About This Sponsored Trackable:
Helping millions of people save money with GEICO's great insurance rates can be a demanding job for a Gecko. Like many of us, the GEICO Gecko is ready to get out of the office and soak up some sun while experiencing spectacular places around the world (well, rain or shine). You can help the Gecko get a little R&R by aiding his travel from cache to cache. Be sure to show him the great views along the way!

This trackable Gecko is provided by GEICO as part of the "Find the Gecko Sweepstakes." Simply fill out the entry form and you could win a Magellan eXplorist GC GPS unit, one of the most popular GPS devices for geocaching! There will be one unit given away each week for 20 weeks. Enter each week to increase your chances!

This is not collectible.

About This Item

While unemployed in parts of 2007-2009 I worked some marketing events for GEICO and occasionally got to dress up as the Gecko himself!  I met the producer for the commercials at an event I was working in Lake George, NY and he informed me that the Gecko's real name is actually Gary.  Take Gary to new places, let him hang out with his amphibious friends, and if you have any fun catch phrases or pictures, post them to your log!

    What's that Burd? Captain Hook took a hostage?

    SQUAWK!

    What's that Burd? Brian TB squeeled like a little girl under torture and gave up Gecko Gary's hiding spot?

    SQUAWK!

    What's that Burd? Captain Hook took Gecko Gary to Neverland where the clocks never run and time never ages. Gecko Gary is in limbo forever never to rack up any mileage?

    SQUAWK!
