About This Item

whistle

The original item (a bottle opener) was found in GCJP58. When that went missing I released the copy tag with a purple whistle. I am hoping it will visit all the event caches that I can't attend because they are too far away.

Tja, niet gespot tijdens Poffertje-event (had alleen oog voor.... poffertjes). Misschien ga ik naar IFF event in Belgie.... dus nog event voor Purple Foot. En als ik niet ga, dan probeer ik hem aan iemand te geven die er weel heen gaat.... officieel cache .... 't gele bussie of zo😉

Found a nice new cache for TB Purple Foot. The town of Gorinchem is the sister-town of the Korean city of Cheju-do. The history goes back to a gentleman named 'Hendrik Hamel', a resident of Gorinchem around 1650. He is known for being the 'Columbus of Korea'. It seems like a nice link with the cache that I took TB Purple Foot from.
I hope TB Purple Foot is not too smelly from all his travels; he has to share this cache with TB Flying Dogs who is racing from Hong Kong to Belgium.

Drop&Grab to log mileage. TB Purple Foot joined us in setting TB Big Bird free again. Afterwards we took Purple Foot with us to Heusden to celebrate our 8th anniversary with a nice dinner in the old town centre.

Found Purple Foot only one day after the cache was put up for adoption. My first cache in Korea. Who knows how many more will follow?
