About This Item

I take my name from a song that has also been used by a minor league baseball team in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA.
I am an Arkansas Wood Tick. I am made of wood and I am used in a game to remind outdoors people, like Geocachers, to check for the real thing. In the game whoever has me as a hitch-hiker is to “sneak” me aboard another unsuspecting host. At a random time a leader calls "Tick Check" and whoever has me on board is obliged to perform an “interesting” stunt, song, or reading. The game then continues. It can be minutes between tick checks, but hours are more common.

Won’t you please (knowingly) help me along my travels?

    Found the TB in Cement Ridge Cache. Near as I can figure Ketch4 must have moved it. Anyway I will find it a nice new home.

    Picked up the Arkansas Traveler TB from my cache, Mozart's Cache. For some reason it was not logged in. I am headed on a two week motorcycle trip tomorrow and will drop him/her off at a distant cache. :)

    A friend of mine who is new to geocaching is the one who found this bug... he has been having some difficulty with validating his geocaching account so was unable to log it. He rehid the bug in Mozart's cache in Hamden Mass.
