About This Item

I want to see high places!!

This travel bug began in a summer class for teachers, called NESSI (Nevada Earth Space Science Initiative). It began its journey during a week long trip to the Nevada/Utah (U.S.A.) border with 70 teachers from the Reno, NV area.

The teachers plan to use this (along with the other 7 travel bugs planted) to help teach about earth science in their elementary, middle, and high school classrooms.

Please post photos if you can, as that will really help the children visualize the areas that are plotted on maps in the classroom.

Wheeler Peak in the background at the location where bug was left.

  • Above 10,000 feet Although this travel bug wasn't "placed" in a cache at a high elevation, it was taken to a high elevation right before putting it in the cache. In fact, it was taken on a hike at Great Basin National Park, which has the second highest point in Nevada. We will leave it outside the park in hopes of someone else carrying it to more high places.
  • Near Wheeler Peak Second highest mountain in Nevada (photo taken above 10,000 feet).
