Destination Afghanistan II Travel Bug

While attending the 1st Annual Jackson Area GeoRace/Challenge, Tiger130 handed me a travel bug, Destination Afghanistan II since everyone knew I would be deploying to the Middle East in a few months. I informed the travel bug owner of my pending deployment and asked me to hold onto the bug and take it to Kuwait. Generally, travel bugs should only be held for about 2 weeks. While in Texas, I dropped and picked up the bug in a cache to give the bug 1.047 miles and another state. A few days before I was scheduled to depart, I was held back for a medical condition and I handed the bug to soldiermama and she took it to Kuwait and once I arrived in theater, I grabbed the bug from her. I dropped the bug in Mr. Mister, probably the safest cache in regard to muggle raiding. Airroster took the bug to a cache at Ali Al Salem for a better chance of reaching the final destination. Ali Al Salem in the entry and exit point for many service members that rotate to Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan and other countries in the region.

I am happy to report that on June 8, 2010, the travel bug made it to it's destination, a cache called Dragon Village in Afghanistan. Since then the bug has been bouncing from cache to cache in the war zone.
