Current Goal

Timmy is my brother, and Matthew and Anthony are my cousins. Our dream was to work on the Alaskan pipeline, so we grabbed our construction gear and headed north. We finally landed our dream job but soon realized that life in Alaska was much harder than we anticipated. We decided to do some sightseeing while in Alaska then return to our families in Michigan. One day we made a bet who could make it back to Michigan first. I told the others that I could beat all of them, so now the race is on! Will you help me return to Mt. Clemens, Michigan? I'd love to have pictures along the way so I can brag about my adventures when the others finally arrive.

I was the first person to find "Summit View" cache in Hatcher Pass, Alaska, this year and did not see the Racing Pig in the cache. Perhaps it was dropped into another "Summit View" cache since the last bug holder mentioned traveling to Canada in the bug's next to last log?

I did find the missing pig!!! Sorry it took me so long to get it logged though. I picked it up at the The "Spot" in Whittier cache on June 4th. He is on his way to Canada in a few days.

We think this TB was taken by a new cacher, but we can't get a response from them. Sadly, we'll have to mark Taran as missing. 😟

Retrieve It from a Cache 7/3/2007 NaJoBe retrieved it from FLYRFN's 1st cache Alaska   Visit Log

oh boy oh boy it's a race and I have both the bugs. Let's see should I pick a favorite and try to help it along or should I keep it fair and move them both together. TFTB and time will tell as far as the favoritism goes.
