Alert to Geocachers inbetween Pensacola FL and Owen Sound ON

[+His_little_lamb]

My family and I are going on a 2 month bicycle trip from Pensacola, Florida to Owen Sound, Ontario (following the Underground railroad) and I'm going to see which can get to Owen Sound first, me (and the travelbug I'll carry with me) or the travel bug I'll leave in Pensacola.

 

If you live around Pensacola please be on the lookout for a new travel bug a cache near you on April 30th. I have yet to receive the travelbugs so I haven't named them yet. I'll update this thread one I have their tracking names and names.

 

If you live anywhere between Pensacola and Owen Sound and come across it, please move it on quickly. Its goal is to get to any cache with in 5 miles of Owen Sound before me. Please help it not to sit stuck in some cache no one ever visits.

 

If this is off topic and only belongs in the travelbug section then I apologize to the moderators. I put it here because I wanted to get the message out to geocachers who weren't looking in the travel bug section

Moving to the proper forum.

 

By the way, make sure you have a note inside a ziploc that clearly states the goal of your TBug. Few people read the forums, few would probably remember this while caching (I know I wouldn't), and the note *with* the TBug will do much more to aid in your request.

For your Underground Railroad trip make sure you check out these two caches in Battle Creek, MI

GC8FC5---a geocache at a beautiful bronze statue in tribute to the Underground RR and also

GCXN4X---a geocache in the cemetery where Erastus Hussey (a stationmaster for the Underground RR)

and Sojourner Truth are buried.
