How do Trackable Items Work?

Recently Spotted:  In the hands of Vartan and Marie

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: Journey's in Geocaching

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.

Hi. Just wanted to get your advice on your TB which I now have. I'd like to do what's best for the race. I was going to take it to Cape May NJ next week 125 miles. But, I'm going to Naples Fla. in 2 weeks --1200 miles
and will be doing a lot of caching . The question is would you want to wait for the Fla trip or are you more interested in a faster placement ? Let me know. 1CaptainBob

I can't believe that one of my competitors has made it to within 1 hour of me, since I am exactly 1000 miles from the starting cache!!!!!! Wish it was MY entry!!!!!

Good luck to you!

Owner of BatPez
