This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Butcher 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:

Butcher's original mission (2004) was to make it to Alaska in time to see the Iditarod. Since the passing of legendary musher Susan Butcher in 2006, her goal has been to honor the sacrifices of the original Anchorage-to-Nome sled dogs and their courageous mushers, as well as those in the current Iditarod races.
