Current Goal

This virtual Travel Bug moves like a benevolent minister, priest, rabbi, (shaman, spiritual advisor, fill in your own) etc. to stand with you as you bestow respect and rememberance towards the memory of great, lost caches that are now archived. St. Fanurius of Geo seeks only those caches which were truly great, deserved to be honored and are now sorely missed.

About This Item

Do you mourn for the loss a particular archived cache which was quite special in it's location and/or design? Do you wish others could now experience the joy that you remembered when you were there? Our Saint offers comfort and gentleness for your geocacher heart.

All you need to do is invite our Saint along with you to the page of any archived geocache that is truly worthy of such a rememberance. Just Post A Note on the archived cache's page to drop off this bug and mention the Saint's role in visiting.

Then make sure you post a nicely detailed paragraph here describing your thoughts and your memories of the cache. Let us know why it was so special and why it is so missed nowadays. Just posting this TB in some cache with no note makes the Saint very sad, because he REALLY needs your written memories of the past cache in order to give a proper rememberance. Thanks for your detailed description of what made the cache worth a Saintly visit.

(IMPORTANT: As of April 20,2005, a detailed paragraph on this page is now a required rule. If this rule is not followed, a single polite reminder note will be sent by the owner to the cacher who didn't take the rule into consideration. A reminder note will also be posted by the TB owner on this page. If the log is not properly re-done within 7 days, that log will be deleted by the TB owner. Thank you for treating the Saint with proper respect.)

You never know... after the Saint is invited to be with you for a ceremony of respect and rememberance to a particular bygone cache, we may just witness this TB's rumored saintly powers of ressurrection! When that happens, we can claim an Official St. Fanurius of Geo Miracle. "Lo! For a great archived cache with no hope comes to life again! Hallelujah!!"

His name, St. Fanurius of Geo, is inspired by the name of the patron saint of lost things. Check out the history of the original saint name.

St. Fanurius of Geo's TB number is 454473. Please respect our Saint's sacred mission and guide his visits only towards those caches which are both bygone and greatly missed.

There is no longer a time limit for how long a worthy cache has been archived to make it eligible for a Saintly rememberance. Also, more than one person may join in memorials of the same cache (by 'grabbing' the bug and putting it back there with their own written eulogy-log on the cache page) IF the past cache is truly so worth such a salute. :)

There are good caches and great caches. Taking this to one that was so ingeneous and worthy that the cache and owner even got some TV coverage.

I am grabbing the TB to place it in my favorite multi. Unfortunately it is no longer active, and I was the last to visit it.

This cache still ranks among my most favorites, because the containers and placement were ingenious and just plain fun. The hints and theme were wonderful, and didn't give too much away - just added to the experience. I was so sad to learn this cache had gone missing, because it was such a good time.

Every EraSeek cache is a classic... and there were actually two cache's hidden here -- the second was one waypoint of a puzzle cache still in existence.

GO and ARO spend alot of time nearby, and I have visited the locale often; a great place to view Edmonds and the Olympic Mountains!

This sacred place, the Rumbling Bald Pseudokarst, is one where I have spent many wonderful days exploring during the late Eighties and early Nineties while I was very active with the North Carolina Cave Survey and the National Speleological Society. I have never seen a cache there but we used to maintain a cave register. Of course, geocaching hadn't even been invented then! Please link to the St. Fanurius of Geo page to retrieve what I believe may be the first locationless Travel Bug! Peace and Blessings to All!!!
