This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

New Jersey's Rotating Flag 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:

Take me home to New Jersey. Take photos along the way. The buff color of the NJ State flag dates back to 1779 and the NJ Regiments mustered for the Revolutionary War. The color was chosen by General Washington when he was directed by the Continental Congress to prescribe the uniform for the regiments of the New Jersey Continental Line. Washington directed that the coats of the soldiers should be dark blue faced with buff. These colors were chosen by General Washington to honor the original Dutch settlers of New Jersey. Dark Blue and Buff were the colors of Holland or the Netherlands. On 2/28,1780 the Continental War Officers directed that each regiment should carry two flags; one that of the United States and the other a state flag that should be the color of the Uniform facing and the NJ State Flag has carried that color with it for over 200 years. In 1896, New Jersey made it official and properly described the New Jersey State Flag in a joint resolution of the legislature.
