This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Sir Topham Hatt 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 trackable is dedicated to my boy, who, for the first many years of his life, was absolutely enthralled with Thomas and Friends and Thomas and the Magic Railroad. We always enjoyed the fact that these stories promoted friendship and having a positive outlook on life. Traits that will stand the test of time.

Sir Topham Hatt was a key character in these stories and his leadership is what kept that place running as smoothly as is it did. So, I thought who would be better to manage a hide placed in an area so very rich with railroad history. Thankfully, he has agreed to come out of retirement (well, at least he’s been retired in our home for over 10 years now) to take over management of Xallkin’s Travel Bug Rest Stop and keep an eye on things moving forward.

When you discover Sir Topham Hatt you will notice that he is “stuck” to his new post and has no intentions of ever leaving. You will also notice that he has turned in his top hat and coat for stripes.

Safe journeys my friends… :)
