Current Goal

I am out to disprove the myth that "Turtles are Slow"...and I need your help to bring me to as many caches as possible within a year (from 3/20/2011 thru 3/20/2012). I am actually in a race with 70+ other TB's that are being released at "The 2011 TRFTHOI Cache Mob Event" GC2N460. You have no idea how annoying it to hear over and over "slow as a turtle" ... its just not true....

About This Item

TURTLES ARE NOT SLOW !

This trackable tag is involved in the 2011 Trackable Race For The Heck Of It (TRFTHOI).  Each of the trackable tags in this race receive points for accomplishing tasks during the race period which starts on March 20, 2011 and Ends on March 20, 2012  Please help this trackable out by trying to accomplish some of the tasks below:

 

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

 
Rules:
  1. Trackables must be dropped off in a cache and then picked up by another cacher.  Discovering and Dipping (trackables that just visit a cache) 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 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 website.  Pictures are also required of the trackable at a night cache.
For more information about this race, please visit the TRFTHOI information webpage.
