Current Goal

PLEASE KEEP THIS GEOTAG MOVING!!  The tag and the airplane model go together, so please don't take them apart. This doesn't much care where it goes, although if you go to an airport, please take a photo of it while you are there  We own this, but have sent it out into the world so that others can enjoy it, collect the tag's icon and then pass it on to another cache.  If you can post a photo of it on its travels, that would be great :-D  Discoveries are always welcome. Thanks to all who help our geocoins and TBs! 

About This Item

The traveler

This tag is part of a set of four that represent the traditional "Four Elements" of ancient Greek Natural Philosophy: earth, air, fire and water.  All material things were thought to be made of these four elements, or a combination of them.  The planets, stars and other celestial objects were thought to be composed of a fifth element: aether, or quintessence, which now has the meaning of "central idea" or "essential nature".  Other cultures have other forms of these Classical Elements, but they often are analagous to the Greek ideas.  Now that we know more about the real elements, we recognize that wind, water and fire are the chief natural erosive forces of earth.

As for the airplane that is on the chain, it is a model of an actual jet, the Eurofighter Typhoon. This one is part of the German Air Force: registry 98-29, serial # DA1. The Typhoon was developed by a European consortium, and is used by many NATO countries, as well as several Middle Eastern nations. It first saw operational service in 2003 (first test flights were 15 years earlier) and is still actively in use. We've had this model for several years, having retrieved it from a cache, and it seems fitting to add it to this geotag.

Discovered it somewhere out there during some time. Thank you for sharing.

Retrieve It from a Cache 4/13/2022 chaosmanor retrieved it from MaveriK Travel Plaza & TB Hotel. (Perry Utah) Utah   Visit Log

This was dropped into a TB Hotel by the owner of said cache. Three weeks later, this was reported as missing. The CO makes regular visits to the cache, adding trackables, and sometimes taking one to move it elsewhere, but s/he apparently does not make corrections to the contents list. As a result, we have no idea whether this was actually picked up, or not.

So, we are retrieving this for burial in an archived cache of ours, and hope that it turns up, some day. And here's the obligatory "rant" for situations like this...

WE HOPE THAT SOMEONE IS JUST BEING VERY SLOW TO LOG THIS, OR THAT THEY FORGOT ABOUT IT, OR MAYBE DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT IT REALLY WAS; IF THIS IS THE CASE, PLEASE RETRIEVE IT, AND THEN DROP IT INTO ANOTHER CACHE AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. THANK YOU!

HOWEVER...

IF THIS WAS TAKEN WITH NO INTENTION OF MOVING IT ALONG, WHOEVER TOOK IT IS A THIEF!! WE OWN THIS GEOCOIN; WE SENT IT OUT INTO THE WORLD FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO ENJOY AND TO MOVE ALONG. IT CANNOT BE SOLD OR ADOPTED; IT CAN'T EVEN BE SHOWN TO OTHERS WITHOUT RISKING THEM FINDING OUT THAT THIS WAS STOLEN. THE SOLUTION, OF COURSE, IS TO GET A CONSCIENCE AND DROP THIS INTO A CACHE SOON.

IF YOU SEE THIS GEOCOIN IN THE COLLECTION OF A CACHER OTHER THAN US, BE AWARE THAT IT IS STOLEN PROPERTY.

Agreed that it wasn't in the Maverick TB Hotel. Hopefully your travels get logged soon.
