Charlie has made it home. Absolutely amazing. After 3 years two months and over 13,000 miles Charlie has returned from Florida with a pile-o-sand. He collected sand from multiple beaches, plus a sea shell, sand dollar, and a neat piece of sea glass. Thanks to all the great geocachers who helped him on his way. I've even completely forgiven the cacher who temporarily diverted Charlie from his mission to visit Alaska! (Luckily the next finder took him right back to sunny Florida.) Special thanks goes to team2hunt for going out of their way to get charlie home. Sorry about the cache recommendation guys. I realized when I picked Charlie up this morning that it may not have been easy to find at night and in the snow!
Charlie now goes into temporary retirement....Until another worthy mission is determined.
