About this item:
There is one important rule you need to keep in mind if you're trying to help me get as many points as possible. That rule states: "No dipping allowed (if it happens, only the final cache placement counts for points)." If you aren't sure what to do, or just don't want the hassle with worrying about points you can just move me to a new cache and I will earn a point and that would be appreciated.
  Here are some very easy things you can do to help me win this race:

1. Even though attending geocaching events earns me extra points, please do not take me to those events since I'm afraid of getting lost at one.
2. Put me in caches that get visited frequently. Only put me in traditional caches with easy difficulty and terrain ratings.
3. Please remember I am not a tradeable swag item therefore you do not have to have something to leave in order to retrieve me.
4.  Take a picture of me and post it here on this web log. 
5. I earn points based on mileage traveled so please move me as far as possible. I earn extra points for traveling across state or country borders.

 

CLICK HERE  to go to the official race page and check out where my TB is in the standings!

There, you can get the rules of the race, find links to race news, stats, and even more ways to help me earn points! Plus, you'll have an easy way to watch how your effort helps me win.

 

Swap me for a TB in the cache you leave me in and earn me extra points! Just make sure you mention in the log below that you exchanged me for _____________ (the name of the TB you picked up). If you want to earn me even more points post a picture of me! Thank you!!!

Crossed a few state borders, so I hope this helps. Wonder who you're racing against and how they're doing.

Picked it up at the event. Swapped it for "my second bug" TB. I'll have to find a good place that's as far as I can to to drop this guy off.
