Flatouts Travel Pirate Geocoin (FGA TB Race)

Original:

* To Win The FGA Geo-Extravaganza's  "The Most Magnificent Travel Bug and Coin Race"...a race that will send your trackables to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new lives and civilizations...ok, to travel as far as possible . It will conclude at the Third Annual FGA Geo-Extravaganza.

Update:  Unfortunately the Race ended back in April 2012 and this traveler although in the lead for points wasn't back to the event site to win.  In fact it has never been back to the USA.  On the bright side it has traveled and been with many geocachers on many adventures and we really couldn't ask for more... Well perhaps more pictures so we could see the places it travels and it would be nice to see the cachers it travels with once in a while.

Original:

* The race is for points, so you don’t have to travel the furthest to win – you just have to get the most points. Points will be given for tasks that are accomplished by each trackable, as they make their journey.

* The race will last for one year. It begins on 2nd Annual FGA Geo-Extravaganza and will end on 3rd Annual FGA Geo-Extravaganza. Points will be tallied and result will posted on the FGA web site from time to time. Sign up for the race ends at the 2nd Annual FGA Geo-Extravaganza,

* OK, now here is the good stuff - the tasks that will need to be completed and the points that will be assigned are listed in the following table.

Task Point Value:
Dropped off at a traditional cache 5 points
Dropped off at a multi cache 10 points
Cross over a state boarder 10 points
Enter another country 20 points
Picture taken at an earthcache 15 points
Attend an event 15 points
Dropped off in more than one cache in a day 5 points
Picture taken at the final of a night cache 20 points

More Specific Rules:

1. Trackables must be dropped off in a cache and then picked up by another cacher. Discovering and Dipping (visiting) of trackables is allowed, but there are no points awarded for those actions.
2. To get credit for crossing a state border, the trackable must be dropped off in at least one cache in the new state. If a trackable passes through a state without being dropped off, then there are no points awarded. This rule also applies to trackables that enter another country
3. Pictures are required at the caches and events where there is no physical container. Pictures need to be posted on the trackables webpage. Pictures are also required of the trackable at a night cache.

That's it... So could you help this traveler win by helping it along it's Journey?

The Race Ended on April 2012.

That doesn't mean the fun has to end!

Be sure to place it in safe caches along the way to insure it travels safely. 
Although Lonely caches are usually the best caches to do it could hinder it from accomplishing it's Goal, so we ask if at all possible keep it in more active caches.

Lets see just how long this pirate travels and how many miles it gathers along the way.  More important is the journey and the many Cachers along the way.

Please share your journey and post Pictures, they are always fun for us to see.  So feel free to take and post pictures of your part in its journey.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

It's all about the Journey!

Cache On!
