About This Item

We took this bear on our 2016 family reunion trip to Alaska. We sent out nine bears, one for each kid at the reunion.  This bear's name is Buddy and he belongs to Andrew who was 12 years old at the time of the reunion.

We made guesses about which of the nine bears would complete the following milestones by August 1, 2017:

  • The first bear to be picked up: Sophia
  • Travel the farthest distance: Misty (8346 miles)
  • Travel the shortest distance: Fish (2157 miles)
  • Visit the most caches: King Salmon (167 caches)
  • Visit the least caches: Fish (2 caches)
  • Get lost first: Fish (2016-07-25... never picked up)
  • Reach 1,000 miles first: Sophia
  • Reach 5,000 miles first: Chimichanga and Misty
  • Reach 10,000 miles first: No one yet!
  • Visit Canada first: Chocolate Berry
  • Visit a country outside North America first: No one yet!
  • Be photographed first: Sleepy
  • Visit the most states/countries: Misty (6- Utah, Alaska, Georgia, Alabama, California, Arizona)

Updated progress toward our goals as of June 2022 is as follows:

  • Travel the farthest distance: King Salmon (18,293 miles)
  • Travel the shortest distance, excluding lost trackables: Sleepy (6031 miles)
  • Get lost next: Sophia (2016-08-20), Chimichanga (2016-08-29), and Chocolate Berry (2019-11-29)
  • Visit the most caches: King Salmon (317 caches)... runner up is Chocolate Berry (309 caches)
  • Visit the least caches, excluding lost trackables: Buddy (11 caches)... runner up is Sleepy (77 caches)
  • Pass 15,000 miles: King Salmon (18,293), Misty (16,773), and Chocolate Berry (16,539)
  • Visit a country outside North America: Chocolate Berry (2017 France), Buddy (2018 Costa Rica), and King Salmon (2018 Austria, 2019 Czechia, and 2019 Germany)
  • Visit the most states: Misty (8- Utah, Alaska, Georgia, Alabama, California, Arizona, Indiana, North Carolina)
  • Most photos: Sleepy (13 photos)... runner up is Chocolate Berry (6 photos)

Help us toward our next series of contest goals:

  • Travel the farthest distance: 
  • Get lost next: 
  • First lost trackable to get found: 
  • Visit the most caches: 
  • Pass 20,000 miles: 
  • Come back to the United States after visiting a country outside North America: 
  • Visit the most states: 
  • Most photos: 

Help me to complete a milestone by taking me on an adventure with you and sending pictures of your travels! Thanks!!

This trackable is actually in this cache- I inadvertently logged it into the wrong cache. I’m not able to make this change, as it is no longe in my possession. I’m sure that when the next cacher picks it up, it’ll be remedied!

I picked this trackable up a year and a half ago in Hawaii while on a holiday trip with 14 family members. Unfortunately there was a death in our family and this little bear was hidden away along with some other random things in a luggage pocket during our hasty packing to return to Alaska.
I am so happy to get this bear traveling again given the story behind the origins of his trip!

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 12/30/2016 imeajinak grabbed it   Visit Log

Our family has gathered here in Kona for the holidays- there are 14 of us from interior Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington, Pennsylvania, and New York. I love geocaching with my niece & nephew and was delighted to find this track able! We'll make sure Buddy has a great adventure before passing him along!
Retrieve It from a Cache 11/21/2016 Geo Fishers retrieved it from Boardwalk 15.5 Alaska   Visit Log

Andrew, Buddy misses the sunshine here in Alaska....bears sleep most of the winter, ya know. Rescued from our favorite campground, from a cache owned by fav friends, Buddy came to Eagle River Alaska Oct 2. But.....he's moving soon!! Watch for the drop in HAWAII! Big Island......gecko's will love him!
