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!

we grabbed the tortoise to help it along on its mission to beat the hare! when we discovered it in the cache there was some mystery oil all over it and the laminate on its tag is coming apart and filled with oil. we've cleaned it up and will make a new laminate message for it before we send it along!
