+vespax Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 OK. Plans are in the works. The TB train will be leaving on Tuesday bound for the seldom heard from EC! If any hitchers are catching this chain out there, they need to get to me by no later than Monday night (16/10/06. I stay in the Wynberg section of Cape Town, for your reference. PM or SMS if you need to get logistical info from me. A big thanks to the non-geocacher for playing shipping container on this route!!! ALL ABOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDD!!!!!!!! Quote
+Tricky Vicky & Mickey Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Are you coming to the New York Bagel on Sunday, Vespax? Quote
+vespax Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 No, can't make it but I can meet up wwith people after 12:30 on Sunday if you want to get a cache or trade a TB with me. Quote
+vespax Posted October 15, 2006 Author Posted October 15, 2006 Still haven't heard about any bugs going for the ride! I grabbed a racer yesterday up on that mountain by the sea, do the money flows east. Quote
+GlobalRat Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 You have my mail. Have a good inventory, so hopefully all comes together. Quote
+Seeker Two Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 I am planning on going to PE on Saturday 28 October. I will pick up all the race TBs and bring them back to Gauteng (unless otherwise instructed by owners). This might be in violation of Rule #17 so GlobalRat must approve it. Seeker Two Quote
+vespax Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 OK, as I type this there are 8 race TB's jetting off to the Eastern Cape and one flipflop TB for the good times out there! Big thanks to ZAlandyman and Globalrat for going the extra mile/kilometer to get some bugz in place. Now for the rondevou out there..... Quote
+GlobalRat Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 I am planning on going to PE on Saturday 28 October. I will pick up all the race TBs and bring them back to Gauteng (unless otherwise instructed by owners). This might be in violation of Rule #17 so GlobalRat must approve it. Seeker Two No violation. If possible, try and place the TB's in different caches. Alternatively get them into a high traffic cache so that they can disperse quickly and continue with the race. Thanks to everyone's efforts in getting the TB's to PE and hopefully out again. Should open things up and give a few more TB's a fighting chance to finish the race and who knows, perhaps even win.

+Seeker Two Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 My flight is booked for the 28th October to PE. Will bring back the bugs to Gauteng and so hopefully all the bugs may have time to complete all required pitstops. Will the bugs all be in How Green Is My Valley?? Quote

Vespax has been in contact with Perdix... so we hope so! <crackle>.........<crackle>........Perdix......<crackle>.......Perdix........<crackle>...... Quote
+vespax Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 Still waiting to hear from him. I may have to break down and use that old thing called a telephone to coordinate this!!!!! I can confirm that the TB's have landed. The non-geocacher gave me some bad looks when I walked into the terminal today with arms full of TB's! But in the end she took them along. How could she deny all those cute toys in plastic baggies? I will post when they get to the cache...... hopefully...... otherwise I might have single-handily screwed the whole 2006 race for most people. Mines not in the lot though, so I am safe to win! Quote
perdix Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Comms received, will be delighted to play host to the TBs for a while. Will contact Vespax to sort out logistics of it all. Don't know if they will all be in "How Green is My Valley" though! Quote
+Larks Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Vespa, you really do know how to make the non-geocacher feel special! I would've paid to see the look on her face when you handed over a whole pile of toys for her to carry to the EC! Quote
perdix Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) The Eagle(s) have landed. Well I don't know what look she gave Vespax when he asked her, but she was most sprightly when I picked them up from her I now have in my possession 8 race TBs: GM Tortoise (2 more pitstops to visit after HGIMV), Rabid Rooster (1 more to visit), Simply the Best (7 more to visit), Demon Sheep (4 more to visit), Kayak Racer (1 more to visit), Dude (1 more to visit), Cash Bug (4 more to visit), (edited to add) Office Croc (2 more to visit) Question time: Do all the owners want me to place the TBs in HGIMV for pickup by Seeker2, or should I disperse them a bit? I am open to bribes persuasion. Edited October 18, 2006 by perdix Quote
+Tricky Vicky & Mickey Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 PLEASE, PLEASE, Pretty Please ........ Definitely the race cache for Timothy - we will be grateful forever! Many thanks to Globalrat, Vespax, the Non-Geocacher and Perdix for all their help AND Seeker Two for your help next weekend - we do so appreciate it. Quote
+GlobalRat Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Da Rooster would like to go to the pitstop pleeez Quote
Bjbez Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 It would be super if you could place Kayak Racer in the pitstop for Seeker Two to bring back. Thanks! Quote
+Rathlan Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Perdix, I'd love it if you could place Cash Bug into the pit stop... thanks! I'm keen to get it moving towards KZN some time... any volunteers heading in that direction? Quote
+cownchicken Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 :PPerdix please place Demon Sheep in the pitstop for Seeker Two to pick up. His owners are currently packing up to go live in London and are so busy at the moment that we will be looking after his welfare until they are settled over there. Thanks to all who have helped him in the last while. Quote
+batsgonemad and his squirrel Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Perdix please dude can you place dude in the pitstop Quote
perdix Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 TBs will be placed as soon as "gifts" (read beer) have arrived Seeker2 and I have been in contact - rest assured that all race TBs will be placed before he arrives. Quote
