Current Goal

Please Rescue Boo-Boo From His Current Cache

Boo-Boo (aka "The Hook") was born in Lake Clear, NY, and he would like to come back here some day, but at the moment, he needs to take an extended...vacation. He would prefer a non-extradition country, but the far side of any border will do. Please take and upload photos of him in far off places (to be used as future alibis). He would like to come home when the statute of limitations has expired, in the spring of 2014.

Boo-Boo would like to see the world beyond the Adirondack Park, and to drink deep of the well of experience. He wants to swim in both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, skydive, surf, go skiing, boat down the Colorado, wrestle an alligator, sail beyond the horizon, play the slots at Caesar's Palace, eat spicy food and dance on Bourbon Street, meet a nice lady-gnome, and stay well-clear of the "Ceramic Mafia" which has people out looking for him. Any help you can give him will be appreciated.

About This Item

Behind the Boo-Boo lies a complex gnome

Boo-Boo is a tiny lawn-type gnome, indistinguishible from any other except for his missing right hand, which was lost in a mishap at "The Back Door" (a rough and tumble saloon which closed soon after his hasty departure, to be replaced by a fern-bar) in Saranac Lake, NY. He tends to be reticent about his past, and can take a while to warm up to strangers. He likes cold weather, mushroom soup, Ted Nugent, worms and bugs, and the "Quiller" books by Adam Hall.

Write note 6/6/2005 LeXman posted a note for it   Visit Log

Well, I finally got Boo-Boo back in the ground.

Before I let him go, though, I took him to the 2005 Summer Camp Jam-Band Music Festival, Memorial Day weekend in Chillicothe, Illinois. He had a grand old time, and made quite a splash with all the neo-hippies there. I'm including some snapshots of his misadventures.

Also, I put him back in a cache still wearing his Summer Camp admission bracelet. Let's see what other knick-knacks Mr. Boo-Boo picks up in his misadventures along the way.

Thanks for the TB!

  • On the road . . . with Boo Boo!
  • Boo-Boo arrives at the festival
  • Boo-Boo has trouble with his concert bracelet
  • LeXman and Boo-Boo
  • Boo-Boo and one of the friendly natives
  • Boo-Boo attends a concert by the jam band moe.
  • . . . and give them one hook up!
  • Boo-Boo is attacked by a wild animal!

Ran into Boo-Boo in a biker bar (in an undisclosed location) and took him home with me. He'll be heading to a Geocache nearby soon.

Oh, the places we'll go. We should be able to get some nice alibi photos, though crossing the border may be a bit trickier.

Picked up Boo-Boo tonight. Big guy for a bug, didn't enjoy his hook in my pocket while hiking. Let me see what I can do for his mission. I may take him to Avroair's Baby Back Ribs event on August 11 to see if anyone is border crossing soon. Otherwise, he might get a ride to Florida on August 14.

Well, after staying with us for a few days, Boo-Boo was sent along his way. Found a nice cache in a swampy pond where he can visit with his ogre friends for a bit.
