This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Our First Travel Bug 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:

So my family recently started Geocaching and my 5 year old son is really into it. I want to use this experience to teach him about the 50 states; hey you're never too young to start!

So the mission is to see all 50 states - and then travel back to us in New York (Hudson Valley/Catskills Region). When you find this bug, please post a picture. For example, take a picture of either those who found it, or of something that is near the cache or unique to your state. This may be hard in lots of locations, but if you find the bug near Mt. Rushmore, take a pic of Mt. Rushmore. If you find it on the beach in California, take a picture of something on the beach.  If you have time, also post a quick note about the area where the bug was found or the place where you live.  Make it interesting!

Please keep our bug moving, and help to keep my 5 year old excited about our new hobby and all he (and we) can learn about this great country of ours!

Thanks fellow Geocacher, and best to you and yours!
