Current Goal

Vince is racing in the First Annual Travel Bug Cannonball Run! If you can help Vince by moving him west towards California one state at a time (must be bordering states, VERY IMPORTANT) you'd be setting yourself up for possible fame and fortune... sell your story to Time Magazine, Readers Digest..just imagine the possiblities! Help the winning team and what a good feeling it will give you ;-)

About This Item

Vince...need I say more

Please don't concern yourself with those other racers you see passing through your area. They're all pumped up and doing fine... treacherous some of them I've heard too... so keep your youngin's safe and stay away from them... let Vince give you that feeling of Victory and help move him west to the Finish Line at the Pheromone Cache (GCBFEA) in California.

There are few rules but those are restrictive:
-Bugs are allowed to travel only one state at a time (states must share a common border )
-Bugs must be physically placed in a cache in each state visited.

DISCLAIMER: Anyone that picks up this bug is subjecting themselves to possible harrassment for holding onto, kicks in the shins for moving backwards, wild parties and possible fame for helping the cause. Let's Party!

Berkmom sure know's how to celebrate the start of a race. Bit too much bubbly me thinks.. that was one heck of a hangover that kept Vince comatosed for nearly a month. We're back in the race thanks Ambeer and Danielle! Now which way did everyone head?

Thanks Mrs. and lil Brogans... Vince's engines are REV'D There's a party in town!!... uh oh... better not hit the bubbly too hard this time Vince.

After meeting and partying with some more NY cachers Vince heads off with Dekaner, hey don't I know you, haven't I been around here before?

regoarrarr pops up out of nowhere and scoots Vince off to Cleveland. We sure are glad you found out about the cannonball run!

Thursday, May 15, 2003
Who'da thunk Cleveland would be a gateway to Texas? Web-ling fills up Vince's tanks and races him on down to The BIG state of Texas! Now there's a move to write home about

Visited with Vince today at Varsity level. He is ready to get moving again but we could not help him on his way. So maybe someone else will be able to.

Sorry Sparks Toohoo to grab this bug, but I already moved it and have to log it to the new location.

After several hours of metal detecting in the region, we stopped by Turquoise cache in New Mexico to see if it had any bugs within. I grabbed the Cannonballer bug and California Raison bug to move them on. Unfortunately, they were going the other direction then us. We moved them to a move accessible cache near El Paso, Tx.
