HELLO. MY NAME IS "ALLEY-OOP".
"My mission is to travel to Australia and back home again".
This bug is a product of my Dad's ingenuity. My Dad passed away in March of 2014 and was a man who invented many products for the motorcycle manufacturing industry. He was 85. One of the products was a spark plug and wrench holder, that attached to the frame of the dirt or street bike. (I remember mass producing these, back in the 70's!) The pototype spark plug holder has BN Supply on the head because that was my Dads' brother's (Bill Nugent) business. After they were molded by BN Supply, they were brought back to the shop where we would stamp Dad's name on them, bore them out for the plugs and bolt, and finish assembling the product. His business was called Modesett Engineering and Manufacturing and was based in Southern California. There were many times I used this product, stuck out in the middle of the desert!! Dad was given the nickname "Alley-Oop" early in his life and it just stuck with him.
The only thing on my Dad's bucket list that was not accomplished before his death, was to travel to Australia. I have infused some of my Dad's ashes inside the unit and welded it shut. It is impossible to take the plugs out, so please don't try to; they will be no use to you. The unit is TOTALLY AND PERMANENTLY SEALED!
"Send me off to Australia and bring me back home again, so I can tell all the stories to my family"...Norman Lee Modesett

This is a sad day...looks like someone vandalized the last cache my "dad" was in. :( The last known holder of the trackable tells me it is gone...along with the cache container. Hopefully, prayerfully, the vandal will return "my dad" and he can continue his journey to Australia.
If, by chance, he IS in the hands of a fellow cacher, please PLEASE please let me know and send him on his way quickly. TY Keep on caching!!

My cousin Voodzick passed this TB to me in Page, AZ when he found out we were moving to Italy. So Alley-Oop jumped in a box and flew across the Atlantic...

I am a worried that our trackable may have lost his way. If anyone knows where "Alley-Oop" is, could you please notify us or let the person know who has it to pass it on. Thank you. Happy Caching!!
