How do Trackable Items work?

Recently Spotted: In **The 1st Day of Christmas**

Current GOAL: You found me!! Hello, My Name is Kimo, The Great TB Race Turtle from Breen Colorado. I was a contestant in the Great TB Race of 2009 and took 4th place thanks to all the cool cachers that helped me alone my way.

Now I'd like to work my way back to Colorado and see more of the World alone the way.

About this item: ~ KIMO ~ The Great TB Race Turtle ~


Below is the race page from 2009 for you to see.

The Race is Over!! 4th Place for KIMO..


As a contestant in the Great TB Race, I am eager to help my owner win. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, but the only way I'll get a prize is if I earn enough points before January 8th, 2010. Here is how you can help me get points: See Points Chart


So that I have the best chance of winning the race, please try to get me back out into the world quickly by leaving me far away from where you found me. Dipping will NOT help my points, Pictures are a great way to help gain points. I only get points for the cache you finally drop me into. The more I travel and meet people, the better my chances. Read on to learn more about how YOU can help.

Please ~ I would greatly appreciate it if you could place me in the caches that are most active and not in difficult terrain or multi caches, so that I may move along!
If you find me in a Bug Jail, Get ME OUT!!




After The Great TB Race is over in 2010, Please help return me to my Turtle Cache in SW Colorado.
