Columbus On The Move

Will Christopher Columbus reach Genoa again, where he was born as Cristoforo Colombo ?

Will he - here known as Cristobal Colon - be able to travel to Madrid, Lisboa, Sevilla, Valladolid,... in order to find transport into the unknown ?

Will he travel again to the Bahamas, to Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad...... ?

And what about places like Republica de Colombia, British Columbia, the Columbia River, Columbia-Plateau, Columbia Range, Colon in Argentina, Colon in Panama, Colon in Venezuela, the Archipielago de Colon (Galapagos), Columbus in Ohio, Columbus in Georgia, Columbus in Indiana, Columbus in Kansas, Columbus in Miss., Columbus in Nebr., the District of Columbia, Columbia University (NY), Columbia in Alabama, Columbia in Indiana, Columbia in Kentucky, .... ?

And will he reach China or India this time ?

Please help him on his way !

A picture showing him next to one of those places or next to statues or to plates and such would be great.

And he really loves having pictures taken showing him and the old Egg of Columbus trick.

Obviously the Pico Colorado Cache on Lanzarote has been lost - and with it poor Columbus 💀 vanished before hitting India.
Maybe, Earth is only a disc and not a globe, after all.

Hi,

I forgot to scribble down the Tracking # of Colon, so I send you my
log for this TB. You can upload it to the TB-page.

We delivered TB colon to Lanzarote. One of the seven islands of the Canaries. Cristofero Colon passed the Canary Islands on each of his journeys (but went rather to Gomera in order to visit a Lady).

From there Cristofero Colon used the Gulf-Stream to reach Middle America.
We hope that placing Colon on Lanzarote is a good place for him to fullfill its task. We exchanged Colon against TB Pichers in the Pico-Colorado stash. A nice Cache site nearby four volcanoes with a great view to the sea.

[What a nice task for a TB - TNX]

We will take this TB to Canary Island within three weeks. so colon will revisit a stage of his trips to America, where Cristoforo Colon stopped to retrieve water and food.
