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 visited "Ridge of the Road" this morning and there was NO sign of the Tortoise. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Picked up the tortoise in Balls Bluff Regional Park in Virginia on NewYears Day. He'll be traveling up to New Jersey with us this weekend. We'll post his new location shortly. In the meantime, we'll take good care of him.

Found this tortoise freezing in a motel! It's ready to travel south of the mason dixon line, and then maybe off to CA to try and convince the people who kidnapped the hare to let him go!
