This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Caleb's Travel Bug Dog Tag #3 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:

Our son Caleb who lost his battle with Budd-Chiari Syndrome* (see below) in April 2019.  Caleb loved geocaching.  He would race his brothers to caches and pronounce his superior skills much to the chagrin of his brothers.  Since his life was cut short and he did not get to travel much outside of the state of Iowa we would like to see these travel bug's go around the world for Caleb.  Bug #2 carries a football on the key chain it is attached to. Bug #3 and #4 has a picture of Caleb attached.  Football, specifically New England Patriots football, was his other passion.  Julian Edelman was his hero.  The smile on Caleb's face in February 2019 when Julian won the MVP was priceless.  Travel on little bug, travel on!

*Budd-Chiari Syndrome is a rare liver disease where the hepatic veins become narrowed or occluded.  There is no known cause for the syndrome.  The only treatment that cures the syndrome is a liver transplant.  Unfortunately Caleb lost his battle before a donated liver could arrive.  Visit www,rarediseases.org to find out nore about Budd-Chiari and other rare diseases that do not get researched due to their  rare occurence.  If you feel so moved, feel free to donate to the rare disease organization.
