About this item:

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. However, I only gain points for the final cache you place me in, so please do not try to help me out by dipping me into multiple caches. Read on to find out how you can help me win the race.

For me to 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. Please do not dip me into multiple caches. I will not gain extra points for the those caches you dip me into and it affects some of the numbers used to calculate the standings

HOW POINTS ARE SCORED
Every cache visited 1
Every 50 miles traveled 1
Crossing state lines or country borders 2
Posting a picture 2
Exchange with a TB/coin 2
Attending an event 3
Earning an FTF 4
Attending an official checkpoint cache 5

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 at http://tbrace.wordpress.com/race-rules/ 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.

So..... the objective is to race as quickly as possible wherever you can take me across the globe - but keep me moving another cache. PLEASE upload as many photos as possible with your log of adventures - this will ensure bonus points for my bug! Please do not dip me into multiple caches. I will not gain extra points for those caches you dip me into and it affects some of the numbers used to calculate the standings.

THANK YOU FOR MOVING ME.

This item might be MIA at the moment. It appears that it was in a cache that might have been recently confiscated by police. All caches found in cemeteries in that area are being confiscated. Found this out from a friend who posted about it. Discovered the status of this item when I looked at the accompanying photo: (visit link)

Retreived from a cache in Fort Worth, TX. A contest, eh? Well the bug was in the cache for the FTF but I was STF and I grabbed it. I'll post a picture, too. That should help. Yuo should also note that I dropped a geocoin in exchange for this. How come my picture only shows if you click on my log but the other pictures show on the cache page? OOPs. There it is. It just took a few minutes to show up.
