Current Goal

My mission is to get back to where I came from. My owner started a cache in Japan called "Under the Gun", and it is my quest to make it back there one day. I will go anywhere and do anything, just keep me moving and leave pictures to document my trip.

About This Item

Sakana the TB

The fish is a famous toy found in Hitayoshi Japan. They make all kinds of wooden items there with the bright colored paint. They are typically given in twos now. One is bigger than the other. The bigger is given to the father and the smaller one is given to the oldest son. It is thought to bring good luck.

Sorry Sakana, Mother Nature decided it was her day too, and she wanted it to RAIN and RAIN. Happy Mother's Day! You didn't get to get out today, but we have a big trip planned next week and you will get to see more of this country.

Found this while on vacation in Napa. Sakana is now in the Reno, NV area and will be placed soon...hopefully in a place where tourists might go so we can give them luck and have a better chance of this bug getting some more miles on.

What a cache! The gardens in the area were ABSOLUTELY beautiful. We picked up Sakana Travel Bug. We took him over to the Japanese Tea Gardens. Even if he doesn't make it back to Japan quite yet, at least he can get a little taste of home.

PS Sakana had fun in the tea gardens!

  • Mudcats take Sakana to Japanese Tea Gardens
  • Where's Sakana?(Sakana plays hide & seek)

WE found this today in Ghost Road. We will take it with us to Indianapolis, show it the Speedway and the Capitol of Indiana. Then Sakana can jet off with us to San Francisco and we will drop him off in Napa, after we take him to a few wineries. we will log our adventure after we arrive.
