Current Goal

The goal of this Boomerang TB WAS to reach France, host country of the 2004 World Boomerang Championships and then return, like a boomerang, to Peoria, Illinois, USA.

It has accomplished this epic adventure thanks to you, awesome geocachers.

About This Item

Boomerang Bug1

This small boomerang arrived in France, briefly and amazingly, in the same month as the World Boomerang Championships thereby accomplishing its primary goal. Charleville-Mézières, FRANCE hosted the World Boomerang Championships July 12-21, 2004.

It has since, 6 years later, arrived in Peoria, IL and been caught by the thrower.

Many happy returns to all who helped this travel bug on it's flight. Catch the magic! Throw boomerangs!

Got the boomerang from Stay on Target while out with missmstracks. We may be able to get it to France soon - will find out this week. (If not we'll put it back in circulation next weekend).
A cute little bug like this deserves to achieve its goal!

Ooops...

I needed a TB for a local trip so I went to Waiting for the Mail and grabed this one without really reading the 'fine print' on the 'rang'.

Nope.. FRANCE is just a tad to far for my weekend jaunt.. so I will rack up a mile or two for it and then return it to the TB drop. (isn't that what boomerrangs do.. return?)

We see that this bug is trying to get to France. Sure is taking the long route there. Seems to be boomeranging around the country. Will try to get it into a cache on an interstate headed East if we can.
