About This Item

The GPS Bug

The GPS travel bug has a short and tragic history. After 12 years of flying and 24 years of hiking I had never owned a GPS. Then my sister told me about geocaching.

The next week I bought a Camo GPS on ebay for $85, and after receiving it took my two kids to find three caches in an afternoon; they loved it.

OK, so why am I using a GPS for a travel bug? Well I don't think leaving it on the truck rail hurt it, and I don't think it broke when it fell off the truck rail and hit the street, but it clearly wasn't working after a car drove over it.

So why Schwabach, Germany? Schwabach its a great little Bavarian town with a traditional town square and city park. You should see it sometime. I have relatives in the area and hope to visit them shortly after the bug arrives. PLease keep the GPS bug in the area of Nurnberg. Vielen dank.
