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!

GIAWOL was in a cache infested with other TBs....it was on top so it got to go with me! Will drop it in another Anchorage area cache soon.

I retrieved GIAWOL from Orginial Pines cache near Sanford Michigan. I will be dropping it off soon to another location. It's in good shape. It also was my first find.

A very nice travel bug. I can tell a lot of work went into this one. I will either place it into the Oakland Transit Cache, if I am can retrieve it, or into one of my caches this weekend.
I laughed when I read, "The shortest distance between two points is the route you took FROM the cache." Getting this one, I plowed through tons of mud. Getting out: it was cut grass all the way! :>)
