This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

8.1.2000 is a Travel Bug Dog 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 bug commemorates the day in August 2000 when my brother and I were each hit by lightning in Yellowstone National Park.

This bug would like to visit areas near some of our camping adventures (though of course there are no caches in the national parks): Yellowstone NP; Glacier NP; the national parks of Utah; Yosemite and Sequoia NPs; Redwoods NP; the Canadian Rockies.

Just don't hang on to it for too long, or you might be the next one struck!
