This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Alsatian Emigree is a Travel Bug Dog Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

Trackable ItemIf 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:

Al went missing in January 2012 when the cache (http://coord.info/GC30D6A) he was in disappeared. If you happen to have found him, please contact a friend who may be into geocaching or email vheintz@gmail.com for instructions on how you may help him resume his adventure.

This bug's mission is to go on a "genocache" adventure. Alsatian Emigree (nicknamed "Al") wants to visit the birthplaces of my family's ancestors in Europe before making the journey to the USA. Al wants to visit interesting places along the way and hopefully have you take pictures and upload them here. Pictures of Al at his goals would be especially appreciated.
