About This Item

adapter housing

Because the orignal TB got lost 3 years ago (in 2004) a new one with a home made tag was released (in 2006). But after 3 years the assumed lost TB showed up again. So currently 2 TB's are circulating with the same tag id. A laminated card with the old tag and a piece of computer hardware with the new tag.
Their new target is to get merged. So they have to travel to the same place. One is currently (may'07) in Florida and the other one was last seen in California. So if they could both be moved to somewhere in between say Texas.

Old goal of the undefined piece of computer hardware
(a.k.a. TB "Hardware Random Number Generator"):
Travel randomly. Throw a dice. This will result in number X Please put the TB in the X-th cache you find after the one you found this TB in.

Old goal of Pudsey the bear
(a.k.a. TB "Mark "The Cat" Charity Travel Bug Race #43 - "The Tigger Gang"):
Mark Thompson, founder of geocacheuk.com died on 9th September 2004. This travel bug is taking part in a race in his memory. Please move the bug as quickly as possible and try to place it in a cache where it will be found quickly by another geocacher.
About:
The original bug was in a race. Points were awarded for a combination of distance travelled and number of times moved. So even if you only move the bug a few miles, please do. Try not to leave it in caches that are visited infequently to give it a chance to move around.

Mark Thompson The orginal TB; the tag is is currently no longer connected to the bear. It is attached to a laminated card that says Mark "The Cat" Charity Travel Bug (or similar wording) and the name on the card is "The Tigger Gang".
