As regards a goal, have fun and how about a field in Innsbruck, Austria, where it all started.
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
"In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Hitchhiker's Guide has already supplanted the great Encyclopedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least widely inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects.
First, it is slightly cheaper; and second, it has the words DON'T PANIC inscribed in large friendly letters on the cover." - Douglas Adams (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)
The first book in author Douglas Adams five book trilogy. Douglas Adams sadly passed away this year. The novels became the inspiration for the h2g2 website. h2g2 is an unconventional guide to life, the universe and everything.
If you haven't read this, try it, its fun. If you have you will probably want to read it again, I did. Any ways read it / pass it on.
I picked up this worn copy of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy in the Whale Poop Isle cache in September 2001 in California, where I attached the travel bug. This cache started life as the Otay Wakes geocache where according to the logs the guide was dropped off by Jane8276. If you know any more of its history drop me an email and I'll update the story.
Have fun and always remember where your towel is: - Zcat

TL;DR: We don't have the trackable (and feel sorry for you if it means it is still missing), but stumbled upon its discovery code.
The story: I discovered this trackable/coin when I cracked the cache "Msportis Coinlihaus der 2." and then was able to reverse-engineer some Coins/TBs of the owner Msporti as well. By pure chance / luck while testing out possibilities for this I also came across this TB/coin. We hope that it's okay that we discover it, if not, feel free to delete this log. TFTC/TFTT 😉

The guide was left in the Long''s Peak cache so that someone can enjoy the light reading as much as I did.

I am most curious about the book that goes with this hitchhiker. I will certainly inform the placer of this traveller about this wacky, loony and zany book according to the LA Herald Examiner.
Thanks for now,
Pelican
