Current Goal

I am Grote Smurf. (That's Papa Smurf in Flemish for those of you who know me in English.)

My goal is to return to my homeland of Belgium.

I'm in a race with other members of my family -- four other TB's were released at the same time as me:

Clumsy Smurf - He reached Belgium first! He is currently in hands of our owner and waiting for a new goal.

Le Grand Schtroumpf - My twin

La Schtroumpfette

Smurfin 

Our owners released us in northern Arizona at the same time. 

Please help me return to Belgium. It would be wonderful (but is not vital) if I could return to Brussels.

 

About This Item

image

~~The Smurfs (French: Les Schtroumpfs, Flemish: De Smurfen) is a Belgian comic and television franchise centered on a fictional colony of small blue creatures that live in mushroom-shaped houses in the forest. The Smurfs were first created and introduced as a series of comic characters by the Belgian comics artist Peyo (pen name of Pierre Culliford) in 1958. The word “Smurf” is the original Flemish translation of the French "Schtroumpf", which, according to Peyo, is a word invented during a meal with fellow cartoonist André Franquin, when he could not remember the word salt. There are more than one hundred Smurfs, whose names are based on adjectives that emphasize their characteristics, e.g. "Jokey Smurf", who likes to play practical jokes on his fellow smurfs, "Clumsy Smurf", who has a habit of creating havoc unintentionally, and "Smurfette"—the first female Smurf to be introduced in the series. The Smurfs wear Phrygian caps, which represented freedom in Roman times.

CONFESIÓN: PAPA PITUFO abandona Bruselas por error. Llegamos a Bruselas desde España, y fue nuestro primer caché en el país, y nos hizo muchísima ilusión que además tuviera TB, y por miedo a ser descubiertos por muggles, lo cogimos rápidamente y lo guardamos. Ya de vuelta al hotel pudimos leer el objetivo: ¡Llegar a Bruselas, en una carrera con sus familiares! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Pero ya era demasiado tarde y fue imposible volver a dejarlo en el país.. no tuvimos ninguna ocasión. I'm so sorry!! Así que nos lo hemos traído a Barcelona (España) e intentaremos dejarlo en un caché seguro para que otro geocacher viajero lo vuelva a llevar a Bélgica 🙏🏼 Así que, podemos decir que Papa Pitufo llegó segundo a su país natal?? .... pero quiso hacer turismo e ir a la playa al sol del Mediterráneo 😜.
BEKENTENIS: Grote Smurf verlaat Brussel per ongeluk. We kwamen vanuit Spanje in Brussel aan en het was onze eerste cache in het land. We waren dolblij dat hij ook tuberculose had, en uit angst om door Dreuzels ontdekt te worden, pakten we hem snel en legden hem weg. Terug in het hotel konden we de opdracht lezen: Brussel bereiken, in een race met zijn familie! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Maar het was te laat en het was onmogelijk om hem in het land achter te laten... we kregen geen kans. I'm so sorry!! Dus brachten we hem terug naar Barcelona (Spanje) en zullen proberen hem in een veilige cache achter te laten, zodat een andere reizende geocacher hem terug naar België kan brengen 🙏🏼 Dus, kunnen we zeggen dat Grote Smurf als tweede in zijn thuisland arriveerde? ...maar hij wilde wat sightseeing doen en naar het strand in de mediterrane zon 😜.
CONFESSION : Le Grand Schtroumpf quitte Bruxelles par erreur. Nous sommes arrivés à Bruxelles depuis l'Espagne, et c'était notre première cache dans le pays. Nous étions ravis qu'il soit également atteint de tuberculose, et par peur d'être découverts par des Moldus, nous l'avons rapidement récupéré et rangé. De retour à l'hôtel, nous avons pu lire l'objectif : atteindre Bruxelles, en faisant la course avec sa famille ! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Mais c'était trop tard, et impossible de le laisser au pays… nous n'en avons pas eu l'occasion. I'm so sorry!! Nous l'avons donc ramené à Barcelone (Espagne) et allons essayer de le laisser dans une cache sécurisée pour qu'un autre géocacheur itinérant puisse le ramener en Belgique 🙏🏼 Alors, peut-on dire que le Grand Schtroumpf est arrivé deuxième dans son pays d'origine ? …mais il voulait faire un peu de tourisme et aller à la plage sous le soleil méditerranéen 😜.

I discovered this TB, coin, or stamp at GeoWoodstock Giga or the surrounding area. The weather was great, and I'm sure we all had a great time there. Thanks for sharing, and have a safe trip! :) Greetings from Bracht am Niederrhein:):):)
