Current Goal

Conowingo Bear is traveling the world on a public relations tour for bears. He wants lots of stories and photo snaps posted to his webpage along the way. Hopefully photos will include people who help him travel, and other bears whenever possible (live or of the teddy type).

About This Item

Conowingo Bear

Conowingo Bear began his journey at the Funky Bearz cache, Conowingo, Maryland, USA, on March 25, 2004. His mission is in honor of a real black bear which was recently sighted in the Conowingo area--a most unusual phenomenon in this part of the country. A copy of the newspaper article from the Cecil Whig accompanies Conowingo on his journey. Conowingo was the hunting grounds of the Susquesahanocks, members of the Iroquois tribe. Conewago or Conowingo, means "at the rapids" in the language of the Susquesahanocks.

We had much fun with Conowingo Bear. We went to the Monmouth History Museum, and learned the History of where he was visiting. Another day we went to the Monmouth Library and visited his great uncle. Then, we tried to find a place just right, but we had no such luck. With the rain coming we thought a "Break from the rain" would be the perfect spot, but once there we knew this wouldn't work. You see, Conowingo Bear has ate so many plums that he got too fat to fit. So, we booked him a room at the hotel in hopes that someone will take him some place warm for the winter. Good Luck Conowingo Bear!!!
