About This Item



This bug started out as a game piece in the New England Capture the Flag Contest. The contest is over, but this bug is continuing it's journey.

Lobster Tales is actually not a lobster. She is a crab. When she was born, her crustacean-challenged owner told her she was a lobster, and later didn't have the heart to tell her the truth. Now poor Lobster Tales, who never fully understood why she looked different than her lobster friends, will go through life thinking she is a lobster. Don't tell her she is a crab - it will only upset her!

since we all converged on this one area from far-flung parts, it's been difficult to coordinate the online logging of the bugs. we have a spreadsheet in case anyone's particularly interested. we actually have two spreadsheets: one that details our plans for the evening and one that details the actual events. we were obliged to visit one cache more than once in order to get everything right, but we managed to get it all done and with an hour and a half to go on the clock of june 3.

when it's all done, we'll have logged a drop of each bug n-1 times, where "n" equals the number of cachers in the group. one of those drops for each bug was, as you know, at sabbaday falls.

since we are not at the time of logging certain that this will result in a win, we have tentative plans to repeat the same action next weekend at somes sound.
