Current Goal

TO WIN TACK ME!!!

I am a contestant in the 1st Annual GCGV Track Me Challenge. The race began January 1st, 2011 and will last until December 7th, 2011. The winners of the race will earn prizes. The race is about earning points. Points are earned every time I meet one of the goals listed below (also found on my attached tag). But be careful. Any points that might be earned by dipping me in more than one cache will be voided. I only get points for the final cache you place me in. All race information, including rules, standings, and info on past races, can be found at the GCGV Track Me Challenge 2011 website. Help me win the race by keeping me moving.

THE WINNER is a contestant in the Track Me Competition.

For those who do not know, Track Me is a travel bug game that will start in Australia on in which all the travel bugs entered will be placed in caches and will be given one year to travel. The object is to see which travel bug can complete the most objectives in that year, such as attending an event. They will earn points for the completion of these objectives. At the end of the year, the travel bug who has the most points will win.

Each bonus may be claimed ONLY ONCE per trackable.  If you happen to get all 3 bonus goals within the month, then you will get an extra bonus of 25 points.  This will give you a total for 100 points!!  All bonus points are on top of the standard points (example: if the bonus is to have a picture taken, then you will get credit for BOTH the picture, and the bonus)
Here are this month’s bonus goals:

1.  Have your trackable’s picture taken with either a kangaroo, koala, emu, wallaby, or (just because it’s Easter) a rabbit.
2.  Have your trackable visit 3 different types of caches within the month (Regular, Multi, Puzzle, or any type of event)
3.  Have your trackable’s picture taken with at least 2 other trackables in the same picture (they do not have to be in the GCGV Race).

    Sorry again for the misplaced TB. I am really upset in myself for not logging this when I found it and then losing the damn thing altogether.

    Away good news, I have found it and will move it on tomorrow ASAP.

    • What a crappy photo - but it is worth 10 pts.

    Found it in Brooks Bushland cache near Bungendore - will either send it on the United States in Late March where it will most likely move around and cross lots of states quicker than here in Australia or send it interstate shortly. Cheers and good luck with the competition.

    Have fun racing. We have a trackable coming your way too . . .
    Lookout for the event.
    We were told that our trackables would start off soon but they may be off on a cruise !?!

    So here is 10 points for the photo from us.
    I am looking for a high turn over cache. Canberra is famous for it's puzzle caches (though I probably shouldn't put you into a 5/5 puzzle cache even if it did earn you 15 points).

    Maybe something fishing related.
