About This Item

John & his Wolverine...

This is a very special, and very important travel bug! Attached to the travel bug tag is a Wolverine action figure that belonged to a very good friend of mine. His name was John and he passed away October 16th, 2008. John loved life and loved nature. He always appreciated it’s beauty. When John passed I was able to have one of his Wolverine action figures (he was very into comic books). While I appreciate it sitting on display in my home, I woke up one day with the fantastic idea of making it a travel bug! Because John left this world at only 27 years old, there is a lot he was unable to see. That’s where you come in! I would love to have John see all the beauty this country has to offer through his Wolverine action figure. So, with that in mind the mission for this travel bug is this: I would love for “Johnny’s Wolverine” to make it’s way to the west coast stopping at all the amazing places on the way. The famous ones would be awesome - like Mt Rushmore, The Grand Canyon etc. But all the lesser known little hidden treasures in between are great too!! PLEASE TAKE PICTURES!! It may be a long shot but after he make’s his way to the west coast, I would really like “Johnny’s Wolverine” to make his way back to the cache closest to my home (“You Tell Me...” located at  N 42° 14.524 W 072° 52.288 in Huntington, MA 01050). If he makes his way home I plan on printing a book of his travels with all the photos and everything in it. It would be something I would treasure for a life time and LOVE to share with all his friends and family. The best place I can think of for “Johnny’s Wolverine” to start his new adventure is where my friend John ended his last. His most favourite place to visit in Western MA was a place called Bash Bish Falls. It is at this very place where his ashes were spread almost 4 years ago and he has rested since, so this is where “Johnny’s Wolverine” will begin - at the “Bash Bish Falls” Geocache located at N 42° 06.968 W 073° 29.613. Take good care of him, and hopefully he’ll find his way home.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 4/23/2014 DryFlyRy grabbed it   Visit Log

So it's been a year and nobody has logged anything for this trackable, which is a major bummer. I was going to just give up but then I had an idea... Luckily, Johny's Wolverine has a twin that was given to me when my friend John passed away (yes, I had 2!)! So what I am going to do is log that I have found it, and let the new Wolverine continue the journey... There is a catch however. I am not releasing this replacement back out into the wild, he will stay with me and join me at every cache. I will log all my visits with him. While Johny's wolverine won't be completing the original mission (Or will he?), I think this is a better option than just giving up and ending the journey. I'm at 99 cache's found right now, and will be doing my 100th on Thursday 4-24-14. I think this will be the perfect time to start this new adventure. Thank you to everyone who did participate and move the original wolverine along, I truly appreciate it. And if the original wolverine does turn up, please contact me and we'll figure out what happens next.

It's been almost a year with no activity... I think Johnny's Wolverine is officially lost. This makes me sad. :(
