Home sweet home! After a journey of almost 22,000 miles over more than 4 years, this little bug has returned home to retire. Thanks to everyone who had a part in the adventure!

My,my, what do we have here? "GBA"? That sounds familiar. :)

Down from San Jose for a few days. Ms Tammy is at a conference. I am free to be out geocaching. Spent Thursday and Friday driving to and from Yuma on a quest to fill in a bunch of Delorme Challenge grids. Today is just casual caching around the area.

Found this TB while caching a power trail along the San Diego river. We will get him within a few miles of Felton with a stop at a nice hotel in San Jose. :)

Wanted to take these buddy to SF but have only one day for business. Would rather go caching but no chance. Sorry!

I normally don't mess with TB's , but this one wants to go to San Francisco and I'll be heading there in Jun. Have to ask the owner if he wants me to pass it on or deliver it to San Francisco.
