Current Goal

Toy Barbara plans to make it all the way to Solihull, England in time for the 60th anniversary of Land Rover, and back to Vashon Island, WA USA. "Dog" is a 1952 80-inch Series I Land Rover. This excellent expedition vehicle can be distinguished from other Vashon Island Explorer's Land Rovers by the bold "D" emblazened upon the bonnet.

About This Item

Land Rover Dog is commanded by Toy Barbara, a successful writer and explorer (modelled after real-life adventurer Barbara Toy - see (visit link) She's been around the world by Land Rover already, and is headed back to Solihull, England for the 60th anniversary of Land Rover in 2008. Dog is a "Matchbox Originals" replica of the original Moko Lesney Land Rover #12A. There are a number of Travel Bugs from Vashon Island, in the guise of teeny Land Rovers- "Able" and "Baker" are already out there somewhere... Someone STOLE "Land Rover Charlie" and the rest of the contents of the Totem Cache in West Seattle, so Toy Barbara is starting out again in a new vehicle!

Back in action again. Sitting next to the river downtown. I put it in a ziploc baggie with a note saying where it wants to go. Hopefully this will help speed up the journey in the correct direction! 🙂

I'm sorry!! No tag on this little bugger so I didn't know he had a mission until I got home. Will put him in another London cache tomorrow. Sorry!
