About This Item

Tack

I am one of 16 brothers released in 2002 from the Make Way for Ducklings cache in Larz Anderson Park. We are trying to make it to a cache near Seattle, WA. If you could help us we would appreciate it.

It seems some cachers have taken to bolstering their claims by logging my travel ducks from way way back. This is funny to me because some claim they have in their hands, duck brothers and sisters who are sitting right here on my desk. It is a sad state of affairs when one feels the need to cheat at a game like Geocaching.

Another likely bogus entry by horser - he just logged a travel bug that's been sitting in my desk for the last 10 years, too.

Tack wants to go to Seattle.. letting him hitch a ride to LA should help.

Tack is headed west. He''ll be closer to his intended destination; however, he''s over a year behind schedule.

This was my first Travel Bug find.

Found this little guy sitting on top of Springer Mountain and it looks like he had been sitting for over a year. Knew he was not going to get near his goal with me but at least he will get into an area with many people who may be able to help him out. Pictures of his travels with me will follow.

  • Tack and china Bear on the way out The last stop on the way out of the forest.
  • Tea Time China Bear and Tack wait for the water to boil for a cup of trail tee along the approach trail to Springer
  • Buddies by the fire Tack and new friend China Bear enjoy an evening by the fire on top of Springer Mtn.

Took this one from the cache to hopefully end up in a midwestern cache soon - he really needs to get moving to make the west coast by October! :-)
