Current Goal

Since I am towlebooth's first bug, I hope to retrace his steps in life. If I make these modest goals, I'd like to retrace the steps of his ancestors as well.

About This Item

To retrace the moves that my owner and his family have made across the country, I need to visit the following locations (in relative order):

--Woodbury/Eastern St. Paul, Minnesota - Current residence. Done! Thanks Wallypog & Centris.
--Little Canada/Roseville, Minnesota - First metro apartment. Done! Thanks kingboreas.
--Chapel Walk Cache SJU Campus, Collegeville/Saint Cloud, Minnesota - Ahh college.
--Duluth, Minnesota - Age 2-18. Done! Thanks DiverSM.
--Iowa City, Iowa - My birthplace and college home of my parents.
--Bettendorf/Davenport, Iowa - Parents grew up and met here.
--Williamsburg, Iowa - Grandmother was born here.
--Madison, Wisconsin - Grandfather went to medical school here.
--Wausau, Wisconsin - Grandfather grew up nearby.
--Chicago, Illinois - Mother was born here.
--Orient, Maine (Aroostook County) Great, great grandfather born here 1843.

More to follow. My owner has to dig the specifics out of the geneology files.

Please take a picture of me near a local landmark or sign identifing the town or something the town is known for. Thanks!

    Since I was heading up to the BWCA last week, I decided to try bringing this bug to Duluth. The driver didn't want to stop on the way up but I managed to convince him on the return trip to stop and help this bug on its mission. Unfortunately, the cache I was going to place it in (Chester's Best) was no longer at the coordinates I had (I thought it plundered, but the owner had just moved it to a less trafficked location during the week I was in the BWCA).
    So I still have the bug, and it's sort-of been to a cache in Duluth. Does this count as a Duluth visit? Sorry I forgot to take photos of the bug on its travels through the BWCA. My bad :(
