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!

I was out today checking on a few caches and found that the cache that this trackable was in had been damaged and had taken on water. The trackable is fine (just a bit moist) and has been cleaned and is drying out. I have replaced any damaged parts of the trackables that were in the cache (rusted chains, dirty coin covers and any printed materials) and will be releasing them shortly. I am so sorry for this happening and hope that my efforts are to your expectations. If not, please contact me with any request concerning your item.

Too bad we hadn't found this TB a while ago as we just returned from a cross the U.S.A. caching trip and passed through Ill. on our way back. Instead we will drop it somewhere else asap.
