How do Trackable Items Work?

Recently Spotted:  In the hands of GeoKellys

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. 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. “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

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:

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 11/21/2009 GeoKellys grabbed GREAT TB RACE *SCRUFFY THE GEODOG* from FTB South - White Breasted Nuthatch Minnesota   [visit log]
Found Scruffy out wandering around, not where he was suppposed to be - in El Cache (GC1ZW5H) to be more specific. We'll hold him for about a week, because we're able to take him across state lines to add to his score.

Scruffy spent some time with our scruffy terrier, Gretel. We're not sure if Scruffy actually liked our dog or if this was a gratuitous photo just to earn bonus points.

I found this (and another travel coin) in El Cachè (GC1ZW5H) not in FTB South - White Breasted Nuthatch (GC1MF2D). Whoever picks it up can easily fix this when they log it.
