Current Goal

My husband was always proud that he was a veteran and had served in the Navy. I lost him on November 25, 2017. I am releasing the travel tag in his memory. He loved living in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. He loved caching with me and our dogs. This is my way of not only keeping his memory alive but letting him cache from heaven. He loved nothing better than laughing and I just know he will be smiling from above each time he is found and moved to a new place to be found again!! Please help Kevin use those angel wings to fly from place to place. I would love to see pictures of places that you take him. So please post those pics. Thank you and happy caching!

I just saw the article in FTF Magazine. I actually did the same thing for my cousin who passed away at 18 years old in a car accident. After his HS Graduation, Tom was enlisted to go to Fort Benning in Georgia as a Calvary Scout for the US Army, but his untimely death was in February. At his service, his Scout Troop did a changing of the guard and the Army recruiter presented my Aunt with a Flag. He is deeply missed everyday, especially by his Mother (My Aunt) and his surviving Cousins. He was an only child, but he sure never felt like one with my other cousin and siblings! Tom was with me and my brother when I found my very first geocache under my old account kolee. I released the original TOM LYNCH TB (TB2JNH8) in Maine in 2014 and it travelled 37,172.6 miles until its last known whereabouts in Île-de-France in 2019. Seeing your article brings me a little hope that when I least expect it, maybe I will someday see my original TB again that went missing. Since then I released a replacement TOM LYNCH TB 2.0 (TBAR59A) under my new Geocaching alias. I now carry a dog tag keychain with a photo collage I designed of Tom (I attached an image of the picture) with the Travel Bug and I log it with every cache I find with a "Discover Me" in my log. After his HS Graduation, Tom was enlisted to go to Fort Benning in Georgia as a Calvary Scout for the US Army, but his untimely death was in February. At his service, his Scout Troop did a changing of the guard and the Army recruiter presented my Aunt with a Flag. For me, his memory lives on one cache at a time. Also, I am not far from the Poconos! I am originally from Harveys Lake and currently reside in Wilkes Barre/Scranton Area. We are currently approaching peak season for fall foliage, I would absolutely miss that if I moved from the area. For anyone who would like to discover my replacement TB: In Loving Memory Tom Lynch (12/21/93-2/13/12) .......TOM.LYNCH..... .............TB.2.0.......... ............@....@........... .......@.............@ ...... ...@.....................@... .@..........................@. ....@...@@@@...@.... ....@@@@@@@@... ....@@@@@@@@... .......@@@@@@....... .......@@@@@@....... ....@@@@@@@@.... ....@@@@@@@@.... .....@....@@@....@..... .......@..............@....... ............@......@........... ......DISCOVER.ME..... ..........2HQ7T1...........

When I released this I was living in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania and had no idea that 3 years later I would be living in Florida. A few days before what would have been our 20th wedding anniversary I got notified that Kevin was placed about an hour from my new home in Florida. I took this as a sign that he was still watching over me. I reached out to Jbean who had taken him from his new Florida location and told her the story of how Kevin had apparently followed me to Florida and how we would have been celebrating a milestone anniversary if he were still on earth . She kindly offered to return him to me. Kevin is now safely home with me, he arrived with a lovely note from Jbean and a pathtag. My plans are to place him in a shadowbox along side his veterans funeral flag. I also plan on submitting this story to FTF. Time will tell if they find the story of this travel bug as amazing as I did. Thank you everyone who helped Kevin in his travels. A special thank you to JBean for helping him fly home. You are a very special human being.
