About This Item

THE PATRIOT

This is a COPY of a previously released Travel Bug that was lost.

Previous mission:

To race fellow TBs to La Luz, NM before Jerry from JT3Halls gets there.
To be placed in TB - REFUGE.


The original listing is posted below:

THE PATRIOT has the following goals:
1) Visit MT Rushmore
2) Visit Washington, DC and see the following memorials:
Washington Monument
Lincoln Monument
Korean War Memorial
Vietnam War (The Wall) Memorial
3) Visit Ground Zero in NYC
5) Visit Arlington Cemetery and the Pentagon
4) Pictures with any military service members, policemen, and fire fighters as possible

 

It was a race! And I won!
Yes, THE PATRIOT competed against 6 other bugs to go the greatest distance, collect the most pics, or be transferred to the most hands between May 1 - October 1, 2006 and ran away with the competition.
With a final distance traveled of 3679.8 miles, THE PATRIOT became the First Champions of The Travel Bug Expeditionary Force through MAGC.

This competition was between members of the Military Association of Geocachers (MAGC).

For winning the 2006 MAGC Bug Challenge, THE PATRIOT was awarded the following prizes:
Prize Geocacher University Geocoin (TBXH4D)
Prize MAGC Geocoin (TB18BZ8)

Visit MAGC Bug Challenge for more information.

THE PATRIOT was a small token of appreciation that Jerry from TEAM HALL-JTSJT received for his service to the United States Army during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.

G'Day My Fellow Geocacher,

I’m DARKSIDEDAN aka Daniel from Canberra, Australia and I have had the pleasure of finding your Trackable Item during my travels as a Geocacher. I have added this trackable to my growing list of discovered items.

I love discovering Geocaches, Trackable items and collecting Pathtags. I hope that you enjoy Geocaching as much as I do. For me geocaching is a way of life. When I am not Geocaching, I am thinking of Geocaching. I would like to say a very big thank you for releasing your trackable for the Geocaching Community.

Here is a little information about me. I have been geocaching since 2015. At the time of finding this cache I have over 5600 finds plus 340 hides. I am the creator of the “Duck Dip” Lab Cache that won 2nd Place for the Australian Capital Territory in the State Vs State - Battle of the Lab Caches at the OzGeoMuster - The Gong Mega 2019 in Wollongong, Australia.

Now let’s talk Pathtags. Currently I have over 4600 Pathtags in my collection plus about 500 Etagz. I currently have two of my own Pathtags (45762 & 46950) with another one in the works. In 2019, I won the right to place a Virtual 2.0 Cache from Geocaching.com, but I have not placed it yet. I am just trying to find somewhere that is worthy of a Virtual Cache.

Here is an Original and One of a Kind, Geocaching Poem that I have written. I hope that everyone who reads it gets some enjoyment out of it.

Geocache Poem by DARKSIDEDAN

My endless search goes on and on
Looking for treasures of every kind
Always chasing just one more find
Putting past DNF’s out of my mind
I step out into the world outside,
Seeking what is hidden from me
What size, shape or form will it be?
Only time will tell, I can’t wait to see
Will I find my prize at the end?
I will search in the failing light and cold
Filling with despair having looked everywhere
Where is this thing that gives my life pleasure?
Looking all around from every angle
I read the logs and check the hint
I curse out loud as I walk in circles
Screaming the bloody thing it not there
As time flies by and I fail to see,
Never once stopping to realize
It always been there before my eyes
No need for sorrow, there’s the Geocache.
