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.

It was 15 degrees out, and light snow on the ground. Will spring come? I will do my part to help this travel bug "hit the road". I think that this travel bug was a little confused. There is a "flip flop" sandel attached, indicating that it was looking for a warm island retreat. Instead, it was on an island, but a cold, frozen island in the middle of the Kansas River, in the middle of winter! Wow! Thanks for the bug, I promise to drop it off soon!    1/20/2009 saucytoad placed Flip Floppin Across America-The Great TB Race of 2009 in Treasure Island II Kansas 28.9mi E   [visit log]    1/19/2009 saucytoad retrieved Flip Floppin Across America-The Great TB Race of 2009 from Dead Fish, Tennis Balls and Me Kansas   [visit log] The race ...
