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!

Hi, Found this TB in a sorry state of affairs in a waterlogged cache (European IMC No1). We will give it some TLC due to the rust, mud and waterlogged state. We will release it when it is fit to go onward.
