Current Goal

This trackable has the goal to circulate more than five years and to be moved by more than 25 cachers. That is a rate of five drops per year for five years, or a drop every 73 days.  As of 15-Mar-21 it had survived for 5.8 years and had been moved by 19 cachers, for an average release every 112 days.

No permission is needed to leave the U.S.  While in the U.S., please drop it in a Premium Member only OR a rural cache near a busy trail or road. Do not place it in an urban cache or abandon it at a caching event where there is no security.  Transport the bug in the original plastic bag for as long as the bag lasts; the bag keeps the trackable clean, protects the number and prevents tangling with other items.  Otherwise, take the trackable anywhere you wish.

About This Item

brownflintdonut2

This is one of a series of large beads obtained from different places and converted into travel bugs.  They are named for Texas towns with interesting names or histories.

Whon is in southeastern Coleman County.  The road to the town was only paved in 1967.  In 1903 Mrs. Sam McCain, the postmistress, thought it would be nice to name the Post Office after a Mexican cowboy, Juan, who worked on the McCain ranch.   It was a nice gesture, misspelling aside.
