About This Item

photo

I love finding trackables in caches. So, it has become my habit to launch ten new trackables into the wild each spring. In 2009, I launched ten gold ingots each heading to one of the ten best colleges in the United States (as ranked by Forbes Magazine in 2008). In 2010, I launched ten little turtles to visit each county in Oregon. In 2011, I launched ten unicorns each heading to one of the world’s most romantic cities. And in 2012, I launched ten compass roses to visit each continent of the world.
 
These ingots are each named for the president of the college they wish to attend: (1) Alfred, Swarthmore College, PA; (2) Anthony, Amherst College, MA; (3) Drew, Harvard, MA; (4) Franklin, West Poin, NY; (5) Jean-Lou, CALTEC, Pasadena, CA; (6) Kim, Wellesley College, MA; (7) Lee, Columbia University, NY; (8) Morton, Williams College, MA; (9) Richard, Yale, CT; and (10) Shirley, Princeton, NJ.

Jean-Lou is named for Jean-Lou Chameau, president of CALTEC.  He started in Oregon in March 2009, twnety-one months later, in December 2010, he was declared missing in British Columbia.  A year after having gone missing, I activated a proxy.  Then In May 2012, 17 months after having gone missing, the original was found!  Please continue helping him on his way to college.  He will be available for adoption upon completion of his goal.
