About This Item

Ground Grabber II.jpg

Have you ever looked at the ground you step? No, not just that look to make sure that you won’t be wrong footed, that you won’t slip in anything, kick something or fall through whatever kind of hole one may find at your town. I mean, have you ever taken a good, deep look at the ground you step on everyday?

That’s what Ground Grabber it’s all about. This TB is a contestant in a worldwide race that aims to get the ‘Portuguese sidewalk art’ known all over the world. But then, why stop at the Portuguese typical sidewalk?. Or those that aren’t even sidewalks! To log the Ground Grabber, please take a photo (‘grab’ it) of the ground you usually step on, and put on your log (just a quick note: the name of the file should indicate street, place and country of photo).

TB Race information:

This Travel Bug is a participant in a Race!! - The Travel Bug with the largest distance traveled between June 10th, 2005 and June 10th 2006 will win the race.

The race is run under the subject "Calçada Portuguesa", which is a type of decorative pavement from Portugal we hope to divulge.

Carry me as far as possible and find out more about the race at: http://travelbugrace.geocaching-pt.net/

O chão que eu piso em Almada não tem a riqueza de outros mais exuberantes, mas também tem alguns exemplos de calçada portuguesa [This entry was edited by jalmeida on Wednesday, September 14, 2005 at 6:08:58 AM.]

Queria tê-la posto na cache 'Marialva' (porque ainda era mais longe) mas o GPS estava com um erro horrível e não a encontrei! Mas de certeza que isto lhe dá à mesma um grande avanço. Espero que as fotos estejam boas. [This entry was edited by avo_alfredo on Monday, September 05, 2005 at 12:42:23 PM.]

Foi um dia realmente bom. Tinha ido com o jalmeida ao "Ninho de Paimogo" cuja paisagem é digna de nota. Fui eu que encontrei a cache. E qual não foi o meu espanto quando ao abrir o saco me deparei com o "Ground Grabber": O meu primeiro TB! Só espero que para tirarmos a foto não tenhamos de usar o rolo que lhe está agarrado: está um pouco fora de prazo...
