iwing Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Howdy all! I got a TB that's been out for a year now, and is having a little trouble finding it's destination. It's a memorial TB for a guy who died of cancer at an early age, but was responsible for getting some of us turned on to Geocaching. Right now it's in Tennessee, and we're trying to get it to Nebraska by August. If you happen to be out that way, would you give it a lift? Thanks a bunch!

+sbell111 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 If I was near Crossville, I'd get it for you. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I am moving your thread to the South and Southeast Forum, where it's more likely to be noticed by people who can maybe help out, and so it doesn't get buried on the next page of this faster-moving forum. As an aside, I was glad to be able to work with this gentleman's family and the local geocaching organization last year to ensure that all of his caches got adopted and maintained as a tribute to his memory.

beegirl13 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I'm going by Crossville on my way west to Middle TN (an hour east of Nashville) for Easter. I can try to swing by there if nobody's gotten it by then. Have you tried contacting the cache owners? There's an event tomorrow and Sunday (yeah sort of short notice) in East TN and lots of people will be exchanging TBs to take in all directions there. Not sure if the cache owners will be in attendance, but it's worth a shot. Quote Link to comment
beegirl13 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Still planning to try to rescue this TB on Thursday. I'll try my best, but there are 2 problems that I am seeing right now: 1. I have recently discovered that I am actually quite bad at caching when alone. I never realized how much I relied on my caching partner until he wasn't nearby. 2. From what I have seen on the news, parts of Crossville don't really exist anymore. Bad storms (possible tornados, haven't heard anything official yet) hit the area last Friday. I guess I'll see when I get there if the cache is accessible and present. Cross your fingers for me! Quote Link to comment
iwing Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for ya beegirl. Good luck, and thank you! Quote Link to comment
beegirl13 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Didn't find the cache In my log I did ask if anyone in the area could move the bug for you. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I guess I could try again next time I go by there, but it might be about a month with final exams, etc. Hopefully someone will come along in the meantime. Quote Link to comment
iwing Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Thanks for trying! Quote Link to comment
+LSUMonica Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Just sent a note to the cache owners to see if they could confirm the cache was still there. I will be in the vacinity of the cache location this weekend and if they think the cache is still there, I may be able to attempt the rescue. LSUmonica Quote Link to comment
+LSUMonica Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sorry to note this but I checked with the cache owners this weekend. They were doing a maintenance check before I went looking for it, and discovered the final cache and TB went missing. Quote Link to comment
