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!

It was here once before, but then it left on a short trip. Can some one take it on a longer flight to get it closer to France.

Tried really hard to get this TB to France. Sorry it didn't work out. Hope it gets further on its journey on the next pick up.
