About This Item

 

Who is Iron Chef?

He's an amazing young man who was tragically killed at the age of 33 by a very young driver in Santa Maria, California on August 9, 2014. Iron Chef  Was a Charter Geocacher and helped place many geocaches throughout California.

Most of all, a kind, sweet, caring, giving and generous friend to everyone he knew. He had a law degree, was due to graduate with his PhD in the Spring of 2015 and he raised guide dogs. Matthew was a passionate Geocacher and Randonneur (which is a long distance bicycle rider) who followed all road rules very fastidiously and was very safe. Please honor Matthew's legacy by simplyChanging a Lane to Save a Life.

  • You may carry the bug yourself along long distances by any mode of transportation, but the bug should not cross more than one state boundary between caches in this method

Discovered It 9/16/2023 MiriCach discovered it   Visit Log

TL;DR: We don't have the trackable (and feel sorry for you if it means it is still missing), but stumbled upon its discovery code.

The story: I discovered this trackable/coin when I cracked the cache "Msportis Coinlihaus der 2." and then was able to reverse-engineer some Coins/TBs of the owner Msporti as well. By pure chance / luck while testing out possibilities for this I also came across this TB/coin. We hope that it's okay that we discover it, if not, feel free to delete this log. TFTC/TFTT 😉

Made it to Va. Beach, left The Big Red One in the High and Dry cache in First Landing State Park. It sure has a lot of keychains attached. Almost too many to fit in the cache boxes.

Retrieve It from a Cache 9/24/2002 Geo G retrieved it from Cache at Blackburn's Ford Virginia   Visit Log

Found the bug after a nice short hike. Plan on visiting Va. Beach, so the bug can get a little sun..

Found this cache and travel bug this morning about 11:30. Lots of hikers out this morning even though it was raining a little bit. Not a great view from the mountain either. Took the travel bug and an American flag pin, and left a PSU football parking pass and a Trails Less Traveled book. It was about time I hiked up that mountain again!

Snuck out from work at lunchtime to retrieve this bug. I am hoping to place it in an interesting spot this weekend while on a vacation trip.

Found in the Mouse Trap Cache. My first Travel Bug. The Big Red One made it from Seattle to New Jersey in one big jump. Crossing about ten state lines. Will add a key ring and send him on his way.
