About This Item

Billy the Blue Plymouth

As my mission says

As my mission says, I'm in a race.  It's a race for the most miles with three other cars.  We are, what you might call, born again bugs.  Our predecessors were all stuffed animals that were released in the Spring of 2002.  They were on a race to make it from Phoenix, AZ to Camden, SC in time for the Team GeoQuest wedding in October 2002.  As you can see from our starting "born again" miles below, some of us had more success than others.  It was Billy the Zebra that was the winner, now known as Billy the Blue Plymouth.  Billy was picked up by Jack and Melissa the day before their wedding in Camden.  His reward was tagging along on their honeymoon to Maui.  Billy was left at a beautiful cliff side cache on Maui to continue his journeys. 

Unfortunately, all of the original cast of characters are now MIA so Team GeoQuest has decided to resurrect us all using the backup copies of our original travel bug tags. 

We're all now back in action and raring to go!  Our race is all about determining who can go the distance now that we have a 2nd chance. Most miles before we finally leave "the grid" for good wins!

If you have found me, please move me on quickly.  Make it FAR and make it FAST!

The Racers:

Racer "Born Again" Starting Miles Original Bug Name
Billy the Blue Plymouth 14,522 Billy the Zebra
Tony the El Camino 11,870 Tony the Monkey
Lenny running 24/Seven 7.342 Lenny the Elephant
Ruffin the Viper GTS 137 Ruffin the Lion

 

If you have discovered one of our original travel bugs (The Zebra, The Monkey, The Elephant, or The Lion) please e-mail us for disposition at team.geoquest@gmail.com.  We would especially love to get Billy the Zebra back and would very gladly pay for postage.

TL;DR: We don't have the trackable (and feel sorry for you if it means it is still missing), but stumbled upon its discovery code.

The story: I discovered this trackable/coin when I cracked the cache "Msportis Coinlihaus der 2." and then was able to reverse-engineer some Coins/TBs of the owner Msporti as well. By pure chance / luck while testing out possibilities for this I also came across this TB/coin. We hope that it's okay that we discover it, if not, feel free to delete this log. TFTC/TFTT 😉

Nachdem ich jetzt mal meine Listen und Fotos von Events und Cachetagen zusammen gepackt und geordnet habe, entdeckte ich noch den einen oder anderen nicht discoverten TB/Coin. Dies hol ich hiermit dann nach.

Weiterhin gute Reise. Vielen Dank an alle Owner und Transporteure für's Zeigen und Reisen lassen!

Euer Fuzzy2000
