This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Drake's First Adventure 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:

Update Aug 22, 2017: Only one Canadian province left before this trackable needs to come home: Quebec!!

Like his namesake, Sir Francis Drake, my infant son was born to travel. Before he was 3 weeks old, we set out toward a family reunion in Wisconsin and a baby shower in Ontario. On that trip, Drake visited 10 US states and 5 Canadian provinces. The mission of this travel bug is to visit at least one cache in each of the states and provinces we went to on the trip, and then come home (anywhere in the Halifax, NS area!). The states and provinces are as follows (the ones that have been visited by the TB have been crossed off):

US States:

1. Maine
2. New Hampshire
3. Massachusetts
4. New York
5. Pennsylvania
6. Ohio
7. Indiana
8. Illinois
9. Wisconsin
10. Minnesota

Canadian Provinces:

1. Ontario
2. Quebec
3. New Brunswick
4. Prince Edward Island
5. Nova Scotia
