Current Goal

To reverse the journey which our Wheaten terrier, Kobe, theoretically took from Wilmette, Illinois USA (where he lives) to Iowa, USA, (where he was born) and then back to his ancestral home, Ireland. Once there, he hopes to take a look around and then head back to one of Hutt's caches north of Chicago Illinois, USA.

About This Item

This little travel bug, like Kobe our Wheaten, likes to be with people on the move. He turn's 1 year old on November 5, 2003 and npw resides in Wilmette Illinois. We thought it'd be fun to backtrack to the state he was born, Iowa, USA and then go back to Ireland, where the breed originated. Once in Ireland we're told they probably were from counties Limmerick or Cork. Thereafter, we hope he heads home to the US!
Please help us with this journey and remember, Wheaties are very active dogs which like to move around and cover a lot of territory!

Found this odd to be only a TB Tag with nothing attached,am I missing something? or is something missing? You never quite know for sure, one of my caches turned up having all contents removed with container replaced as hidden. Let me know if I should find some type of Dog to attach this tag to before I rerelease it. Team Kilroy

We moved it a little east, towards Chicago O'Hare (and Ireland), and we took a photo somewhat near its temporary quarters. You can see the rest area buildings in the background.

Now that it has visited Iowa pretty extensively, I don't know how to get it to its final destination any better than the last person, but I figure it needs to go toward a major airport. Therefore, I will be sending it east, in the general direction of Chicago O'Hare.

Picked up this TB But I'm not sure how to get him to where he is going. I'll move him along to the city. Maybe some one can help him get a flight.
