The Silver Bullet Trackable

When Wally Byam built the first Airstream in 1929, it was to “stir the venturesome spirit,” and “open up a whole world of new experiences.” That’s still Airstream’s creed today—and we hope to spread the spirit of adventure through Airstream’s Find & Go geocaching promotion and Silver Bullet trackable tags.

You can help. Find a Silver Bullet trackable and log it. Go somewhere amazing with it. Share your experience with Airstream’s Facebook page. Place the Silver Bullet in another geocache for the next person to find.They will do the same thing and so on and so on. Before you know it the Silver Bullet will have traversed the country, bringing Wally Byam’s legacy of freedom and discovery with it.

Photo Contest: Upload photos of the Silver Bullet trackable to the Airstream Facebook page for chances to win prizes.

Current Goal

To travel from cache to cache, country to country, in honour of my friend, Fleta, who lost her fight with cancer at way too young an age.

About This Item

Matilda's Proxy

Fleta Cummings was a friend and coworker for 25 years. Single mom, amazing seamstress, crafter, and handywoman. She purchased a sad little Caravan, and completely restored it. While I knew her, she traveled very little, saving for her son's post secondary education, which didn't get used, and her retirement, similarly not used.

I'd like this to travel far and wide. Please post pictures of your adventures. Live mas, stay rivited.

I never saw Matilda, but I enjoyed that Fleta was so proud of her creation. It will always be sad to me that she was not able to actually use it much for touring and exploring. I like this way of honoring her with the Airstream Travel Tag.
