About This Item

Ferdinand and Smokey

I love finding trackables in caches. So, it has become my habit to launch ten new trackables into the wild each spring. In 2009, I launched ten gold ingots each heading to a different college. In 2010, I launched ten little turtles to visit each county in Oregon. In 2011, I launched ten unicorns each heading to one of the world’s most romantic cities.
 
In 2012, I am launching ten compass roses to visit each continent of the world. They are each named for a famous explorer: (1) Christopher Columbus, (2) Ferdinand Magellan, (3) Hernan Cortez, (4) Jacques Cousteau, (5) James Cook, (6) Leif Ericson, (7) Marco Polo, (8) Meriwether Lewis, (9) Neil Armstrong and (10) Vasco De Gamma.

Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese explorer. He served King Charles I of Spain in search of a westward route to the "Spice Islands" (modern Indonesia).  Magellan's expedition of 1519–1522 became the first to sail from the Atlantic into the Pacific.  He did this by sailing around the southern tip of South America.  This expedition was also the first to cross the Pacific. It was also the first complete circumnavigation of the Earth, although Magellan himself was killed in the Philippines before completing the voyage.
