Grab It (Not from a Cache) 9/20/2005 GeoHuntersBoston grabbed it   Visit Log

Grabbed George from the Mutton Box cache in Cambridge, MA and will get him to Maine in the very near future. Too bad he hasn't been there already since we know someone headed to MN very shortly.

TB George has finally continued his journey. I'm so sorry once again to have delayed him. I was too scared in the woods of Orlando to read where he was headed until I got home to Iowa. I haven't been to the east coast toward Maine until now, so brought him with me. I'm learning and next time will read first, then just leave a TB in any cache as they travel faster than I. Sorry for delaying his race - maybe there's a prize for last?? Hope you'll forgive a virgin cacher.

Anyway, left him in Boston at the Mutton Box. . . Do lambs like ladybugs??

Retrieve It from a Cache 11/13/2004 Boji Bullets retrieved it from O.C.C.C. TB Hotel Florida   Visit Log

I picked George up in Orlando at the O.C.C.C TB hotel. By myself in my suit and heels from a conference, I got out of that wooded area as quickly as possible and didn't notice the order of states it was traveling as I quickly glanced at the sheet. I live in Iowa on the Minnesota border, so he'll have to back track back to the East coast. Sorry for the added travels, but truth be told, no trip is complete without a visit to Iowa! Ha Ha.
