So much for my theory that greedygreenfrog's Greedy Green Frog Adventure Guide would be stuck in a German TB Hotel for some time, as it has already been collected by German cacher thuladog!

In other news; something to please geohunter-x after he posted a note pleading for someone to take his Horsey Neigh Neigh Travel Bug overseas. Georgia, U.S.A. based cachers swisscache have retrieved his TB and are planning to take it home to The Peach State next week. I wonder if that will be by boat?

Update! Geohunter-X's Horsey Neigh Neigh collected from a cache that it wasn't in

Experienced cacher bleaklow has collected geohunter-x's Horsey Neigh Neigh, not from the cache that it was listed as being in, but from one 0.13 of a mile away. The previous holder of the TB, simonwarnes, visited both caches on the same day, so at the moment I'm acting on the belief that he accidentally logged it into the wrong cache (although it is possible that Horsey was moved by a third party) and as the difference is so small no adjustment in distance will be made at the moment.
