Current Goal

1. PRIMARY GOAL - Partner with a geocacher (YOU) for continued movement… ANYWHERE you are going is good.

2. Now that we have met… request a timely “new” TB log post: Retrieve, Grab, Discover, or Note as appropriate to your encounter is appreciated.

3. When this TB is partnered with a geocacher  (YOU)… please let the TB share your geocache GZ experience/activity when you post to cache log by also activating a corresponding trackable log post of: Visit (aka dip) or Drop, as appropriate. Quantity is okay, really! (You and TB get rank & recognition progression with logged activity)

4. You are invited to enhance your adventure by considering participation in this TB's military style reconnaissance/recce themed scenario presented as follows.

MISSION of Master Corporal Wes T. Blackridge is to partner with a local "scout” (and that will be YOU) then perform patrol activities that are consistent with objective and goal when possible. 

OBJECTIVE is to perform reconnoiter patrols, at will, for target acquisition, surveillance, identification and assessment for the “Task Force.”  (Translation - log cache/GZ finds/visits)

GOAL is for trackable holders (YOU) to interact, role play, submit "situation report" (aka SITREP) and transmit surveillance photos, when able, to Task Force Operations aka call sign Wood Dragon.  (Translation - add some text to the TB log post and share a photo)

TARGETED DESTINATION is to visit all Austrailian states/territories, capital cities, and when possible have a picture of TB with capitol/legislative/parliment building in background. Otherwise, island hopping or activities in terrain that matches uniform is preferred.

About This Item

Field Corporal Wes T. Blackridge

THEMED SCENARIO

A fictitious military style reconnaissance, or recce, themed scenario for interactive role play is available. A description of campaigns, missions, rank, skill levels, awards, maps, etc. can be found clicking HERE.

DRAGON-5 is the call sign for the trackable/TB. The hitchhiker is named Master Corporal Wes T. Blackridge and is a team leader assigned to 24th Recce Unit (Oceania). By partnering with this trackable, you will assume the scout position for this deployed team. Your activities (reconnoiter patrols) are in support of “Task Force” objectives.

HQ COMMUNICATION - A member of our group (ID: Wood_Dragon), when available, will act as call sign "Wood Dragon" (higher command) and provide "radio calls" and mission opportunities via TB log note entries. You are welcome to role play as much as you desire. Have fun  and safe journeys! 

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION - The TB configuration in circulation for this travel bug ID is a 3.75-inch tall desert sand/tan camoflauged tactical uniformed figurine with sand colored "boonie" hat, brown colored boots & gloves. (As pictured above) A small rectangle shaped metal "military styled ID dog tag" trackable (handcrafted) tag is attached to the figurine's back with a ring and pin. The original TB ID code is stamped on the tag in red color with basic mission statement and the letter "A" also in red color stamped in one corner. On the tag's other side is a QR code image; if scanned will link to this TB's web page. A gold heart shaped "lucky charm" is also attached that his "girl" back home has given to him.

WHEN TOUR OF DUTY ENDS - Human to human direct transfer is preferred, whenever possible, to assure team leader safety and longevity. Otherwise, traditional Geocache placement (drop) is requested. Please, no event table drop-offs.

 TRACKABLE NOTE   - I want to thank Pepsifest for gifting this trackable tag. Her support and assistance goes beyond just this tag.
