Current Goal

Geocaching Is A Way Of Life wants to travel and meet other Geocachers who take their hobby seriously or, at least, really enjoy Geocaching.

About This Item

The GIAWOL Travel Bug

Geocaching Is A Way Of Life was placed in Scook's cache Get A Life, Go Geocaching! by Yodypody in celebration of her 300th cache find. Rather than make everyone come to the cache to see this special item, he thought he'd send it on a mission to meet other cachers everywhere and anywhere.

GIAWOL would especially like to meet geocachers for their special cache finds, be that their 10th, 100th or 1000th. Attending a Event Cache would be an even bigger bonus for this Travel Bug.

The original was water damaged and so the medallion was replaced. After a hiaitus from August, 2007 to April, 2013 it will make it's re-entrance into the geocache community at the Michigan Geocaching Springish Olympics 2013 on April 13th

This Trackabel was started by my spouse (CITOcacher) who passed away in December of 2021

Please keep it moving though, rather than keeping it in your pocket!

This little travel bug went to the MIDWEST GEOBASH event, but got literally lost in between the seats of the truck. I was so surprised to re-discover it just now, so sorry Scook it should have got passed off to an out-of-stater, but alas its back in Michigan, will get in another cache asap.

What a cool TB! I still consider myself new to geocaching but I know that this is a hobby I will do the rest of my life. I've had so much fun with it! Thank you Ben'Geoen for leading the way! 🙂
