Current Goal

Hunchie would very much like to visit his ancestry at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. Once there, photos posted of him in and around the structure would be especially nice before placing him in a nearby suitable (large) cache.

About This Item

Travelbug "Hunchie"

Hunchie was originally found by his adopted parents, Kevin & Susan, washed up on a secluded beach in Oxnard, California December 28, 2001 while they were searching for a now-archived cache known as Beach Walk. They brought him home and cleaned him up and took care of him all these months, even bringing him along on some of their cache hunts to pose with the cache contents at each find.
Alas, our Hunchie has grown restless and wants to travel the world without us. His first goal is to see his heritage in France, including the home of his namesake at the Notre Dame Cathedral. From there, he'd simply like to travel through Europe awhile, and on around the world to exotic lands. Photos posted of him wherever he goes would be most appreciated (He really likes to ham it up for the camera).
We have grown quite fond of Hunchie these past seven months, but realize he has his own life to live. We bid him ''aurevoir!'' and ''Amor!''
He has a tag attached explaining his goal(s) so (hopefully) no one will take him in the wrong direction. Please be good to him. Find nice, large caches in which to place him, so he doesn't get left out in the cold.

Retrieve It from a Cache 7/20/2003 Thorntree retrieved it from Don't Jump Jenny! New Jersey   Visit Log

We have Hunchie! He was found wearing a nice Berks County 250th aniversary pin. He is in fine condition, but we will carefully wash his face and remove a spot or two of mildew from his pants before passing him on. We will probably let him take family trips with us this summer and take him as far as the British Isles in the spring. Will post a picture or two later.

I've got Hunchie!! TLendy was nice enough to get him to the picnic where whe had a great time. I'm going to try to get him to New Jersey by next week, so he'll be closer to some major airports. Hopefully someone will move him along to France.

He sure came a long way to see me!

While it is still Wabbit season, in a week it will be deer season. Since Hunchie does not have a safety orange jacket, he will be safer if he is out of the woods and enjoying a short visit at my house. I will see that he continues his journey to another large cache in the near future.
