Found a Red Jeep named for our previous caching area...

[+Sagefox]

A Red Jeep travel bug showed up unannounced at a cache not far from our home in Olympia, WA. No log action, no note in a bag, no indication of its name or who put it there. When I got home I discovered that it is named after the Navarro River on the coast of the California where we lived for 30 years.

 

Whoa! A chance to deliver a Red Jeep to its namesake river in our old home territory? I'll take on that duty. We spent our first 5 1/2 geocaching years in Mendocino County, CA and placed at least 3 caches along the Navarro River which is 13 miles from our old home.

 

We plan to deliver this traveler to the nearest cache as listed in the link on the Red Jeep page. Dimmick Without A Gimmick is one of my favorite caches and it's a little toughie consistently with more dnf's than finds. In fact, it is the site of our 100th dnf which I proudly list on our profile page.

 

The Navarro River is 700 miles from our current home. This will be a fun cache run.

Thats nice that you are going out of your way for this tb.

I dont think it's a good idea to leave it out of the cahce container tho, it will get lost very very easily. Even if when you left it, it was right on top, there's nothing to keep it there.

Why don't you dip it into this cache and place it in another cache.

I notice there is an amo can cache 3.8 miles away from DWAG

Yes, thanks dorgie. I thought of that too and the cache to the west is my backup should Dimmick prove unsecure. Plus, I have not been to that cache so it would be double the fun to add the Jeep and it is still on the Navarro River.

 

The way that Dimmick is hidden, however, makes it possible for me to put the Jeep in a modified toilet paper core and add camo tape to it to match that of Dimmick. Then I plan on attaching the jeep container to the cache container. They will be approximately the same diameter and the attachment will be non-invasive. If, when I get to the site, my plan appears safe then I will leave the Jeep. If not your suggestion will be the perfect backup.

Mission accomplished!

Nice move

 

It would be fun to have a new batch of jeeps (or some other different, unique icon, trackable 'promotional' item) released at random locations around the world. I did wonder whether GSP might create something special for the 10 Year anniversary (special Mini-Me Signals?)... but no... not so far.
