About This Item

"Black Widow"

My name is

"Black Widow"

 

On January 1, 2010
I was declared the
WINNER!!
of a race with 6 other cars

""White Stallion""
Big Bad Al… Racer
Sand Rail #19
American Muscle
13,300 Racer
"Yars #3 Offroad Intimidator"

I began the race with 30 points for starting in the 6th pole position.

To finish this race I needed to:

1) Visit a cache near the Pacific Ocean (GC1BD8 - 7/1/09) and the Atlantic Ocean (GC10X52 - 10-10-09)
2) Complete two of the five checkpoint caches listed below,
and
3) Make it back to Colorado to
Boys of Summer
(completed 11/2/09)
to be picked up by the driver of the racer,
rockymtn8iv

The Race was to officially end 3 months after one racer completed the race.
The winner is the car and driver who logged the most points according to an elaborate and often confusing point system.

 

These were "Black Widow"s five checkpoint caches::

Seahorse Stable in California (completed 7-5-09)
A Cool Cache in Florida (completed 10/30/09)
Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Travel Bug Museum in Virginia
Cheers! A Travel Bug Watering Hole in Washington
Taiya's Playground in Alaska
 

The point system!!!

Negative 25 points for hand offs.
The retriever of the car must find and drop the bug in the next cache or there will be a deduction of 25 points off the racers total.

Cumulative Points.
1 point for every travel bug hotel
1 point for every discovery up to 5 events.
1 point for every micro or other small cache not big enough to hold the car. It is ok to pass through a cache to log miles.
2 points for every cache big enough to hold the car, but just passing through.
5 points for every cache the car is dropped into for discovery or retrieval.

One time points.
Please also log the one time points the cache or cacher qualifies for with the new points.
5 extra points for being retrieved from a cache that is new and not found, the FTF must Log this as being found as a FTF cache.
5 points for the first cache in a new state bordering CO
10 points for the first cache in a new state not bordering CO
10 points for being retrieved from a cache listed as NEW (must be listed as new on geocaching.com at the time of Retrieving the bug.)
10 points for a puzzle cache over 4 stars in difficulty, cache must not have been previously found by the current holder of the car dropping it in the cache.
10 points if you dropped into a cache as a FTF.

CACHER BONUS POINTS:
These are cacher bonus points that are for each different cacher, if a cacher runs the car through multiple caches the points will apply only once, but will start over for the same cacher after 2 other cachers have MOVED the car to 2 other caches or 10 other cachers have discovered the car and have not moved the car.
25 points for being MOVED by a newbe cacher (under 50 finds).
25 points for a log moved by a veteran cacher (1000 or more)
50 points for the first travel bug ever found by a newbe cacher (under 50 finds).
50 points for a county that borders the Pacific ocean
50 points for a log moved by a master cacher (5000 or more)
50 points for the first cache in a new country.
75 points one time for a cache in a county bordering the Atlantic Ocean.
75 points for HI or AK
500 points for winning the race.

Keep on cachin' in a free world!
