About This Item

The three hosts of The Geocaching Podcastscottberks (Scott), TAZ427 (Chad), and shortyknits (Jessie), decided to have a little fun. Scott and Shorty are pretty competitive in nature and raced their TBs to Chad last year! Who won? Well, it depends on who you ask! 

Now they're racing back and Chad has accepted the challenge as well. They will try to get back to where they started (Get Off My Porch!) or for 18 months, whichever happens first.

Scott's travel bug is attached to a Terminator Brain Chip. Jessie's travel bug (this one) is attached to a keychain of the character Jessie from Toy Story. Chad's travel bug is attached to Mr. Pickle.

It has been a crazy fun adventure with Jessie. We went from Maryland to California and back 3 times round trip. We also went to Yuma and visited all the counties in Arizona plus the four corners monument including UT, CO, NM and AZ. We visited every Mid-Atlantic state including Virginia, West Virginia, Penna, Delaware, Maryland. Ohio was seen several times. Also NJ, NY, VT, MA, and NH. NC to visit family and most of the midwest too. The two June megas brought us to TN, AR, MS, MO, IA, WI and of course IL. Thanks for all the fun and traveling companionship. I will try to upload some more photos once I get them sorted.
