Thanks Dave:

The telephone number is what I need.

It looks like I won't be leaving Marathon until about 11:00 am - meeting - so it will be after work sometime

We carry almost all the vehicle trackable decos I can find.
My wife is has the magnetic one on her van, and I am running the white deco on my car

I like the white deco better then most of the others. We tested the static cling one on my car, but with the tinted windows, you couldn't see it. The Magnetic one is good, but the worry about someone "grabbing it" is a bit of a concern, and it stood out like a sore thumb on my car.
Here is the TBs we carry http://upnorthtracks.com/geocaching/trackables/travelbugs.htm

While we were wt "Maritime Geobash 2010" Megaevent this past weekend, pnutbeagle and I picked up a couple of the car TB decals.  These ones were small ones - only 1.5" by 3" in size.  One will be placed on her truck. and the other - who knows

We made our new camper into a travel bug.  The decals are very small so to make it possible for people to see the number on the back of our trailer while we travel, we got it blown up so its almost two feet tall.  I guess its kind of cheating but while on the highway it will be visible from behind and when camping you will only to be able to see the small one on the front.  We put on 3000km since we put the decals on, and still no one has discovered it!  We were at Rainbow Falls the august long weekend and I know there were other cachers in the park, but I guess they didnt walk by our site or they didnt notice the decal.

You're right.  Surpriseme, YQT, and myself were at Rainbow Falls that weekend, not only did we not see your camper, we didin't see you either!  We were hiking the Casque Isles Trail from Rossport to the campground one day and Schreiber to the campground the second.  About 15 KM each day.  By the time we got back to camp all we could think about was beer!  ;)
Which way's North?

Yup I saw you walk by our campsite (the back of our site) on the main road, looked like you just got back from a hike.  I was going to stop by and say hi but you werent around when I went by, and I was busy fixing the truck, canoeing and drinking a few beers myself.
