RULES of The 2004 Race Through America:

  1. Please move this Travel Bug as far towards the next State as you can.
  2. Racers may not be mailed, shipped, transported, etc between cachers or muggles after the race starts, but must be carried from cache to cache by cachers. Racers can be placed multiple times by the same cacher.
  3. The race will start May 1, 2004 with the race-registered bugs where ever they are. It will be over July 4, 2005, or when all the racers visit the 50 states, which ever comes first. The bugs can be in action before the beginning of the race, but the progress tracking will be from where ever the racers are at the beginning of the race.
  4. The Travel Bug MUST be logged into each cache's physical log book as well as the online cache page.
  5. One person can move a vehicle through more than one State, as long as it is logged into a physical cache in each state visited.
  6. The first "Travel Bug" to visit all 50 states WINS.

Strategies for WINNING the 2004 Race Through America:

  1. Please move this Travel Bug as far towards the next State as you can.
  2. Since this is a race, please try to keep the Travel Bug less than a week before placing it in a new cache.
  3. Try to place the Travel Bug in caches that have a HIGH activity level and are not way out of the way so that it can easily be found and moved closer to it's destination.
  4. Visit the RACE THROUGH AMERICA website page to plan a strategy for the Travel Bug to get to an un-visited state.
  5. Feel free to email the Travel Bug's sponsor Dirty_Bird (Dirty_Bird@comcast.net) at any time for additional hints or suggested strategies to help get this vehicle be the FIRST to visit ALL 50 states!
