Discovered It 9/15/2023 MiriCach discovered it   Visit Log

TL;DR: We don't have the trackable (and feel sorry for you if it means it is still missing), but stumbled upon its discovery code.

The story: I discovered this trackable/coin when I cracked the cache "Msportis Coinlihaus der 2." and then was able to reverse-engineer some Coins/TBs of the owner Msporti as well. By pure chance / luck while testing out possibilities for this I also came across this TB/coin. We hope that it's okay that we discover it, if not, feel free to delete this log. TFTC/TFTT 😉

The Grover Coptor is gone (stolen), the Log is gone (stolen too). We are grateful to team RweHereYet for finding and returning his travel bug tag to us. We will try to find a new Grover Coptor and create a new log for this little travel bug.

I could not resist picking up Grover Copter, the Tbug. Now the challenge of finding a high place in Iowa?

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 6/12/2002 The Adventure Hounds grabbed it   Visit Log

Picked Grover up at the Dinosaur Cache (GC1F13) on 6/12/02. There are no entries to indicate how he got from Storybook Stroll to Dinosaur Cache, but since he has been bouncing around South Dakota for awhile, we decided it is time for him to move east.
