Current Goal

Beat Purdue Rick (TBF8B2) back to the Boilermaker cache in West Lafayette, IN home of Purdue University. Actually any cache in Tippecanoe county will do but the Boilermaker cache, even though it is technically in Warren county, is the oldest active cache in Indiana and is one of the most appropriately named caches available.

About This Item

"Purdue Linda" and "Purdue Rick" are a pair of musical keychains that we dropped off in San Diego, CA in early Jan, 2004. The two travel bugs are racing each other to get back to Purdue. If she makes it back before he does then he will take her out to dinner. If you find these two together then please send them on seperate paths.

Sep. 2004Warning! Purdue Rick has been spotted in Indiana. Very close to the Boilermaker Cache. That dinner for Linda is looking very bleak. Please help Purdue Linda along in her travels. Dec. 2004It appears that TB Linda is missing. So long and farewell.

    We took Linda on a brief tour of Rolla, and checked her into the Rolla Travel Bug Hotel with Hug From Grandma, a Travel Bug heading to San Diego.

    They can discuss geography....
    Retrieve It from a Cache 8/14/2004 Three Day Weekend retrieved it from I-44 Wild TB Depot Redux Missouri   Visit Log

    We found Purdue Linda at I-44 Travel Bug Depot Redux.

    She'll only move 2 hours east this weekend, but should be in The Rolla Travel Bug Hotel in zip code 65401 this afternoon.

    If Purdue Linda is still listed in this cache in a couple weeks, we will move her to an I-70 location on September 11.

    Happy Travels, Linda & Rick!

    Hmmm - almost 500 miles in the right direction. I tried to drop her off near I44 in hopes she'd be picked up by someone headed to Indianapolis or thereabouts. Good luck!

    While we were at Merry Booty, we ran into Col. Whump and his caching partner looking to drop this bug off. Since we were headed East, they handed it off to us. I'll take a look at a map and figure out the best place to leave it to perhaps get it going in the right direction for a change!
