About This Item

Mistake #1: Originally, this bug was "Off to See the Lizard," a very nice little tropical-print stuffed animal. Like certain other nifty travel bugs, it appears to have been too tempting for a cacher who ran across it and the lizard has dropped from circulation.

The Marmot has run into this problem before and has decided it was a mistake to turn something of value into a travel bug. When one of these nicer things goes astray, the Marmot uses the back-up duplicate bug tag and uses something absolutely worthless as the travel bug.

Mistake #2: The second mistake happened a couple of years ago when the Marmot was in New York City. He had a long wait in line to get a subway token. Being a forward-thinking mammal, the Marmot decided to buy extra tokens for future trips to NYC. That way, he wouldn't have to wait in line. Unfortunately, in the interim, the New York City subway went to a different fare system and the old tokens became worthless.

This New York subway token is worthless... making it a perfect travel bug!

Mistake #3 It appears that the original bug - "Off to See the Lizard" - is back after being missing for years! Now there may be two bugs with the identical tag number out there! Or is the replacement bug lost now...

    Since the Lizard hasn't been seem or heard from in a year and a half, it's time to retrieve the bug and restart things with the duplicate tag.

    This TB has been resting too long (in a slendid park I might add.) Well it's time you moved south since the nights have been getting colder. I'll try to move you next weekend.

    We picked this up at Iron Mountain after a long hike/bike ride. We will move this to a new cache next weekend, hopefully somewhere near I-55/I-64 so that it can begin it's journey south (it's already starting to get cold here).
