Current Goal

To prove Volkswagens can win any race :) Including the Tassie bug race of 2k5 :) So please race me back to Tasmania, Australia as quick as you can.

Rules: 1. Racing bugs must be logged into at least one cache in the US (in addition to the initial release cache).
2. The bug racer has to be placed in at least 5 caches by 5 different geocachers, and in at least one country other than Australia and the US.
3. Virtual caches will not count towards fulfilling the criteria in 1 & 2.
4. The racing bug may not be posted back to Australia.
5. The geocacher that grabs the travel bug must also be the one that puts it in the next cache.
6. Bug race participating cachers may not move a bug participating in the bug race.
7. Bugs will be considered to have reached their destination when they have successfully reached a Tasmanian (non-virtual!) cache!
