Current Goal

This Travel Bug's very specific mission is to race (and beat) other travel bugs in the "Going A.P.E. to get back to Austin!" race (GCTXAH). The Short Bus needs your help to get from the "Mission 12: Blind Canal" A.P.E. cache (GC1596) in Chicago to "Return from Project A.P.E. (a Travel Bug Hotel)" (GCTRDQ) in Austin.

note: the starting point for the race was changed to Mission 7: Crab Creek. The bug does NOT need to travel to Blind Canal, just get it to Austin! :)

Wow... we found this TB WAY back in 2007... and never logged it. We are SO sorry. We will hopefully (weather permitting) place this in another cache later on today.

Many apologies from The Cache Houndz!

Gee it's great to be back home
Home is where you want to be-e-ee
You've been on that cachin' road so long
And your logs relate your history
Some the same old story.
Everywhere you go,
You get dropped off
Swept away
Never know where you'll rest on a given day
And you're out in the rain and the sunshine,
Hoping the finding stays mighty fine
Just trying to keep the caching bug satisfied,
Satisfied.

Tygress and 'Weasel said to me
Tell us what you come here for, boy.
Project A.P.E. Cache? Well gee!
We'll take you there
Drop you in, and hope you score.
It's a cachin' story:
Everywhere I go,
You get dropped off
Swept away
Never know where you'll rest on a given day
And you're out in the rain and the sunshine,
Hoping the finding stays mighty fine
Just trying to keep the caching bug satisfied,
Satisfied.

Well, TB, you've met your goal... where to next?

Take the Short Bus to Austin,
And I'll meet you out there cachin'
You can be be there in no time at all
No fuss or reservation,
Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
'Cause you're leavin' in the morning
And likely won't be back again
A scant night or two together
'Til right cache comes up and then
You'll have to go; oh, wo, wo, wo!
Ah, so, so, so!
And I don't know if you'll ever make it home.
Take the Short Bus to Austin,
There's no waiting, cache-to-cachin'.
We'll do the Starbucks coffee drive through
Add a bit of conversation.
Oh... Oh, oh -- don't pour it slow
Oh oh oh oh!
Take the Short Bus to Austin,
Log the cache and move along
Hope you don't mind this noisy
bit of filk, after all it is YOUR song
You're close, you know. Oh ho, ho, ho!
Oh ho, ho, ho!
And I'll try to get you there before too long.
Take the Short Bus to Austin,
Take the Short Bus to Austin....
Take the Bus.

Hmmmm. You are SOOOO close to Austin! [In truth, city limits are one mile thataway.]
Wasn't planning on the A.P.E. cache tomorrow.... but may just have to alter my plans.
