WDT - The Turtle

Once a year, a group of exquisite young men (well.. more like sad, old geezers, to be honest) are let out of their cages and allowed to roam free for one weekend.

Since 2007, they have visited a new European city every time, looking for a good time, as boys do.

Now lets make a TB race of it, too!

This whole series of bugs will be left in 2015's destination city (we don't know where that is until we show up at the airport!). Their goal is to visit all the cities the boys have toured, rack up the most miles, and then return home to Norway.  To make it easy, we'll say that "home" means checking in (not just visiting) at GC5GXCX Gardermoen International Airport Bug Hotel.

Every year, we'll update the goal with each new destination. Please take good care of the boys, keep them moving along, and tell us all about their adventures. Pictures are always welcome!

Status update, June 18th 2016:   Field has been stretching out this spring. but now we have a clear leader:  The Shark eventually made it to Berlin, and is first to add another of the cities. Congrats!  Sharkie also keeps the distance lead, but The Signal jumped to second place, after touring southern Norway. The Whale creeps up close to the podium, almost tied with The Lion, after seeing significantly more action that the rest of the crew. At the bottom end, it seems a third racer went missing, so a search party was dispatched to find Nessie (figure the odds on that one..), and if we're lucky he'll be back in the race shortly.

Thanks to everyone keeping the boys moving, and extra thanks to those of you who added pictures :)
