How do Trackable Items work?

Recently Spotted: In the hands of Team A4

Current GOAL: Mr. Monster's current goal is to "terrorize" as many US states as possible. His ultimate goal is to terrorize every state in the US (DC included if possible). That may not be a reasonable expectation, but I can hope!

About this item:
Mr. Monster is a Shrinky Dink that I made with my kids one afternoon. I thought that he would be perfect to use as my first travel bug! Please help him around so that he can "terrorize" as many states as possible. Photos of the places that he has terrorized are strongly encouraged.

Rules:
1) Please move him one state at a time. That means that he can only move to a state that is touching the state that he's in. For example: He's starting in California. That means that his next state could be Oregon, Nevada, or Arizona. Please don't move him directly to Utah, for instance. Moving him around within a state is fine (hopefully getting him closer to a border).
2) Alaska and Hawaii would be obvious exceptions to rule #1. Use your own discression there.
3) If he gets backed into a corner (i.e. He's in Washington, and has already been to Oregon and Idaho), it's OK for him to jump over states that he's already been to (i.e. directly to Montana).
4) Plane travel is OK, as long as rule #1 is followed.

Enjoy! And hopefully take lots of pictures and upload them!

Well he has done most of the west states so I'm sending him with TexasNick back to the Lone Star state jumping over states that he has already been to. Hopefully he can hit some midwest states he has not seen.

We weren't traveling out of the state anytime soon, so we decided Mr. Monster would enjoy the waterfall views. Hope someone picks him up that can move him to more States soon. Bon Voyage!! [This entry was edited by Beta Eagle 1 on Monday, July 03, 2006 at 11:05:28 PM.]

This was our first day of geocaching. We'll be sure to move the travel bug along soon.

There are so many "micro" caches in this area, it is difficult to find a cache big enough for TBs sometimes. This is a nice multi in a nice walking park. Hopefully someone will pick this TB up and move it along.

The P cache container is small and precarious. Monster TB was chunched in the container, and I feared that the container might spring open under the strain and the contents, including Monster, might be lost. So I retrieved Monster. I will find him better quarters. [This entry was edited by Loki6340 on Monday, April 17, 2006 at 7:08:56 PM.]

I found this TB hitchhiking by the side of the road in Texas; I don't know how it escaped from its last cache, but there it was. Although skipping over a couple of states to get there, Mr. Monster was homesick and wanted to visit California for a while before returning to his state-by-state travels. I am going to launch my own TB Hostel this weekend, and will include this TB in it.
