Mud-Diver, Nocona 1 and I are headed to Seattle, WA for the LAST Block Party. We are meeting up with another NC Geocacher who is headed to Japan for the next couple years. I thought it would be fun to hold a Travel Bug race from Okinawa, Japan (cache TBD) to Harrisonburg, VA (GC5WF4E).
The Rules
1.) Please try and keep the TB accouterments small. They will be traveling in two separate suitcases.
2.) Please no firearms, bullets, or the like, real or fake. Airport security is trying enough.
3.) All competing TBs must have 0 (zero) miles recorded against them.
4.) The first bug to be logged into the Harrisonburg, VA cache will receive the checkered flag. The race is then complete.
The Prizes
We are headed to HQ, so you never know what goodies are going to be found!! There will be three prizes:
Fastest Flight: The TB who wins the race
Failure to Launch: The TB who doesn't leave the Japanese cache
Sightseeer: The TB who accumulates the most miles
Registration

1.) Come to one of the eight events held from 8/8 to 8/12 listed below or
