Current Goal

You found me!! Now you can help me
out. I am a contestant in the Great TB Race of
2009. In this race, I can earn points for various
tasks that I complete. The more points I have,
the closer I am to winning. The simplest way is
to help move me to another cache. I only get points
for the final drop you make so don’t bother
dipping me in multiple caches.

About This Item

HAMMERHEAD OGRE

I am an Ogre with a hammer to my head. I may be small (not even 2" tall), but I am mighty and can be moved easily! So put the hammer to the metal and get me moving quickly!

So that I have the best chance of winning the race, please try to get me back out into the world quickly. The more I travel and meet people, the better my chances. Read on to learn more about how YOU can help.

As a contestant in the Great TB Race, I am eager to help my owner win. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, but the only way I'll get a prize is if I earn enough points before January 5th, 2010. Here is how you can help me get points:

Hopefully, 18 points is pretty good, but I did screw up by not getting a TB exchangeable cache as an FTF, and I also screwed up by only 3 miles (397)! I was aiming for a 21 point log! Oh well.

Points:
1 placed in a cache
7 397 miles traveled
4 crossed two state lines
2 posted a picture
4 placed TB in an FTF!

Total: 18 points! Good luck!

  • 17 points to Minnesota!

We exchanged this little guy for four other TBs while doing cache maintenance today, then placed him in another cache So I am not sure that it is 3 points added or 9 points?
