Current Goal

After 11 months on the road (originating in Illinois), “Erik’s Travel Bug” and “Julie’s Travel Bug” were re-united at a cache site in the deserts of Arizona. Together, they had traveled over 9,000 miles on different trails, different directions, only to cross paths far from home--how cool! Now, it is time for them to go their separate ways, to see new sights, meet new friends and put on some more miles. "Erik's" short-term goal is to travel more miles than "Julie's". One day they will be re-united again in another location. View "Julie's Travel Bug" at: (visit link)

About This Item

Erik's Travel Bug

The Travel Bug is a older-model VW Beetle, just like I used to have. I had a light blue 1967 model with a sunroof, and it was a great car. It had well over 100,000 miles on it when I bought it. The long term goal of this "Erik's Travel Bug" is to exceed 100,000 miles. Take this bug on vacation with you and drop it off, or just move it quickly from local site to site. Happy trails!

Nabbed this Travel Bug (VW Bug?) today. Had to travel a pretty rough road to get to it. Not sure how a VW got up a road that I had to use a 4X4 on? Mysteries never cease. Anyway, I won’t move it far but it will go to a cool spot.

I was on my way back home from the Dusty Trails event cache and stopped by to get this cache. I let Erik's beetle visit with me. He is now on his way back to Northern Utah. I'll get him placed soon and let someone else have a turn with him.<p>Keep on Caching!
