Current Goal

This bug is the Hare, one half of 'The Hare and the Tortoise ABC Race'. It's aim is to beat the Tortoise travel bug by travelling throughout the world. The more caches the Hare visits the more points he gets. However, he will get many more bonus points if he travels to a cache, place or country in alphabetical order.

About This Item

The main idea is that they travel the world, not stop in one country for too long!

We will research it and allocate the points accordingly. There may be delays in updating, so please look at the previous logs if the page has not been updated recently. Last Updated: 27/9/2004

    It took us some time to drop the TB to it's new location, due to heavy rain events during the last few weekends. Finally we found a new home called Flörsheimer Schweiz 1(Schweiz = Switzerland, term for a beatiful landscape in the german language). The cache is within the area of Flörsheim, a small city near Frankfurt. So all together I think this will bring at least 75 points. The new home of the TB is not far away from the airport of frankfurt, so somebody may take it to Greenland (next letter is a G) ...
    Bon voyage

    Yeah, found a cache with a name that starts with the letter E 😁
    So there will ba a view points to earn.
    I hope that the TB will go to a cache in Frankfurt next (50 Points!). A posibility is also that the TB go to France next (100 Points)!😉

    Oh, the current Letter is still E ?? 😮
    So we have to think a little more, where to place the TB next.

    Dropped the Hare ABC in the Cache "Princess Ulei" near Eutin (there is the "E"). Our friends Michael and Stephanie (mnuess) will take it to Frankfurt, so it gets a lot of points for the next letter and the distance.

    Tolle Idee, haben den TB aus dem Duftwasser-Cache geborgen und werden nun nach einem neuen Platz suchen, der ihm möglichst viele Punkte bringt!
