This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

The Swimming Salmon is a Travel Bug Dog Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

Trackable ItemIf you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

My mission is two-fold. 1) To beat my son and hubby's TB's in mileage. 2) To travel the world visiting beautiful and/or unique waterways. A bonus would be to visit some spawning grounds!

 

***update 3/2/14***  It has been three years and this TB is currently in second place behind hubby's TB.  But what is so cool to me is that it left the United States, traveled around Europe for a while and is now back in the US!  Hubby and little man's TB's have both made it to Europe as well and are getting lots of miles but I love how mine is "coming home".  Would be VERY cool to see this little guy again...so please try to send him swimming back the the West Coast and Oregon(Southern Oregon in particular) thanks to all the awesome cachers out there who have helped this TB remain on course.  It has seem many beautiful and interesting sites and waterways all over the world...I'm jealous!!!  New mission:  keep racking up miles, but send me home to the Rogue River in Gold Hill, Oregon!!!  Pics would be great.

Thanks to all and happy caching!
