Please drop this item in rural OR Premium Member Only caches. Do not place it in an urban cache or abandon it at a caching event. Transport the bug in the original plastic bag for as long as the bag lasts; the bag keeps the trackable clean, protects the number and prevents tangling with other items. Otherwise, take the travel bug anywhere you wish. No permission is needed to leave the U.S.
Travel bug photos are appreciated. I will re-post them here, where they can be seen by other cachers.
This is one of a series of large beads obtained from different places and converted into travel bugs. They are named for Texas towns with interesting names or histories.
Nemo is in eastern Somervell County. Settlement of the community may have begun as early as 1858. Originally, it was called Johnson Station after Jimmie Johnson, one of the first settlers to arrive in the area. Postal authorities, however, suggested that a shorter name be submitted. When residents met to choose a name, the story goes, one man stood up and argued for the name Nemo, which he said was Latin for no one. He argued that if Jimmie Johnson's name was not good enough "then no one's was." In 1893 a post office branch was established. Nemo had thirty residents, two churches, three businesses, a school, and a cotton gin. The population increased from thirty-five in 1910 to fifty-six in 1990, where it remained in 2000.
