Current Goal

This bug is for the first finder. It needs to be placed in a new cache for the first finder to grab. This means it only goes in brand new caches.

If you grab this bug you will need to create a new cache in a different town or city so the bug can continue it's journey.

If you choose not to create a new cache, please pass it on to someone you know who IS creating a new cache. The idea here is to get more new caches created.

About This Item

HAPPINESS

The story begins: Fractual at Clone of my own Bonus—--As First finder

“Quote” I did break a rule though... And honestly, I don't feel bad about it one bit. I had nothing to leave in the cache(I left my only radioactive marble in the non-bonus of this cache), but I did take something... To make myself feel a little better about not trading, I decided that the object I took was left there as a prize for the first finder... (my SECOND first find of the day! 2 points for fractal ) I just had to have it... Actually, I needed one of these the other day... It was a long wooden spoon! But not just any wooden spoon... It was the First Finder Wooden Spoon of Success and Happiness!

Or you can think of it this way... I had to take it because hey, do you honestly think anyone else would have taken it???

He then proceded to make a Event cache only travel bug. This can be seen at ** THE SPANKING SPOON ** (TB1351)

The second spoon was done by Bazzel “First Finder Spoon Of Happiness And Success” (TBB832) This one is staying in the Portland Oregon Area to promote new caches.

This is the third by SuziQ “First Finder Spoon Of Success and Happiness” This is a “Twin” of the second. And its objective is to be placed in a new cache like its brother but this one must travel to a different town or city to be placed. This is to promote an expanded area to cache in.

So please place it in a new cache in a diferent town and spread the joy.

dropping spoon here so it gets credit for being in the cache

Retrieve It from a Cache 7/5/2004 pdxmarathonman retrieved it from TB B&B Oregon   Visit Log

Grabbed the spoon from the woefully decrepit B&B along Firelane 5 (actually it is just the surroundings that are decrepit).

I figured since the spoon should never have be relegated to a TB lounge that I would just rescue it without regard for the silly rule that there needs to be a certain number of hostages in the cache at all times. It is a travel bug after all, not a hotel bug.

Will launch in a new cache soon....likely either a puzzle or an event (no hot tip, this is, of course, kiwimonster writing this).

Against my better judgement, I went out to retrieve this one in the dark, sub-zero, snowy weather IN MY DRESS CLOTHES! Was frozen solid by the time I returned. I'm not sure about how much Happiness there was, but I was difinately successful.
