The Journeys of Floyd the Giant Day Gecko in San Francisco

Floyd, a geocaching.com travel bug owned by Carole and Jay Furr, finally made it to San Francisco on September 29, 2004 after being released in the "Furrs.org" (later renamed to "Appalachian Gap") geocache on June 23, 2002.  Floyd took two years and three months to travel 7500 miles (his trip was rather roundabout) to San Francisco.
