This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

"Old Snapping Turtle" 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 stretched penny with the image of General George G. Meade, nicknamed 'Old Snapping Turtle" for his sharp temper, is being released into the world very near the military installation named in his honor (Fort Meade, MD). He is dedicated to joecool, father figure of the Weatherston Zoo Crew and longtime military service member and who is retiring soon. We want 'Old Snapping Turtle' to travel the world and visit military-related places of interest: battlefields, cemetaries, museums, bases, etc.
