About This Item

Joe Peterson, Co-founder, Escapees RV Club
04/23/1927 – 12/22/2010
 
        Joe always carried a pocketful of gold coins with him to give to people, not only for tips, but “just because” he felt they deserved it. Such was his giving nature.
        At his memorial service , family members passed out gold coins to everyone in the room. One more treasured keepsake of Joe we will carry with us.
        Yes, Joe was a giver and one lesson we can remember from him is his trust in mankind. Because of this trust he carried with him, Joe said, “I am not going to let anyone else’s bad deeds change my good nature.”

    We took a trip to our first ever Mega Event and thought this would be a good place to get it into the hands of a cacher from far away and get it to another part of the country. Thanks for letting me travel with your TB! What an awesome tribute to a great guy.

    • Joe Peterson TB at West Bend Cache Bash 2012
    Visited 6/4/2012 Copaman took it to Willow Creek Travel Bug Motel Iowa - 163.89 miles  Visit Log

    I had to come down to Iowa to fill in some of my Jasmer grid, so I brought my trackables with me. Here's some more miles and another state visited!
    Visited 6/2/2012 Copaman took it to LoneRock - SDSQ South Dakota - 288.74 miles  Visit Log

    Out visiting Pipestone, Minnesota where the Sioux carved peace pipes out of the soft stone. While here, we zipped across the nearby border to grab a quick cache in South Dakota and took the TBs with us to get some more miles and states.
    Visited 5/30/2012 Copaman took it to Alvin's Phone Line Minnesota - 101.81 miles  Visit Log

    This is a historic cache - it was the first cache placed in the state of Minnesota, making it the oldest active cache in the state. It's a Mecca for all Minnesota geocachers, and I had to make the trek up here to visit it - and I brought all my TBs with me for the ride.
    Visited 5/30/2012 Copaman took it to Windmill Cache Wisconsin - 390.8 miles  Visit Log

    I needed a month/year combo for my Jasmer grid, so I stopped off at this one on my way north. It also allows the TB to visit another state! This is a very cool windmill and log cabin with a lot of history that I never would have found if it weren't for geocaching!
    Visited 5/19/2012 Copaman took it to Stone Faced Illinois - 349.74 miles  Visit Log

    This was the first cache I visited in Chicago, Illinois on a beautiful sunny day!
    Retrieve It from a Cache 4/28/2012 Copaman retrieved it from MnGCA Breakfast Buddies - Richfield Minnesota   Visit Log

    Very cool travel bug! I'll spread Joe's good nature far and wide on the geotrail!
