Recently Spotted:  In Salt River TB Fishing Lodge and Gambling Hall

Current GOAL:  To win the First CircumConUS Travel Bug Race!

Carl is competing in the Race and his current goal is to travel to Texas. Please help him circumnavigate the conterminous United States, making some required "stops" along the way. Please take pictures and tell a story of your adventures with Carl as you help him travel. Thank you.

About this item:
These are some of the rules:

1. Travel bugs will follow a counter-clockwise route around the US. The required stops are at least one cache placement in the following states: California, Texas, Florida, Maine, Minnesota, Washington, and back to California and the final cache IN THAT ORDER. The final cache is As Seen From the Sky (GCC32A) in Foster City, CA. The bugs must trace the states in this order so any skipping of these goal states means backtracking. All other states and countries can be skipped.
2. Bugs must be physically placed in a cache in each state visited. No "I was here with the bug" logs, someone else has to retrieve the bug after placement.
3. After the start, no more than two racer bugs may be placed in any given cache.

Please see the race web page for more details: http://home.ca.astound.net/~brad.32/geocaching/tbrace.htm

His sister, Carol, is also competing in a race, clockwise around the US.
