Current Goal

 
  This TB is racing some friends, to see who can gather the most points, beginning on March 24, 2012 at Spring Slingshot Event 2012 (GC3CA47)  and ending one year later.  Please help me beat them by adhering to the rules below and moving it along as far and as quick as possible.  Mainly, I just want to beat my super-competitive husband (the other half of JuneandJohnny).   So, here's the guidelines:

  • Dipping is not allowed. TB must be picked up and dropped from one cache to another.
  • 1 point awarded for each Traditional Cache the TB is dropped in.
  • 2 points awarded for each Multi Cache the TB is dropped in.
  • 3 points awarded for each Unknown Cache the TB is dropped in.
     
  • 1 point for every full star difficulty rating of any cache that TB is dropped in.
  • 1 point for every full star terrain rating of any cache that TB is dropped in.

     
  • 5 points for photo taken with cacher (EaSy PoiNtS!)
  • 1 point for every 10 miles traveled from cache to cache.
  • 2 points for each new state the TB visits.
  • 10 points for each new country the TB visits.

About This Item

100_5458

A 2 inch pin with a picture of Johnny and June (with flowers in her hair and wearing her favorite color, "June Blue") on their wedding day, March 1, 1968.


SPECIAL CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY:
  1. In the month of April 2012, get me to Massachusetts in a hurry for a bonus 70 POINTS!!!
  2. During May 2012 I need to cross the border into Mexico for 55 POINTS!! Take my picture in Mexico for 10 POINTS....and put on a sombrero in the pic to get 15 POINTS!  C'mon, Mexico is so nice in May, don't you think?
  3. For June 2012 we will remember the infamous Hatfield-McCoy feud of the West Virginia/Kentucky area. Move on back close to home (Lincoln County, WV for juneandjohnny), to anywhere in Logan County, WV (where Hatfield patriarch Devil Anse is buried) for 81 POINTS (Hatfield's age at the time of his death). If you choose to align with those McCoy scoundrels you can get 89 points for dropping into Pike County, KY (age and burial place of McCoy leader, Ole Ran'l). Now what're ya waitin' on?!! Git to it!
  4. EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! If you pick me up during the month of August 2012, whatever you do, DO NOT DROP me into another cache!  Those tricky race officials have made this month's challenge an awful one.  So, go against your best-caching instincts and hang onto me until September 1, 2012....you can do it....I believe in you.  If you resist the urge, I will garner 88 points.  Be strong and HaPpY CaChiNg!

Dropped Off 8/15/2014 Atomic Falcon placed it in Fulton Overlook Cache Missouri - 21.13 miles  Visit Log

I dropped this one off in Fulton, Missouri. In 1946, U.S. President Harry Truman invited British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to America to speak. On that invite, Churchill came to Fulton and gave a speech on the growing concern of how our World War II allies the Soviets were a growing communism menace. This speech, called Sinews of Peace, popularized the term the "Iron Curtain", and defined the beginning of the Cold War. Today, the Berlin Wall has fallen and the Cold War is over. As a remembrance, three pieces of the Berlin Wall are on display in the world, one in Berlin, Germany, one in New York City, and the final in Fulton, Missouri. This 30' long section of the wall is on public display, outdoors, on the grounds of Westminster University in Fulton.
Retrieve It from a Cache 6/8/2014 Atomic Falcon retrieved it from Mexico TB/Geocoin Hotel Missouri   Visit Log

I got this trackable from a cache in the small city of Mexico, Missouri, USA. Mexico is where the Miss Missouri pageant is held each year to determine who will represent Missouri in the Miss America pageant. Mexico, hometown of Missouri governor and U.S. Senator Kit Bond, was so named according to a 1962 story in the St. Louis Post Dispatch because "The first settlers found a wooden sign along the trail. It pointed southwest, and on it had been painted Mexico. To avoid unnecessary labor, the sign was left in place. It was easier to call their town 'Mexico' than to take down the old sign."
