This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Hot Potato VA-MD Lives Again is a Travel Bug Dog Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

This bug is a replacement for the original Hot Potato VA-MD which had an unfortunate encounter with sharp teeth in 2008. If you've played the original Hot Potato game, check out the new expanded rules below.

The Hot Potato's goal is to promote friendly competition between the geocachers of Virginia and Maryland. And also, to give people an excuse to visit some caches a little farther from home.

How? With a game of "hot potato".
