It has been too hot to
geocache all summer long. Almost 70 days in a row of 100+ temps, so the kids and I have stayed inside as much as possible.
We went on a road trip to California back in June and early July. I did a little
geocaching along the way, but mainly I hit a couple close to my Aunt and Uncle's house in San Clemente, California. We brought back one travel bug,
Eyela the Travel Bug Elf, from the trip.
The bug stayed here at the house until today. The Princess had carried away the Bug and little elf fairy that was attached to it. Once the Travel bug turned up last week I realized that we needed to get it back into play ASAP. This morning I walked to the
closest cache to our house and dropped the Travel Bug Fairy in. I hope she makes some good miles now.
For my birthday Father of Five sent me a Travel Bug tag of my own to activate. I have been thinking for a while about what to send out into the world attached to my Travel Bug. This morning I decide to make a little wooden chicken to release to the
Geocaching wilds, but I broke the chicken before it was finished.
I decided to go with a simpler design and I found a left over wooden wheel from back in my toy making days. Once appropriately decorated, stained and clear-coated, it was time to release my own Travel Bug.

I was going to release
Rolling Along from Austin, Texas by leaving it in one of my own
geocaches. Instead, I went in search of a hide that I could not get to last Spring.
Tallyran Temptation turned out to be a tough hide, but I found it and dropped my Travel Bug off for another '
cacher to move along for me.
Hopefully the travel Bug and I can both keep on rolling now that the summer heat is starting to dissipate.
