Please help this UPS Truck for My Dad travel to Seattle, WA - to the birthplace of UPS, Waterfall Gardens at the corner of 2nd and Main. There is a plaque here honoring James E. (Jim) Casey, the founder of UPS. (Micro @ site = GCHXVJ)

Reading how far this has traveled, brings such joy to my heart. Dad has been gone 14 years now - and the pain still remains. He would be absolutely tickled at the adventures this truck has had! THANK YOU ALL!

About This Item

Gold UPS Truck for Dad

My Dad passed away 5/13/2003, 4 years to the day prior to day of activation 5/13/2007, and this bug rested upon his stone as I visited him for a few brief moments on the day of activation. While he was not working at UPS at the time he died, it was a major portion of his adult life, and the reason for so many hours spent building a life for his family. Dad would take us to major hubs and give us tours, he took us to the grand 75th anniversary gala as a family vacation (no kidding) - and he took us to the Jim Casey plaque in Seattle, WA on another family vacation. My Dad was proud of what he had accomplished with UPS, and worked hard year after year - even joked that all of us kids weren't delivered by the stork, but by a UPS package truck. I love my Dad, and believe with my whole soul that because we still have him in our hearts, he hasn't missed one smile, tear, or bout of family laughter just because he has gone ahead to make a place for us. We miss him desperately, but see his smile in the faces of each other, and in the faces of his grandchildren. I love you Dad.

Did not see this one in the listed cache today when I checked on it on the way to another...

Discovered your TB sometime in the past couple years somewhere along my traveled path ranging from Michigan to the west coast and south as far as Georgia including everywhere in between. Perhaps it was at an event, found in a cache or in person. Yea... I know I need to log these better but up until now there was no good way to do it that wouldn't take hours. Kept the images of the TB's over time and figured some day when I had time I would catch up. Today is that day. Thank you for sharing your TB's, hopefully their journey has continued on to wherever it is they wanted to go.

Grabbed this guy because 1. I used to work for UPS, so I love the idea of helping a truck get around and 2. I noticed it hasn't been to Minnesota yet, and I'm going there this weekend!

We're taking UPS Truck for Dad TB home to meet GeoPig. She used to be a UPS driver until she suffered a terrible hamstring injury.
