To visit each continent of the world: (1) Africa, (2) Antarctica, (3) Asia, (4) Australia, (5) Europe, (6) North America & (7) South America. Do not hesitate to move this trackable to another cache even if it isn’t closer to a new continent. You never know where the trackable will meet someone preparing to leave on vacation. Likewise, do not hesitate to bring this trackable back the United States where it may find someone heading to a new continent. Upon completion of this mission, this trackable will be available for adoption. Please contact the owner.
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.
Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer, one of the most successful in the Age of Discovery and the commander of the first ships to sail directly from Europe to India. His route took him around the southern tip of Africa.
