Hitchhiker caught by Justintime
Posted on February 13th, 2005 by

The hiker was in the hands of Justintime, who was kind enough to send me a picture!. Apparently, dotSphinx is in great condition and is on his way west. He dropped him in Big T' Travelers Inn (Version 2.0) cache to begin his journey westerly in the direction of the big state of CA.

It's been a while since I heard something from the hiker, but finally some positive news came in. He is currently located in Summerville, SC:

Picked him up yesterday in School of Fish Cache . I do not have access to a digital camera at this time. He is currently at my home in Summerville, SC. We will try to get him westward bound.

The Hitchhiker has arrived in the United States, great! He appears to be somewhere in North Carolina, somewhere near the Shearon Harris reservoir. Unfortunately, nobody so far has sent any digital photographs, which is a bit of a shame. Here is the log entry:

"I found dotSphinx yesterday in the cache "rad, aka glow in the dark" ( GCJJ4P ) at the Summer Fun event (GCJG8X). I'll be moving dotSphinx on soon. Thanks!"
Reboot and retry

The hiker is back where it started: it is at the Travellers on Holiday hotel again. I noticed that Dekromme was going to visit this cache before going on holiday to the USA, and mailed Team Aragorn to see if they could pick him up. So they did, thanks, Team Aragorn!

"DotSphinx wants to go to America. Its owner asked us to drop it in 'Travellers on Holiday' because a lift had already been arranged from there to Florida....
Hitchhiker dotSphinx re-launched!
Posted on April 25th, 2004 by

Today I finally got to re-launch my Hitchhiker. Until today, I just could not find the time to set the hiker free again, after we returned it home from the Travellers on Holiday . We dropped him off at Eindhoven's Kwartet Noord-Oost . This cache is very frequently visited, so there is a very high probability that it will make its next move within one or two weeks.

Belgium, here we come!

The hiker has left the Netherlands! Ronpeer was so kind to place him just over the border in the Kattenboscache .

Hitchhiker dotSphinx brought home
Posted on February 28th, 2004 by

It turns out that the Travellers on Holiday cache hardly gets any visits. And, history shows that it takes quite a while for travellers to actually get out of the cache. This (and the fact that I wanted to show the hitchhiker to my brother who happened to be in the Netherlands for his job) made me decide to return the hitchhiker home.

By the way, on the way home, my one year old son pulled the little chain too...

Hitchhiker dotSphinx unleashed
Posted on January 25th, 2004 by

We finally set our hitchhiker free, and dropped him off at Travellers on Holiday , a cache that collects travel bugs willing to travel internationally. I sure hope they accept hitchikers as well. Anyway, it is not your typical cache as you can tell by looking at the photo.

Let's hope the hitchhiker can make its way out of the Netherlands. Umm, let's also hope the kind people behind this cache do not take him straight to his designated destination,...

Hitchhiker dotSphinx revealed

I have been tinkering with the idea of unleashing a Geocaching Hitchhiker to the world for quite some time now. Well, sometimes you need some new year resolutions to get the job done. So here he finally is, Hitchhiker dotSphinx! I can hardly wait to set him free...
