How do Trackable Items work?

Recently Spotted: In A childrens shrine

Current GOAL: You found me!! 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, 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: Great TB Race of 2009 - Smiley #2

So that I have the best chance of winning the race, please try to get me back out into the world quickly. The more I travel and meet people, the better my chances. Read on to learn more about how YOU can help.

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 5th, 2010. Here is how you can help me get points:

If you would like more information about the race, where to find official checkpoint caches, or to keep up with how the race is going, then you can go to Trip's Geoadventures - The Great TB Race of 2009. There, you can get the rules of the race and find links to race news, stats, and more. Plus, you'll have an easy way to watch how your effort helps me win.

Now, time to continue the race.....

Also, my secondary goal for this TB is to travel to all 50 states looking for new listeners for the PodCacher Podcast. This podcast is a family friendly podcast all about geocaching. Stop by and tell them that Team 57 sent you.

This got lost in the back seat of the truck and was found in time to move it along at the largest cache collection in FL. Sorry for the lost time and poor TB handling. At least it wasn't truly dead/lost.
