A few local GeoCachers have got together to run a Travel Bug Race.

The Bugs have been released by “Honeychile” in North Carolina in the USA.

The object of the race is for Bugs to get back to the ' Farley Mount Highwayman' cache in the UK as soon as possible.

The status of participating Bugs can be found on the Leaderboard.

Looks like Hank Hedgehog may have flown away on December 5th. There's a log entry for that date that says "Took cards, stuffed animal, and duckie. Left three bracelets." Garnerway's Dec. 8th cache log notes that the stuffed animal taken on the 5th may have been Hank and I think it's a good possibility. Couldn't quite read the signature for the log on Dec. 5th -- may be something like Hannah B? Hope Hank shows up soon!

Get ready . . . get set . . .

The box of bugs arrived this week and I'm planning to put them all out on Saturday, September 18th. Note that weather conditions are very iffy because of Hurricane Ivan. The hurricane will not make it this far inland, but it is sending plenty of winds and rain across the Carolinas. If weather conditions do not permit release of the bugs on Saturday, I will take a day of vacation and release the bugs the first dry day! I hope all the bugs have terrific adventures and enjoy their journeys home.
