Current Goal

This bullet is all fired up..it has been hearing about a famous battle that has a reference to "Shot heard round the World" and is in a hurry to visit Lexington, Boston, and other areas where the Revolutionary War took place.

About This Item

Shoot's inspiration:

Shot heard round the world

By the rude bridge that arched to the flood,
Their flag to April´s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Concord Hymn

    Shoot! has made it to Lexington, MA! ::fanfare and cheering:: It has been a pleasure to see Shoot! to its first goal and I hope a fellow cacher can give it the tour of Boston before heading off to other Revolutionary sites. Thanks for the fun excuse to get out and geocache in Massachusetts, Escapades!

    What a strange twist of fate for Shoot! and I. Scroll down to the July 2004 logs to see about my original encounter with Shoot! Now it's nearly 2006 and our paths have crossed again. Okay, perhaps I went a little out of my way to snag Shoot! today. Still, I will get it to Lexington tomorrow AM before I have to head into Boston for a Boston Pops concert. Shoot!'s card and tag show a little wear, but it's journey is near an end. Just don't ask me to take it on an airplane when I leave on the 31st. 🤕

    A year and a half later, I'm glad to see the dogtags have returned to Massachusetts. Ironically, we're going out in a couple weeks for the Holidays. We'll try to track Shoot! down and get it to Lexington if it hasn't arrived already.

    Back from our Thanksgiving holiday, I finally have time to post a note. Shoot's goal made him a must grab for me. My mom was a member of DAR. Our tree goes back to Benjamin Kimball a young man who fought in the Revolutionary War. We got Shoot as close to Lexington as we could. Hopefully someone else will get him the rest of the way.

    Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to drop this one near OIA. I am hoping to go caching this week and will leave it in a cache or TB hotel.

    Took Shoot! from an event. I am planning on flying next week from MCO (Orlando). I will try to drop him into a cache near there to help him along!
