Current Goal

YANG and his twin brother, YING - were racing each other from Texas to Canada and back again. YANG won!

About This Item

YING and YANG are two twin bugs who were racing from the "BUG RACE CACHE" in Cedar Hill to any GeoCache in Canada and back again.

YANG won the race - and as soon as YING returns we'll send them off on another race.

The race started off on January 22nd - with YANG reaching Canada in early July and finally arriving back at the finish line on Oct 4th at an impressive average speed of about 10 miles a day!

Each bug is attached to a laminated instruction sheet that explains how to tell which leg of the race the bug is on and where to look to track their progress:

Each person who helps one of these bugs along the way is added to the bugs "TEAM" - the winning team gets all the accolades - the losers...um...lose.

    Picked up Yang and will continue it South. Ironically, we visited the Cedar Hill cache just two weeks ago. Wish we would have had Yang then!
