Ok, here's the reply I got back from Pto. I wouldn't be able to do a
face-to-face pickup and not sure if I could get to the Airport/I-70 TB motel
before someone else picked up the bug. Would any member who lives in north
county, and might be heading out to Franklin Co. in the near future, be able
to at least pick it up from the TB motel on the 24th? Just let me know and
I'll send a reply to Pto. Thanks.

Greetings!
First, thanks a TON for the offer!! Rochester MN is near enough for me to
maybe even go grab myself, even if it takes a couple months to get up
there - Im OK
with that, and its great for me! This would be ideal for me-I have friends
there, so Its a Win Win deal for me :)
The bug is coming into St. Louis on Sun. the 24th, with the best opportunity
for an exchange on the 24th, since Puppers is busy on a work trip. She is
coming
into the airport somewhere aroud 5pm, but needs some time to get a rental
car, etc. She thinks easiest, nearest cache is "St. Louis Airport/I-70 TB
motel" but
has generously offered to maybe alternately meet someone in person, or
other...?
Any way to get someone to get my Tbug would be OK with me- but If you can
help me choose a good candidate to meet up, exchange/etc, help to ensure
Puppers a safe exchange - that helps a ton! This is up to Puppers on
who/when/etc- I dont care so much on the "integertity" of the drop - if its
not a cache, Im OK with that-But again- Puppers will have the final call on
where they will drop it, or who/when they would meet. I just want
everything to be safe, easy - and mostly Fun for
all of us, and hope Im not sounding overly cautious...
Getting this bug home has become an interesting adventure for me, but seems
to have also become very important to me, so I have to again stress how much
I
appreciate everyones help with this!! It really humbles me how much people I
have never met, and pretty much begged for help are willing to offer
there time, effort to help me - someone they never met, and maybe never
will?. I have worked the last 15+ years in office environments where people
would pretty
much let you catch on fire, and look away if it interrupted their cofffe
break- and those were the ones you knew for years..... Co-workers arent
cachers,
for sure !!!!
Please be sure to "reply to all" since I have copy'd Puppers, and want us
all to know whats what-
Thanks again, and lets be in touch!

I contacted Pto because I should be heading to Rochester, MN, in the next couple months for my nephew's baptism. Told him if a more concrete offer didn't come his way I could give his TB a ride. If puppers is flying into St. Louis and has to drop the bug in the city, I might request some assistance from one of you fellow cachers in getting it out closer to Union for me to pick up.

Greetings:
I have a travel bug that has made a Crazy, 1 year 14000+ mile trip around the world, and is apparently going to be coming in to the St. Louis area in the next couple weeks.
My username is Pto and the Travelbug I am talking about is (my very first)Tbug - TBEFA8 "Loner the Red Light", aka: http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=61352
The most recrnt cachers to grab him are listed as "Puppers" (http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=e15589b1-e4f4-4546-8482-c4615236670a)
In the most recent log they posted, it seems he's headed your way? (""I'm heading to St. Louis in two weeks, that should get this bug a little closer to home!"")
I plan to contact them tomorrow- Tues- to see about where they will be, but I figured Id try and get the ball rolling & try and hook up a ride North from your area.
Im looking for some help from anyone in the area that might have reason to be traveling to MN,WI,IA,MI etc, or that could help me out in Any way. I Really am amazed at the adventure this bug, again my first-has had in this last year....
so Id really like to try and see if I can get him home, which was always part of his original goal..
Anyway, Its late tonight, so I plan to hit the local sites tomorrow - and post this same info, but I wanted to get this started sooner than later.
Any help, or Email addy'd, etc you could provide is Greatly Appreciated!
Thanks so much for the time-
Pete (aka Pto)
