About This Item

Bounce This Ball

In 2015, my friend Jim Clark passed away at age 79 after a brief battle with cancer. He and I spent many a day together hiking through the woods, chasing geocaches.  Over the course of his caching career, JDLC1936 amassed a whopping  15,156 finds which placed him 8th on the current list of finders of caches in the state of Iowa.  My hope is that this trackable will travel 1 mile for every cache that Jim has found.  Very few travel bugs get more than a few hundred miles on them before they disappear from the game. The first incarnation of this trackable vanished from the game board after accumulating 2329 miles.  There's still more to go!  I hope version 2 will fare better.

Once the mission is accomplished, it would be great to see this trackable come back to me.  Any cache in Jackson county or Dubuque county Iowa would be great.  If it gets back here, I'll find it, retire it from the game and display it with a few other bits of memorabilia.

Thinking of and missing, my friend Jim.
