Current Goal

Since this compass points South, I think it ought to go that way. Please drop it off as far south as possible.

About This Item

I've had this compass for over 15 years. One day I pulled it out, and realized it had somehow reversed polarity. Now it points South instead of North. Good thing I've got a GPSr to tell me where I am going now.

As recorded in the logs for LOB cache, this TB was stolen when the cache was destroyed in late 2003. Emails to the owner have not produced any results so I am moving the bug to a heaven for lost travel bugs.

This bug was stolen from LOB Cash Cache sometime between 12/26-01/08,2004. Sure hope it surfaces. It's value far exceeds the petty cash that was stolen.

Sorry that I did not log in here--I only logged in on the cache page. This is my first TB and to complicate things, I was on an antiquated computer and it was taking forever to get from page to page. I picked the TB up in Rock Springs on October 26. Ironic (or is it?) that I chose this TB out of the half a dozen or so that were in the cache, since I planned to head south soon. We travelled togehter to Jackson where we stayed a few days. We left ahead of the cold front and experienced 60 MPH winds along I-80. We ran right smack inot the Denver fires and spent the night in Colordo Springs. We ended up in Portales, New Mexico where we are on military assignment at Cannon AFP. I will put Bad Directions in a Portales cache this afternoon and log back in when the deed is done. We have enjoyed the journey.
