This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Tiffany the Zombie RACING Travel Tag is a Tiffany the Zombie Travel 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:

Tiffany the Zombie loves to tag along in "Zombie Run" events & get her photo taken, but even a good marathon that supports an improtant cause will do. Take Tiffany along with you & get her photo while you run an event and post it in a log entry. However, Tiffany is in a RACE with her boyfriend, Zoltan the Zombie (TB7KJF7) , to travel to the origins of zombie & voodoo legends, Haiti... which could be difficult, since there are only 7 current caches there!

As traditions & zombie culture go...  In America, the legends of zombies grew out of the cultures created by African slavery and colonialism in the Caribbean. Folklore experts have traced the idea of the zombi back to Vodoun practices in Haiti, where tales have long been told of people brought back from the dead as shambling shadows of themselves. Sometimes these zombis are under the control of a master, and sometimes they simply wander mindlessly.So when did the flesh-eating, Americanized "zombie" emerge into pop culture, out of African-Caribbean myths circulated during slavery? Probably in the early 1920s, when sensationalistic accounts of "Voodoo" from white tourists in Haiti began to percolate into pulp fiction by authors like H.P. Lovecraft. And then came the turning point: In 1932, Bela Lugosi starred in White Zombie, about an evil white colonialist in Haiti whose sugar mills are run entirely by zombies.
