Current Goal

Go West young Buggins

Mr. Buggins has decided it is time for adventure. Starting today, the 18th of March, 2002, Mr. Buggins has set out on his own. His long term goal is to circumnavigate the globe. So, if you are planning to travel soon, go find Mr. Buggins and take him with you!Starting at a point on the extreme west coast of the US, he is ready to go!

About This Item

Mr. Buggin's is located on Coronodo Island, west of San Diego, CA. This is not a cache with any contents, just Mr. Buggins in a small plastic jar with a yellow lid... (don't tell my girlfriend I cleaned out her collection of 10 year old food seasonings).

He is stashed among some rocks, in between the beach and some thick green brush. It should be in a safe place, he won't get washed out to sea and I doubt the random passerby will see him stashed there. But to avoid that, Mr. Buggins is hidden pretty tight in the rocks, so get low and look hard.

You will know you are close because it is directly under the flight path of aircraft landing at the Naval base. So enjoy the views of the ocean, enjoy seeing our hard earned tax dollars at work and please, help get Mr. Buggins around the world!

    Hello everyone, Hoist here. I started mr. buggins on his journey what 2 and a half years ago now? It looks like he almost made it around the world, going from CA to India to Colorado before going back the other way. It has been fun to watch how far he has made it, and I hope he does make it back to San Diego someday! I would even fly back down to SD to meet whoever can bring him home!

    Please add photos of whereever you may leave him at, would love to see all the cool places he has been!

    Thanks,

    Hoist!

    He didn't get to enjoy the water view for very long. I'll move him to a new cache soon.
