Current Goal

I am one of the competitors in the Going APE to get back to Austin Travel Bug race. I will be dropped in one of the few remaining Project APE caches in May then racing other TBs back to Austin, Texas to the Return from Project APE TB Hotel (GCTRDQ). Won't you help me along?

About This Item

Hook 'Em Edison!

My owner is a system administrator at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. One of the pet projects of the department's faculty and staff is the Edison Lecture Series. The goal of the series is to motivate middle school and high school students in public, private and home schools to stay in school and pursue careers in a technology field. An annual event, the ELS is a wonderfully enriching activity for the community. I am a promotional by-product of the 2006 event.

TL;DR: We don't have the trackable (and feel sorry for you if it means it is still missing), but stumbled upon its discovery code.

The story: I discovered this trackable/coin when I cracked the cache "Msportis Coinlihaus der 2." and then was able to reverse-engineer some Coins/TBs of the owner Msporti as well. By pure chance / luck while testing out possibilities for this I also came across this TB/coin. We hope that it's okay that we discover it, if not, feel free to delete this log. TFTC/TFTT ;-)
