Current Goal

To make it back to Eden Prairie, MN but he's in no rush! He'd like to have his picture taken in as many tourist places as he can!

About This Item

#2 Polish ready to race!

Unfortunately Polish is no longer himself (in fact I think he's just a chain with laminated tag that some other cacher was kind enough to add). Just like that hamburger or hot dog that falls through the grate and onto the grills, sounds like the hot dog body is gone. But like heartburn, he lives on in our hearts (or at least close by). I'm hoping to get the two remaining sausages (Polish & Hot Dog) back to Minneapolis to get them new 'bodies' along with the two sausages TB that have gone missing, add Chorizo (the newest racing sausage) and start a new sausage race. Unfortunately they no longer make the bendy racing sausages so I'm trying to find the body for all of them. If some nice cacher would like to give Polish a temporary body in the interim, it would be most appreciated (as people are much more like to take a tb with a body instead of just a chain). Once it gets back to Minneapolis, I make the temporary body a new travel bug.

#2 Polish, aka Staush is a Polish sausage and wears dark sunglasses and a blue and red rugby shirt. (I initially though he was a hot dog!) Polish had a huge disadvantage in that he was place in a cache that was on an adventure hike, but it looks like he is moving now!




















Previous goal: The Sausage Race back to Little Cache on the Prairie in Eden Prairie, MN... We dropped off 4 travel bugs (#1 Brat, #2 Polish, #3 Italian, #4 Hot Dog) in Hawaii when we got married in November of 2006 (two on Kauai and two on Molokai) and wanted to see who made it back to Eden Prairie first before we send them out on their next mission. The figures used are from the Milwaukee Brewer's Sausage Race.

#2 Polish WINS THE SAUSAGE RACE!!

Special thanks to "Scouter Herb & Mrs B" for not only giving him a laminated tag but taking him from the hard to reach "The Other Way to Hanalei" cache, to CLAMM and pfalstad for helping him to get to the modified finish line (since the original finish line is gone), and everyone who helped Staush along the way.

And now a moment of silence for the other racing sausages that are all MIA.

If I can find replacement sausages, I'll get them set (maybe even add Chorizo the newest racing sausage) and have them ready for spring training.
