PATIENT # 233 - COLTON

Goal: Travel from cache to cache in search of BRAAAAINS.  Visit Geocaching events.  Spread the plague.  Please take photos!

Meet Colton, patient # 233 in on our ongoing study of the spread of the zombie plague via geocaching.   Colton lived in Seattle and was the editor of a magazine about mattresses.  Colton spent his days writing riveting articles about the pros and cons of soft versus firm, foam versus memory top.  The ever looming printing deadlines were very stressful to Colton.  To de-stress he often found himself getting fish pedicures, as he enjoyed putting his feet in a tank containing small fish that nibbled away the dead and calloused skin on his feet.  He was a weekend geocacher who only ever wrote “TFTC” in the online cache logs.  He geocached often with his twin brother, Marius, and he swore that they were able to tap into their twin-intuition in order to make quick cache finds.

We believe that Colton contracted the zombie plague from patient # 231, Chai Son.  We know from emails and travel agent records that Colton and his twin brother Marius decided to get away from the stress of their careers and go on a geocaching adventure in Thailand.  Geocache logs show that Chai Son, a popular tour guide, was recommended to them for a geocaching tour of Bangkok.   Chai Son took them to geocaches by tuk-tuk, and after each find Marius uploaded pictures of a pale and sweaty Chai Son giving the brothers and other tourists a celebratory high-five.  Within a few days the brothers succumbed to the plague. 

This travel bug is part of a larger study to take a closer look at how the zombie plague might propagate if the primary vector for spreading the disease was geocaching.  Please visit the following website for further details, and a visualization of how the disease has propagated thus far based on the movement and discovery of this and other infected Zombie travel bugs:
