Current Goal

To win the SLAGA.org 2015 Travel Bug race - and along the way, visit or stay in caches with names that involve goodbyes, dad, rootbeer, or the numbers 4 or 73.

About This Item

My dad was a Ham radio operator - WA4ANW (he always told people, "ANW, like the root beer.")  "73s" in Ham lingo means, "Goodbye."  I had to say that to Dad in 2012 and miss him quite a bit.  He was a muggle, but he went with me on some caching adventures.  When I saw this geocoin at the wooden nickel booth at Geowoodstock XIV, I had to have it.  Finally time for me to send it out and say 73 to it.  If you pick it up, please don't wait for the perfect cache to put it in.  If you come to a cache that is large enough, just leave it there.

"The Griff" showed me this cool wooden nickle trackable at the Geocaching 201 class. Thanks, Monk-E Arms, for releasing this into the wild. I had to say 73 to my dad a while back, so I can relate. I miss my dad too. This is a nice memory to share with others.
