About This Item

Dont tread on mepaint

You found it. Yes thats right you tread on me and the snake can bite you. That is Bite the Government

The timber rattlesnake and eastern diamondback rattlesnake both populate the geographical areas of the original thirteen colonies. Their use as a symbol of the American colonies can be traced back to the publications of Benjamin Franklin. In 1751, he made the first reference to the rattlesnake in a satirical commentary published in his Pennsylvania Gazette. It had been the policy of Britain to send convicted criminals to America, so Franklin suggested that they thank the British by sending rattlesnakes to England.[1]

Benjamin Franklin's "Join, or Die" cartoon

In 1754, during the French and Indian War, Franklin published his famous woodcut of a snake cut into eight sections. It represented the colonies, with New England joined together as the head and South Carolina as the tail, following their order along the coast. Under the snake was the message "Join, or Die". This was the first political cartoon published in an American newspaper.

When American colonies came to identify more with their own community and liberty than as vassals of the British empire, icons that were unique to the Americas became increasingly popular. The rattlesnake, like the bald eagle and American Indian, came to symbolize American ideals and society.[2][3]

As the American Revolution grew, the snake began to see more use as a symbol of the colonies. In 1774, Paul Revere added it to the title of his paper, the Massachusetts Spy, as a snake joined to fight a British dragon.[4] In December 1775, Benjamin Franklin published an essay in the Pennsylvania Journal under the pseudonym American Guesser in which he suggested that the rattlesnake was a good symbol for the American spirit:

Discovered It 5/3/2025 T.-Dreckspatzen discovered it Niedersachsen, Germany   Visit Log

In den letzten Monaten haben wir auf unseren Geocaching Abenteuern u.a. wieder einige Caches, Events, CITOs, CCEs und Blockpartys sowie ein Giga Event und eine GPS MAZE besucht.
Auf solchen erlebnisreichen Touren schnappt man hier und da immer einiges an discoverbaren Codes auf - entweder als physischen Teil, in Logbüchern und-/oder Onlinelogs, an Cachemobilen, sämtlichen Kleiderstücken, Tattoos und was die Dosenverrückten 😉 sich eben noch so alles einfallen lassen.
Wir sammeln diese immer erst eine ganze Weile lang, bis sich irgendwann die Zeit findet, diese alle mal zu discovern.

Wir möchten uns vorab schonmal für den Einheitslog entschuldigen und vor allem aber auch dafür, falls Dieser Code (woher auch immer) irgendwie dazwischen gerutscht ist obwohl er vielleicht schon längst verschollen zu sein scheint oder aber auch einfach nicht mehr aktiv ist bzw. das Heimische Wohnzimmer nie verlassen hat.
Das kommt ja leider immer mal vor und ist schwierig zu kontrollieren.
Sollte dieser Trackingcode also unrechtmäßig discovert worden sein, so haben wir absolut nichts dagegen, wenn du ihn einfach stumm löschst.🙂

Ansonsten bedanken wir uns recht Herzlich für´s zeigen deines Reisenden und wünschen dir und deiner Familie allzeit schöne Cacheabenteuer!🙂
