Hey, there is a Geocaching picnic in Kansas City in late August. The picnic is near Liberty (just north of KC), but the water fountains of Kansas City would be great photo ops for your li'l travel bug.
I thought you might like to know!
If you can't go, I'd be happy to take your travel bug out there to be discovered and bring him back to you. I have my own digital camera too. My mom lives in Kansas City and I grew up there.
