For those familiar with Geocaching ( www.geocaching.com ) , I released a
"Centennial of Flight" Travel Bug today, a 1/100th scale diecast model of
the Wright Flyer, from the Centennial State. It's goal is to land at all 50
states, especially Kitty Hawk, NC.

For the unfamiliar, a geocache is usually a container of some sort, hidden,
but the lat/long coordinates and/or clues are given on how to find it.
Travel Bugs are things you put in the caches with specific goals in mind -
they travel from cache to cache. Some have gone around the world,
repeatedly. The bug itself is a dog tag. You attach it to an item, in this
case a small airplane.

I planned on going flying, and still could. The weather is clear, the winds
are fierce, but I'm a little under the weather myself, as are the kids.

Happy Centennial, Chris
