Current Goal

Travel to many places that have the letter Y in their name. This bug should try to make its way back to Pennsylvania at some point, but there's certainly no hurry. Why the name and goal? Because Bryan (note the Y ;-)) has this thing about the letter Y, most likely because it is so versitile.

About This Item

Something with a Y

The ornament attached to this bug was given to me by a very special woman named Debbie (no Y, but she's working on it :-)) and we're setting it loose on our first trip away together. I am a coaster nut and Kennywood is an amusement park near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA where we live. Coast N Bug is my other bug which is riding the coasters of the world, so I figured that this bug should have a different goal.

A couple of hours after it was left in the Ackerdijkse plassen the Y countinued it's travel. There is a nice cache with a Y nearby, so no problem to find the next stop.

Retrieved it from station to station. My name has an IJ in it. Does this mean I can keep it? :-)

Found the bug today near Geesteren and dropped it off some hours later naer Velp. Before that I had no opportunity to read the cache page, so I didn't know about the y, sorry. It will be difficult to find places with a y in Holland: we do have Hippolytushoef en Yerseke, but as far as I know there are no caches over there. Will ij do as well? IJ wont't be a problem.

As we found this travel bug in the Ijsvogel (Kingfisher) cache, we saw no kingfishers – but we did see a stork. The travel bug with Kennywood on it brought back some happy memories to a friend of ours. She is a member of the Lowlandfamily cache team. She is originally from the Pittsburgh area (Oakmont) and went to Kennywood every year in her childhood. It was always fun to go on the rollercoasters – the Jack Rabbit, the Python – and of course – the Racer!!! Wow great memories!!! There are probably newer roller coasters nowadays – but the old ones were great fun. Duke @ Family

We found it in the hollow tree, so we tought we could make him fly. We took him home with us to Holland. Because we are still looking for an 'Y' cache/place it will stay with us for a while.
