About This Item

Gronk The Flea

I like to hop from place to place, catching rides on dogs or geocachers. I was hatched in Houston, Texas. Since I am a flea, I like to hop in all different directions. If I went, for example, north, on my last hop, please take me in any other direction except north on my next hop.

It is always fun when I run into another geocacher at a cache location. Pretending the GPSr is a cell phone.
Will be taking the TB back to San Francisco.

Finally got the flea back out to bounce around in the wild. I hope he stays together awhile, and if for some reason he falls apart again, I hope some other kind person can put him back together to bounce from place to place.

Sorry I am still holding onto this, I had intended to get out caching sooner. I just moved and it has been quite hectic. I will get it out and to a new home as soon as possible!

Hot glued Gronk back together again! Added a picture. I'll be putting him in a baggie and placing him sometime soon. Hopefully by putting him in a bag he will at least keep his parts together if he happens to fall apart again. I did go back to the cache and find his other wing and his bowtie... so I didn't change the wings, just gave him a new foot. 😁

Well, I was going to add a picture... but for some reason I can't find that option... so... i suppose I won't attach a new picture of Gronk.

Finally figured it out!

  • Gronk Rebuilt! Alright, I figured out the adding of pictures! Here is Gronk rebuilt! I was able to go back to the cache site and find his wing and bow... so it's almost all the origional stuff, just a new foot, which is ALMOST the same color... Almost!

Well, Gronk has had one very eventful trip from the looks of him... he is currently in three peices... his head, body and one of his feet. I intend to find my hot glue gun and put him all back together... and if I can find some yellow felt I'll make him a new little foot as well, if not maybe he'll get a new foot that is a different color. I'll post a new picture when I get him all put back together. He looked so sad in all the peices that I had to take him home... I'll get him put back together sometime soon and continue him on his journey... I'll have to look and see what direction he moved last so he goes a different way. Gronk will be as good as new once I get him all put together 😁 I don't think you can ever stop a flea anyways...
