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!

Picked this one up while we were in Dana Point for a picnic, and thought we would bring it up to the LA area and maybe get it a little bit closer to an airport so that it may find it's way to France a little quicker...who knows? If you click on the picture below you will see Francine putting this TB into action. It was a great idea to have the goals of this TB written on the boomerang so people don't pick it up if they can't help it achieve it's mission. Cache you later! C & F

  • Quick trip around Dana Point Harbor

The boomerang took a wide swing out to Arizona. There is a possible plan to get in the air to Toulouse.
