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!

Picked up Boomerang Bug1 today. Hoping to leave for Paris tomorrow (ATL-LGA-JFK-CDG). If all goes well, I may be able to drop off Boomerang Bug1 on the morning of the 7th but that would be the absolute earliest. It may take a while for me to find a place in Paris to log in the drop-off.

Dropped off this bug to allow the possiblity of it getting to France more quickly. I'm planning on going to Paris with my family in mid-July and will take it with us if it hasn't been picked up by someone going sooner.
