About This Item

My father drove his motorhome from Phoenix, AZ to Alaska last year. One of his goals was to go north of the Arctic Circle. He accomplished his goal and to prove it brought back a piece of shale used to build the hiway. Our hope for this rock is to do some additional traveling, see the southern hemisphere and then return to it's origin in the north. Thanks for helping it on it's way. This TB was first placed in the Have Bug Will Travel Cache (N33 26.626 W111 58.940) at approximately 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 12, 2002)

    I am indeed humbled by this TB. I am always impressed when I get a low numbered TB that has been traveling for a while. As a geologist who loves the tundra, this is a very meaningful piece of lithosphere. I see this guy has been doing the event circuit. I will try to break that habit and place it in another real cache soon...but probably not before it's used as a demo at a Geocaching 101 event in a few weeks. It's rare that you get a TB with over 43,000 miles on it!
