    Well after 46 months 11,000 miles, and 4 trips coast to coast, Billy Bob is home again. Thanks to all who gave him a ride along the way!

    At last, Billy Bob Racoon has returned home. I must say he picked a gorgeous day to hike through the woods to his soggy abode. The sky was blue and the sun was shining through the trees. He was joined by a lizard and my signature fish (probably not a bad place for a fish as wet as it was in there) and I hope his owner will visit him after these long nearly four years and over 10,000 miles. Perhaps he can set out on a new journey - if you see him be sure and tell him hi for me! Cache on, Billy Bob!
    Grab It (Not from a Cache) 2/3/2007 fishingwishing grabbed it   Visit Log

    Since I'm headed to Seattle in a few weeks, I thought I would help Billy Bob Racoon get home - finally. It's been a long nearly four years and over 10,000 miles, and in a racoon's life thats allot! Now that my daughter is an urban dweller living on Queen Anne Hill, I doubt she sees these little creatures any more, like she did in SoCal when they invaded her college dormatories and scared the students off the balconies! I'll make sure Billy Bob Racoon gets to visit with her awhile - just for old time's sake - before I take him to an appropriate park where he and his owner can be reunited. Thanks, Evil Cow Pie, for rescuing him for me!

    Rescued Billy Bob Racoon today so that he can return to Seattle, Washington. After visiting the nation, he's plumb tuckered out! Will either place him in a busier cache or find someone headed to the Pacific Northwest soon.

    I picked this guy up on my way home (Everett) from Hanford Calif. I hit a few caches on the way back and grabbed Billy Bob Racoon. I had no clue of his mission, just took him home and snapped a few pic's along the way. What a spprise it was to find that his final destanation was to Seattle, wich we passed by already. I think he'll make it to Seattle soon!

    Billy Bob did get in some trouble on the way home. You know them Coon's you cant keen them out of the food. Enjoy the photos...

Ha Ha it was raining..... I know my humor is anything but dry!
    • Boy this little guy can eat! Hey, can you cover his food bill? He ate and drank me out of house and home....

    After visiting NYC, Billy Bob is finally on his way back towards his home. At least most of the way there.
