Current Goal

I am in a race against "The Hare" once again! This is a test to see if I have retained The lesson I learned on my famous historical victory! (For those geocachers with little cachers in-training I found some neat web links connected to this story.) At (visit link) you and kids can read and listen to a "short version" of this tale. At (visit link) you and kids can read a "story book version." At (visit link) you will find LOTS of activities you and kids can do that again are related to the story.

About This Item

I'm the guy on the left!

"The Hare" and I were released into caches near each other by MaMa Bear. The race begins! Our instructions are to move from cache to cache until the racing deadline - April 23, 2003. The winner is the bug who has moved the farthest from home. But wait that's just the 1st leg of this two-legged race. The second leg is to see who then returns to our home cache "A Tribute to Music and Local Musicians" located near Auburn, NY(zip code 13021), first. PLEASE help me not to forget the POWERFUL lesson that I learned on the first race - PERSEVERANCE WINS THE RACE! (And don't let me become boastful and careless on this race...just because I beat "The Hare before.) Just keep me moving from one cache to the next. Thanks...The Tortoise

MADE IT HOME TO MAMA BEAR - AUG 2004 - MY NEW MISSION IS TO FIND "THE HARE"...PRESENTLY IN THE CARE OF A CALIFORNIA CACHER!

Just figured out that you can log a TB as discovered without having to move it along. This one was kind of big so we decided to leave it where it was.

Picked him to keep him moving toward The Hare. I guess that means he's trying to get to Cali? Well at the very least, we can keep him moving. We'll drop the cute l'il guy off next weekend (probably elsewhere in VA.) --Meepp & Duck
