How do Trackable Items work?

Recently Spotted: Unknown Location

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.

This travel bug was found on a warm day. 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!

I'm so sorry about miss logging this bug! We were hiking/caching all day & I got confused. I grab this back out of Chips are down & put it in the correct cache. I'll email the race manager.
