Current Goal

InspGadget is racing in the First CircumConUS Travel Bug Race. He is heading to the As Seen From the Sky! cache.

SO MUCH FOR BEST LAID PLANS: Go Go Gadget has lost the race since he has not even reached the first State (ie.e Texas). Oh well, onward to new adventures.

About This Item

Go GO GADGET Racer

Go GO GADGET Racer is another of the InspGadget TBs sent off from Napa, California. Traveling by scooter, Gadget wants to go circumnavigate the continental US.

He will start his journey from Eelboy's Cache event, January 3, 2004. The GOAL is to follow a counter-clockwise route around the US. The required stops are at least one cache placement in the following States: California (starting State and start/ finish caches), Texas, Florida, Maine, Minnesota, Washington, and back to the starting State and finishing cache IN THAT ORDER.

The bugs must trace the States in this order so any skipping of these goal States means backtracking. All other States and countries can be skipped.

For further information and rules of the race, please go to the following web site: http://users.rcn.com/brad.32/geocaching/tbrace.htm

Any questions or comments can be directed to InspGadget@sbcglobal.net

The race will be over 1 Jan 2005, or when all the racers reach the finish cache which the AS SEEN FROM THE SKY Cache GCC32A located in San Mateo, CA.

** Please take photos along the way and keep Go GO GADGET moving. If he seems to be STUCK in your county {i.e. just moving around your local area caches} take him away to another place so that he can continue to reach the goal. Thank you.

InspGadget of California. ***JUST A REMINDER: I am circumnavigating the US in a COUNTER CLOCKWISE direction. Heading to Texas, Florida, Maine, Minnesota, Washington, and back to California. Thanks for moving me along!

What a long winter this bug had in the U.P. Will take some pictures near the Empire and Tilden Mine tailings piles and send on its way. Will try to get the inspector in a well traveled cache so he can get on the road after a harsh winter here in Michigan.

Found The Inspector today trying to figure out what happened the raccoon at this location. Super Secret Red Glow device still in working order. Hope to get a photo opp with the Inspector soon before he continues on his way. Oh, and will supply him with a new Ziploc bag as his current one is a little travel worn.
