Travel bugs seem to regularly disappear from urban caches and at caching events. Please drop this item in rural or Premium Member Only caches. Transport the bug in the original plastic bag for as long as the bag lasts—then the chain and tag won't tangle with other items. Otherwise, take this bug everywhere—no permission is needed to leave the US.
The flag was adopted in 1915, and features elements of the official state seal, including a bald eagle and the Stars and Stripes shield. The three state seals subsequently used in Illinois' history differed from the territorial seals in that the eagle held a banner in its beak with the words of the state motto, "State Sovereignty, National Union." The words "Seal of the State of Illinois" and the date "Aug. 26, 1818," the date that the first Illinois Constitution was signed in Kaskaskia, appeared between the circles.
