I just finished an epic 18-day, 24-state (yes, you read that right!) road trip from St. Louis to Chicago, across to Portland, Maine, down the coast to Atlanta, Georgia and back north to St. Louis, with my friend and geobuddy, How-D. Along the way, we visited many travel bug hotels but I didn't have time to log them. If you are receiving this log, I made a note of your travel bug, which I discovered in good condition in a geocache during my trip between May 27 and June 13, 2021. Thank you for setting your trackables free so we can move and discover them on their journeys! May your trackable be picked up and moved along soon!

By the way, (now that I'm at home and have had some time to read about this trackable in detail), it's very coincidental that I found this trackable today, since I just watched this 60 Minutes segment on "the geographical center of North America" two days ago!:

Interesting! (Unfortunately, I don't have plans to visit any of the listed goals in the near future, but will do my best to keep this trackable moving along to someone/somewhere else soon).

Deepest sympathy regarding the loss of your friend.
