My family loves to Geocache. Actually, it's my Dad and I that are the hard core cachers. For those of you who don't know what geocaching is, it's basically an outdoor treasure hunt using coordinates. You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocaching
A component to caching is this thing called a Travel Bug (TB). It's a dog tag look alike usually attached to a trinket that are placed in the caches. When someone finds a cache, they have the option to pick up the travel bug and place it in another cache. The Travel Bugs usually have a mission, ie: travel from CA to NY or visit as many football stadiums as possible.
So why am I writing a post about this? My Dad and I both own caches. We have decided to get a travel bug and place it in our caches. The Mission? To race each other from our respective caches and be the first TB to reach the other person's cache.
This is my Dad's TB, Buzz Light Year. He's gotta make it all the way to Seattle.
We have some fun stakes associated with our race. Aside from HUUUUGE bragging rights, the loser will donate $25 to the winners local animal shelter/rescue.
We only have two rules: 1. no friends or family members may assist with moving the travel bug. 2. In order to "win" the travel bug must be placed in the other persons cache.
May the best TB win! Who will it be? Buzz or Ducky? I'll keep you updated! :)
To Woodinville and beyond! Go TB Buzz. Race past migrating duckie and may the best Tb win! This will be fun, lets hope the people who pick up the Tb folow the rules and move them along.
