Current Goal

Get Spike back to his owners on the west coast before Crabby Crab’s claw (TB#541992) reaches Portland Maine.

Spike wants to travel solely by land to every state, taking time to visit their wonderful beaches, eat at many restaurants (seafood restaurants are okay he’s happy just to sit on your lap) and have his picture taken along the way.

About This Item

SPYKE

Spike was named after an old lobster that lived in a restaurant aquarium tank in California. Mary Tyler Moore tried to save the old guy by offering to purchase him and fly him back to Maine where he’d be released. The restaurant owner, having grown attached to the old guy, wouldn’t sell it despite Moore’s offerings. Our Spike’s claw was released by its owners on the shores of Portland Maine following a family visit in the area. Having grown attached to the family he begins his journey east only to discover his distant cousin Crabby Crab’s claw on the west coast is challenging him to a race. Which one will reach the opposite coast first? Remember part of the goal is to visit each state along the way, travel solely by land, get its picture taken by everyone it encounters, visit at least one beach in every state and have a great time.
