[Are You Missing A Plushy Blue Travel Bug?]

I just caught wind of this thread by means of the following message (I am obviously way behind on my email) and just spent an hour following the whole thing, wow, I got the message because I had Sophia on my watchlist because she passed through my cache and my house some years ago, go look at the picture http://img.geocaching.com/track/log/1745_200.JPG of her that we posted then. Sophia was outfitted by my son André, this was, after all, Thanksgiving, 2001.

 

Anyway, the mystery is not over, remember, there was a tag in some of the pictures so even if Ozzy is gone, the tag may still be there, buried within unimaginable matter in the nest. I think the person charged with maintaining the camera ought to be enlisted (paid, even) to go and retrieve it, in a way the tag is more important towards identifying the source of the object of all the entertainment--I for one, would sure like to know if it was Sophia, even if she did disappear in Nevada.

 

That is not my only connection to the thread, Planet is my cousin, I am the one who introduced her to Geocaching / foisted her upon you all, (sorry Planet ) and she also mentioned in this thread Klawed, who is my sister.

 

So I legitimately have a need to know! And thanks, Sparrowhawk, for your post!

This bear has been the possible subject of a kidnapping by an OSPREY which has been keeping in it it's nest.

[Does anyone else seem to have this problem?]

I think the reason so many TB's go missing is that many cachers simply don't know what they are and treat them as simply some nice widget they found in the cache, for example, gee, what a nice teddy bear, I'll give it to so and so and forget about it. First time I found one that's what I thought, and didn't realize till I took a close look at it later figured out what the deal was with the tag.
