This Travel Bug is starting its journey with one Hitchhiker - Aimee's Thanksgiving 2015 Button.

They were initially set free by Aimee Swanson in the forest near Prescott, AZ, who wants to see them travel from cache to cache spreading smiles, peace and adventure to Bali, Thailand, Paris and Tanzania!!. 

The Travel Bug is made of aluminum and measures just under 1" x 2".  The Button Hitchhiker is made of metal and measures about 2" in diameter.  They should fit nicely in small size cache containers.  They are attached to a key chain and would love to have other Hitchhikers joining them.
