Current Goal

It's a race! Four little sea turtles are each trying to be the first to travel to the (an) ocean and back to Austin, TX (the body of water should have the word "Ocean" in its name – picture proof, please!). Note that the labels on the turtles can be confusing due to wrapping! The correct correspondence is Tortuga for TB14W60; Shelley for TB154T1; Chelona for TB158QQ; and Kachua for TB151F2.

About This Item

Shelley and her sisters make a pyramid!

Mamma Tortilla, the Sea Turtle, had four little sea turtle babies. She named them Tortuga, Shelley, Chelona, and Kachua. Unfortunately for these baby sea turtles they were hatched in Austin, TX, far away from the ocean. As soon as they said their goodbyes to Mamma Tortilla, they each set off to find the ocean. Much like their cousin the tortoise in the story of the tortoise and the hare, these little sea turtles are very competitive. The four babies decided to turn this into a race!! The first one to make it to the ocean (picture proof, please!) and back to Austin, TX, wins!!

(Last one back is a rotten turtle …)

Well, it is high time we made the official transfer of Shelley back into the possession of her originators!

She has actually been in our possession a LOOOOONG time -- but somehow just never had it indicated that this was the case!

Two of her siblings have disappeared, while the third spent the longest time wandering around in the UK.

Once Kachua is back in Austin, we'll have to have an event in their honor and launch them on a new mission!!!

Thanks, Melanie, for taking good care of little Shelley!!

Well, the '09 Texas Challenge
Was wet and an OCEAN of fun
Though I doubt that it was helpful
In a sea turtle's racing run.
Still I love a turtle
(Tortoises are cool too)
Happy swimming through the caching seas
Is the wish from me to you.

Great serving on the Competitive Challenge with you, Torgny!
I think we more than held up our waxing Middle Age end of the bargain!

  • Torgny, nipping any false starts in the bud!

I wasn't sure how safe this cache was so I rescued Shelley and will hold it until I hear from the owners about either drop-off or a new goal.

Found this one in a recently placed cache. I am grabbing it and then dropping it and then retrieving it.
Let me know where you would like it to go from here. Looks like it reached its goal.

Shelley just got back from her trip to The Dominican Republic in the Atlantic Ocean/Carribean Sea. She had a wonderful time and loved watching the sunrise in the mornings and taking a morning swim. She's now visiting in La Grange, TX and will make her way back to Austin soon. Thanks for letting her vacation with us! Hope you enjoy the picturs. ~Queenzima
