This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Amaterasu and the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe is a Geocaching HQ Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If 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:

This TB is in a race with a numer of other trackables from Japan to Harrisonburg, Virginia, USA, where the TB needs to find it's way to the cache "Let Them Fly: A TB Hotel" (GC5WF4E).

 

Amaterasu, as any one in Japan probably knows, is the Shinto sun Goddess and believed to be foremother of the Japanese Imperial family. In the past we have had trackables with other solar themed names, so this seemed to fit as this TB hopes to arrive in Japan.

The Knights of the Golden Horseshoe Expedition took place in 1716, when the Royal Governor of Virginia led an expedition across the Blue Ridge Mountains. This was the first visit of Virginians to the Harrisonburg region. Hopefully our TB will complete a long expedition to Harrisonburg, Virginia.
