Current Goal

The 'Keystone Elk Country Alliance' Travel Bug's mission (and the mission of my other Travel Bug 'I Love Elk Country') is to visit places that have anything to do with elk.  Maybe it's a town that has an elk herd, like Benezette, PA. Maybe the name of the town has the word 'elk' in it like the starting location of this Travel Bug, Elkton, Maryland.  Maybe stops over at a zoo and is photographed with the elk.  We would love to see photos of the Travel Bug in and around elk themed places. The possibilities are endless.Be creative and most importantly, HAVE FUN!  

Elk rarely stay in one place too long, and neither should this travel bug- please keep it moving.[|)] 

About This Item

Keystone Elk Country Alliance Travel Bug

This Travel Bug is a wooden nickel that I bought at the Elk Country Visitor Center in Benezette, PA.  Before my recent trip to Benezette, I had never seen an elk in the wild.  It was a very cool experience to see them living peacefully in the PA hills.  If you have the chance, stop by the Visitor Center.  It's one of the nicest visitor centers I've ever explored.  Well designed, well constructed and very educational.  http://www.experienceelkcountry.com/vc.html

I am an Outdoor Educator in Maryland and will be using this Travel Bug (and 'I Love Elk Country') to teach my students about geocaching, map skills, math, social studies and more! Help us learn by quickly moving this wooden nickel to it's next location.

Many, many thanks to everyone who has moved this TB around our lovely country! I teach geocaching at an Outdoor Ed residential experience for public school students. Every single day I introduce 25-30 new geocachers to our sport. I use this TB to show them how something I put out there can 'be free to move about the country'!
I can't begin to express how thankful I am to everyone who has shared in our journey! 🙂
