At 4:15pm on Saturday, 12 March 2005, the highly anticipated announcement was made amid a large gathering of weary, barbeque-stuffed, outdoorsy folks prone to fiddling with electronic gadgetry and toys with dog tags attached to them.
North Texas won the 2005 Texas Challenge! For the second consecutive year! This travel bug is a symbol of the hard work, dedication, and teamwork of the North Texas team.
The Texas Challenge event was outstanding. Held in Cedar Hill State Park south of Dallas, it was very well planned and organized. Geocachers from all around Texas came to the event to form the teams of Southeast Texas (SETX), Central Texas (CENTX), and North Texas (NTX). I read a log where someone stated it well - "the world's greatest people."
A good time was had by all, and I believe, except for weariness, everyone stayed safe and healthy.
The trophy was made into this travel bug to follow the tradition established with last year's trophy. Click here to view that travel bug page.
Please do not actually leave this travel bug in a cache. Pass the travel bug along by personally handing it off to another person.
Remember, there are a lot of cachers watching this bug. Please log it accurately. Also, it does not need to be logged in each cache you visit. This bug is not about mileage, it is about people and photos.
Thanks!
