This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Joseph Whitehouse 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:

Joseph Whitehouse was a private with the Lewis and Clark Expedition and this trackable's goal is to travel the Lewis and Clark Trail.

Born in Fairfax County, Virginia in 1776

On the way out, I travelled up the Missouri River from St. Louis eventually making it to the mouth of the Columbia River. On the way home, I travelled to Three Forks, Montana with Captain Clark. I then canoed down the Missouri River to St. Louis, Missouri.

By the time you read this mission, I may have strayed far from the trail. That's OK, just move it along. Detours make interesting travels.

You can retrace my journey with the Lewis and Clark expedition at Google Map:
