Current Goal

This TB has been ARCHIVED. Please properly dispose of any Chickens you may have found. The preferred method is on the Grill but if you must an old fashion Circular File will work. Oh, and does anyone know where I can get a supply of Purple Hippos?

Well, it appears that the chicken was scattered far and wide by the Florida Hurricanes of 2004, and the cache he was in is probably somewhere out in the Gulf of Mexico by now, It seems this chicken just doesn't know how to stay out of trouble.

Please help this careless Chicken along to other places (like Northwest Ohio) and hopefully out of trouble. Should you find him en route to Northwest Ohio be watchful of his actions and should you find his lonely original metal tag anywhere without his chickeness please let me know so I can arrange for them to get back together.

About This Item

Vikings Escape TB (an official AS Travel Bug) ... Our favorite Chicken from the Groundspeak Forums has managed to escape from the Vikings, depriving them of a grand feast.  It appears that the Vikings got a little bit tipsy from too much Grog and he simply slipped away leaving his garter and feathers behind. 

This was not the first time since it is now known that this careless plucked bird has a habit of getting into trouble and getting out. Witnesses say that as the Chicken ran off he was saying something about Northwest Ohio and some Chicks up that way. One can only imagine what he may have been talking about.

Well, it seems that our hapless chicken got a little bit lost on his way to Ohio and ended up in northwestern Florida just in time for hurricane season (and Chicken Day). I took pity on the guy, gave him a place to stay for a while, and even took him to work with me to the local PBS station.

Unfortunately, the chicken got caught goofing off in the tape room, and the boss put him to work answering phones for our pledge drive. He did okay there for a while, but got bored while on break and wandered into one of the control rooms where he started pushing buttons he shouldn't have. The boss didn't take this very well at all, and called him into his office for a very short conversation.

Figuring he'd better get out of town before the boss got as hungry as those vikings, he checked into the Geocaching website and found a cache or two that look like they'll get him headed in the right direction.

Here's hoping that our friend gets to where he's going...eventually.

  • Goofing off, watching TV
  • Aswering phones for pledge
  • No!!!  Don't push that button!
  • Oops...
  • That meeting didn't go very well.
  • Which way to Ohio?
