About This Item

Traveling Sam

This hat has been a part of our family July 4th holiday parties for many years. It faithfully made the annual trek from Arizona to North Carolina until it was launched as a travel bug on June 3, 2006. Now we hope that it will continue to collect good memories across the world.

YES! 15 years later this travel bug is resurfacing. It lost its attached wearable hat in 2007, but we held onto the tag. Now we have found an "Uncle Sam" hat pendant that will replace the wearable hat. We will soon put this trackable back in circulation.

Must correct previous log. We found this tag, without its travel bug, in GCR5MM - Disneybackville Cuddeworld Cache, NOT in "Scooby Doo Where Are You." Not that it makes any difference. It is still a dogtag without a travel bug. Alas.

We found this TB dogtag in the "Scooby Doo Where Are You" geocache, but there was nothing attached to the dogtag. Brought it home to discover the missing item was Sam's Hat. Now what? If anyone can track down the hat, we will hold onto this and send it wherever you wish.

PU today. The hat was kind of stinky and dirty. Hopefully you don't mind, but we washed it. It is very clean and fresh smelling now :-) Will relocate to New York. Thanks for sharing a family treasure. - Madmanx - Wilmington, NC.
