How do Trackable Items Work?

Recently Spotted:  In Castle Leslie

Current GOAL:  You found me!! Hello, My Name is Kimo, The Great TB Race Turtle from Breen Colorado. Now you can help me out. I am a contestant in the Great TB Race of 2009. In this race, I can earn points for various tasks that I complete. The more points I have, the closer I am to winning. The simplest way is to help move me to another cache & log my movement and post Pictures!!!. But I have more tasks that are worth more points. My mission is to win.

Read on to find out how you can help.

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

Retrieved Kimo from Mr Shovel in Krakow, Poland and have brought him back to England so hopefully he has gained a few points. Also swapped him for Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug so this may give him a couple of extra points too. Will try to move him on soon to continue his race around the world.
