Keepin' It Green is Traveling the World

Last year, Troop 505 planted a travel bug that we named "Keepin' It Green Frog" in a our troop's local cache a.k.a. Keepin' It Green. The TB promptly headed out of Evansville and traveled east. She quickly crossed the ocean and stayed in the Czech area for many months. Now she is traveling in Germany. She is a pretty lucky frog to be traveling the world!

We haven't been caching much lately, but we did have to replace the cache noted above after someone stole the original, container and all. We're waiting for the reviewer to re-activate it now. While we were in Wesselman's Park, we decided to find two caches that we didn't have yet. Now I'm ready to cache some more! There's a new letterbox hybrid near our home that I hope to get later today.

Later today: We did find the letterbox hybrid (GC29PJX) and it's pretty cool. What's funny is that we passed by this location the other day on our way into town and there was a truck parked nearby. I even commented out loud that it was weird that some one was parked up there and wondered if something fishy was going on. Well, today, we were the fishy ones parking there. :) We also found a really interesting cache (GC25Y17) today, a type of hide that we hadn't seen before. I should have been the one to find it as I had the right idea, but I didn't discover it on initial instinct. Jim saw what I did and tried again and he was the finder. :) Very fun!
