Current Goal

The Charging Buffalo has decided that he does not need to train for the upcoming race. The fact is he is racing a duck and knows he will win. They are racing from the Southern CA area where it all began, to the campus of UCONN in storrs, CT. A specific cache will be specified later near the UCONN campus. Let the race begin!

About This Item

The Buffalo, hanging out on the range with his pal

Look for the Charging Buffalos Competition, the Racing Duck. You can find him by searching for the Travel bug TBPM6Z.

**UPDATE!**

The Charging Buffalo has officially won, and is currently enjoying retirement. He has many fond memories of those who helped him. He thinks of you all often while he site on the beach watching the surf. He is pondering going west again... Buffalos can't stay still for long.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 4/19/2008 Benicole grabbed it   Visit Log

ZMP9 made the trek to UConn today, with the Buffalo charging along with him. Looks like the Buffalo's relaxed nature, and decision to not waste time training has paid off. The Charging Buffalo has officially beat the Racing Duck to CT! The Charging Buffalo would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped to make this happen. He certainly did not need your help (he is a buffalo after all), but he was glad to have it anyway.

The Buffalo has retired for a little while. He deserves a break after the journey he has been on. Perhaps the Racing Duck will re-appear, and make his way to UConn. Then they can embark on yet another race!

Special thanks to ZMP93 and his Dad for making the trip to UConn! (Big thanks for the Dairy Bar Ice Cream!) Hopefully you found the "Cows in the Fog"....

Z, I expect to see a travel bug heading out from you soon!

Looks like the Buffalo has reached CT! He is trying to make it to UConn, in Storrs. Specifically he would like his picture taken with the Husky statue (near the basketball arena) and would also like to eat some Dairy bar ice cream, two things any vistor to UConn should do.

After his long journey, the Buffalo will no doubt need a hard drink. Feel free to drop him off with the Barkeep at the Nathan Hall Inn, located right on campus. Tell him that Ben Gelb will be in to pick him up shortly. If you plan ahead, and post a log here as to when he will be arriving, Ben may even buy the current holder of the Buffalo a drink!

  • Buffalo Stuck? Not sure but looks like the ducks are ganging up on the buffalo, will they impede his trip?

Discovered It 2/18/2008 Major_Dad discovered it   Visit Log

Given the vast expanse of time we had today after finding the cache in which this mighty buffalo...'Ta-Tonka'...resided, we had to take a moment to discover it! Thanks for sharing! Semper Fidelis.
