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.

Found this while out racking up my stats. I'm planning a trip to Wyoming in 3 weeks. This will be a great place to leave it since it has a lot of bears near Yellowstone.

Sorry it took so long to get Conowingo Bear to another cache. He should be picked up again soon since the spot is right next to the freeway and easy to get to and to find. Thanks for loaning him to us for awhile. It's always fun to help a TB along its journey.
