I can't get my signature to post! Any ideas? You can steer all you want but it is all for not if your standing still!

Those are just test bugs the web designer used to set the stat page up.

Hey everybody! Just trying to keep this thread fresh. Hope to see some more entrants soon. All are welcome. Thanks WCoaster 2003 Canadian Coast to Coast TB Race

We are going to have a rule that no racer can log a TB more than one consecutive time. That means the same person could log the same bug twice or more but someone else must log it in between them. There is discussion about only one other before relogging or more logs say 5 for example. We are working on prize sponsors and would like to promote the purchase of all merchandise by race participants from race sponsor merchants. Please stay tuned. Thanks for all the input. I see this page is getting lots of views. Hope to see some more entrants soon. Let's get some more pics going gang! 2003 Canadian Coast to Coast TB Race [This message was edited by WCoaster on May 06, 2003 at 09:53 PM.]

To: Junglehair We are discussing the race parameters there are merrits for both. There is no entry fee being considered at this time. To: radcanhig DOH! Oh well what the heck it is all good. Thanks

2003 Canadian Coast to Coast TB Race Rules Start Point: TBA on July 5th, 2003 End Point: TBA Rules are simple: 1. Travel bugs must visit any 7 of the 10 provinces and finish in Newfoundland. No bug shall be deemed to have finished the race unless it has been logged in 7 provinces. 2. Bugs must be physically placed in a cache in each province visited (no virtuals or locationless). I will be randomly checking with cache owners to verify that bugs have been logged in the cache log books and not just on the cache page. 3. First Racer to be logged at end cache in Newfoundland is the winner! (There will be other categories also) The cache owner in Newfoundland will be the final judges of first arrival. Any dispute during the race will be settled by vote in the TravelBug Forum at Geocaching.com. You are allowed to attach any type of information, map, etc to your bug that you think will help accomplish it's goal. Racer must be received by July 4th, 2003 in order to be released at the official start point, any late arrivals may still race but will be released from a local cache in my area ASAP. Mailing Address for all racers is: WCoaster 13362 61ST Ave. Surrey BC, Canada V3X 2K4 If you wish to have your bug returned to you after the race, you will need to include with your bug a mailer envelope, prepaid from the finish point to your home address. You can also forward the mailer envelope to end cache if you wish. All bugs without an envelope that reach the finish line will have any extra race related tags removed and then be re-released from finish point allowing you to modify their mission. Enjoy the Race!

Just posting my thoughts as they wander into my brain. I have been calling the race "2003 Great Canadian Coast to Coast TB Race" Any other suggestions

Mrs. Coaster sternly informs me that June 21st is not going to happen. New date July 5th. Any comments?

As I am typing the email request it shows up in my inbox. Thanks Boreal

I was going to post the address this morning, but I thought it might be premature. I think we need to get the rules posted so that everyone can create instruction cards to attach to their TB's if they wish. To: Boreal Please send me an email so I can getyou some info and we can get the rest of the page running. Or at least some of the critical areas to get the entries started.

Well I will throw this out for discusion. We have 6 pretty much confirmed and a potential 4 more uncommitted. I think any more than 1 TB is enough for a race. Therefore I would like to suggest a race start date of June 21st 2003. As to the finish line it looks like I have a good contact in the Halifax area rite now. Nothing confirmed yet but I am confident we will have a definate local soon. If anyone else is working on a finish line cache please let me know and we will pick the best candidate. The Race is open to anyone who wants to enter a TB from any country. Rules will be posted here and on the web page by tommorrow. Please read as you will probably want to attatch a card to your TB telling geocachers what your TB's goal is. One rule will be an official TB Tag. We want to get support from Groundspeak and any other potential sponsors so I am sure this rule would help. Most of my thoughts mirror those of junglehair so I would expect the rule to follow along those lines. I just need time to make it official. I will post final entry requirements by Thursday. To: junglehair I would like to personally thank you for your advice to the cause here. I think we will definately need your expertise going forward. Look forward to your entry. Let's see some pics of the entrants folks. [This message was edited by WCoaster on May 05, 2003 at 09:28 AM.]
