The story as submitted to Groundspeak Headquarters:

My friend Eskoclimber, retrieved this lug-gable TB from a recent event cache. His devious mind says, "Ah I know just the place for this @ Jeepers_Creepers (me)" 😈 So, early in the morning, and I mean early, he stealthily places this in my wife's gardens while the two of us were asleep. When I get up and head out on my usual hike/bike in the morning for a cache I see nothing, because I always back my car into the garage at night. So, while I'm out in the field I get a cell call from Peepers2 (my wife), saying "What is this geocache thing in my garden?" Innocently, I respond, "What are you talking about? Why don't you describe it to me?" Peepers2 says, "You didn't put this here? Well you'll see it soon enough, goodbye!" I say, "Scott, must have been up to something, hummm..." Boy was he. I'll be bring this to a local event soon.

I first seen this while looking for my lost dog...but since I was trying to find my dog and get to work on time, didn't note the TB numbers. A few days later, I queried the property owner as to whether I was seeing strange things that morning and found out it was an actual travel bug. I tried a second time to spot it, and it was MIA...tricky little, big bugger. Finally tonight, I heard a rumor that the bug was making another appearance. I'm thinking all the rain on the weekend brought it out of it's hidey hole. So, I walked the 2 blocks up from my house to snap a picture to get the numbers. TFTB!!

Discovered this in the "arms" of Jeepers_Creepers. - Nipper2

When I saw this at the event I thought it was a bill board for selling trackable tags. Took me a bit to realize this was the TB! For sure it's the largest tag I've seen.

spotted this big tb at the oxbow campground this weekend
