Hello...my wife and I were on our honeymoon back in June 2004 and we were very green geocache newbies at the time. We took the TB and left something, but I forget what we left, trying now to think back. I know we ate at the Applebees restaurant, sort of near by, afterwards. We had every intention to keep the TB in circulation...but it got hidden in our luggage and we forgot about it until we got back home here in Iowa. Since then it has just been sitting in one of our drawers and we forgot about it again. This is not like us at all and we whole heartly apologize to the TB owner and everyone else trying to find this TB. We are taking it with us geocaching tomorrow to put it back into the hunt.
The good news...is that we must have saved THE EAGLE TB before the vandalizers got to it. The TB we took had THE EAGLE attached to the tag. The Eagle is mostly red & white, and almost the length of the palm of a hand. It looks a lot like a Christmas Tree or Window Ornament.
Not sure how a seperate dog tag got into the mix; resulting in a new TB with a pocket knife attached. There must be two TB's with this number now. However, the owner will hopefully be a little happy knowing their original TB with THE EAGLE is still alive and soon to be released.
Please forgive us...it will never happen again.
