About This Item

Anthony (proxy 2) Lego Gold Brick Key Chain

I love finding trackables in caches. So, it has become my habit to launch ten new trackables into the wild each spring. In 2009, I launched ten gold ingots each heading to one of the ten best colleges in the United States (as ranked by Forbes Magazine, 2008). In 2010, I launched ten little turtles to visit each county in Oregon. In 2011, I launched ten unicorns each heading to one of the world’s most romantic cities. And in2012, I launched ten compass roses to visit each continent of the world.
 
These ingots are each named for the president of the college they wish to attend: (1)  Alfred, Swarthmore College, PA; (2)  Anthony, Amherst College, MA; (3)  Drew, Harvard, MA; (4)  Franklin, West Poin, NY; (5)  Jean-Lou, CALTEC, Pasadena, CA; (6)  Kim, Wellesley College, MA; (7)  Lee, Columbia University, NY; (8)  Morton, Williams College, MA; (9)  Richard, Yale, CT; and (10) Shirley, Princeton, NJ.

Anthony is named for the president of Amherst College, Anthony Marx.  

  • In March 2011, Anthony went missing in Pennsylvania after trying to get to Massachusetts for 2 years.  He traveled 1300 miles.

  • In September 2012, having been missing for more than a year, I activated a proxy made from a coin holder, featuring an image of the original travel bug.  This proxy traveled for 7 months before it went missing in April 2013 in South Dakota.

  • In June 2015, having been missing for two years, I am activating a 2nd proxy.

I found back the memory card of my previous mobile phone, so I took the trouble of retrieving all TB codes I had on there. Some of these I may have logged already.
In any case: thanks for sharing!
