Current Goal

This travel bug has the modest goal to circulate more than five years and to be moved by at least 25 cachers.  As of 13-Oct-19 it had survived for 155 days and had been moved by 2 cachers.

Please drop it in rural OR Premium Member Only caches.  Do not place it in an urban cache or abandon it at a caching small event.  Transport the bug in the original plastic bag for as long as the bag lasts; the bag keeps the trackable clean, protects the number and prevents tangling with other items.  Otherwise, take the travel bug anywhere you wish.  No permission is needed to leave the U.S.

Travel bug photos are appreciated and will be re-posted here.

About This Item

This is one of a series of large beads obtained from different places and converted into travel bugs.  They are named for Texas towns with interesting names or histories.

 Nameless was on Sandy Creek in northwestern Travis County.  It was settled in 1869.  When residents of the community applied for a post office, they had difficulty getting the post office department to accept the names they suggested.  After six rejections, residents wrote back saying, "Let the post office be nameless and be damned!"  The department took them at their word, and a post office called Nameless was established in 1880.  In 1884 Nameless reported a church, a district school, a general store, and fifty residents.  Cotton, cedar posts, and rails were the principal commodities shipped from the area.  The post office was discontinued in 1890, and mail for the community was sent to Leander.  During the 1940s two churches, a business, and a few scattered houses marked the community on county highway maps, but it is a ghost town now.
