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.

I took this travel bug from the Along the River 1 cache in Kent Washington. I didn't have Chewbaca the geodog with me when I found Conowingo Bear, but since his nickname is Chewy Bear, I'll try to post a pictur of them together.

This little guy has been in hibernation for 7 months. Decided to retreive him and place him where he'll get more miles. This is an excellent cache (Iron Creek to Wakepish). I'm surprised he hasn't moved on. We'll place him soon.

Bearly made it to the top but it was our second up hill hike of the day. Summer means lots of "bear" skin but not the type a nice bear needs t0o meet. We'll try and find some better company for this young chap.
