After seeing so many sad stories about lost travel bugs, and up until this week having both of my beloved bugs disappear from the face of the earth, I was totally psyched to see in my mailbox a couple weeks ago that:
"Location: Texas, United States
HalDodd placed more cowbell (Travel Bug Dog Tag) in Room for one more
at 12/10/2005"
:D
The reason I was so surprised is that "More Cowbell" had been taken from a cache on Februrary 7th!
10 months!!!!
While I'm not very happy that it was "in transit" for so long (I'd written it off months ago) I'm grateful that the holder found it in his heart to put it back in circulation.
10 months... That makes me wonder -- what's the longest a bug has gone missing and yet still found it's way back to a cache?
Keep hope alive for all of the missing...
