placed it in South Slough Travel Bug Stash the bugwent AWOL. UNTIL one historic day, 6/24/2006, when twosporterfound it in Oregon and sent me a note. I requested that hehold it until I could formulate a plan to get it back toTexas.

OLD HISTORY -- Visited "Pork andBeans" on July 5, 2003 and picked up this Belt Buckle.The idea was born to make it a travel bug and get GeoCacherinitials from all over the world. And hopefully accompany theGeoCacher and go to Western Theme Spots, Rodeos, CowboySites, Cowboy Kids, etc.

There is a NEW SPECIAL DEAL for those thatfollow the rules. The other hobby that I have is CastingJewelry and other objects in Precious Metals, Pewter andBronze. The rewards will be Hand Cast Pewter Objects.
