+retphoto Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Well After one Full Week I see Travel BUgs scattered all over the NorthEast. Oscar's Express seems to have jumped out to an early start, and is in Tennessee already with a good lead. Herbie is OHIO, along with Screaming Gogomobile. There are almost 2 dozen bugs in Pa, and everyone else is still in New York.... And in true Cannonball fashion, Burt & DOm, Cannonball Mrs Toad, Gimpy Viper, Hacksaw Cannonball SWAT, MIG 21 Fighter Jet, Pour Me A BUD, Travel Buggy and Yellow Schoolbus, are about 150 miles east of the starting grid in NorthEast New York. For a "global view" see 2003 Cannonball Run Map There is nothing like a Packrat who is a geocacher. Quote Link to comment
+junglehair Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Tell those travel bugs to get a move on - they are so bunched up it's hard to tell one from another. According to the map, it looks like there have been a couple of big pile ups! Quote Link to comment
+ict X ckr Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Anyone near "Boys will be boys"? sure could use a push.... Quote Link to comment
+Tubby Rower Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I kind of hope that oscar gets slowed up a bit. It's no fun when someone takes one through 4 states. Are there still any in the event cache? kc row, row, row your boat Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 There are still at least 15 bugs that either haven't been logged out of the event cache, or haven't been placed in a second cache. It's been two weeks! And one of the bugs I'd like to help move along has been logged improperly (placed physically in a cache, but not "dropped" on the web page). I suppose this is par for the course with travel bugs. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x I was formerly employed by the Department of Redundancy Department, but I don't work there anymore.

+retphoto Posted March 24, 2003 Author Share Posted March 24, 2003 Ok the Second full week of the Great Cannonball Race is over. There's been a lot of grumbling on the sidelines, but Oscar still Holds First Place in Tennessee. Although stats place Herbie in Second, the following bugs are in Ohio, Reno Rum Runner,Screaming GoGO mobile, and tilly and Toby tortoises... Pennsylvania appears to have gotten a few more bugs, and there's beem movement AWAY from teh Erie Region...which seem to be over loaded with Bugs. Meanwhile back in NEW York Burt & DOm still appears to be resting in the North East Corner going the wrong way.....and He's not Alone. Yellow SchoolBus seems to goign the same way. A few other bugs who were headed that way got their act together and turned around and are sitting in the Syracuse region. There's also a rumour that a few bugs are still sitting near the starting gate. Till next week this is your Bug-reporter geo-packrat out There is nothing like a Packrat who is a geocacher.

+retphoto Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 Well with the Start of the 3rd weekend we see what appears to be a Detour for the Lead bug. It'll be interesting to watch this development. AS of last night that stats were: NY 42 PA 18 OH 11 WV 1 GA 1 AS reported by "Junglehair" to check how your bug is doing in relationship to other bugs check out this linkrace stats(if someone will let me know who created this website, I will passone the Proper credit!!!) it looks like warm weather(with some rain in most of the northeast) so we should see some major movement this weekend. And maybe those poor souls left at the starting gate will finally head out. Bug reporter Geo-packrat out... There is nothing like a Packrat who is a geocacher. Quote Link to comment
+strikeforce1 Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Once you are at the Cannonball Main Pg. scroll down to "Credits" and click, several names are there, including Brogan - Founder of race, and Dekaner, Junglehair and more. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Looks like Herbie needs to go back to Pennsylvania and actually BE LOGGED INTO a cache there. According to his placements, he skipped a state. CaptainChaos says he visited a cache in Penn., but didn't log it correctly. Quote Link to comment

Brogan Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 The Herbie "question" is being addressed as of now, the owner of the cache in question has been contacted and will be (hopefully) checking the logbook to verify the drop-off and subsequent removal of Herbie. Once I receive word from the cache owner a decision will be made on wether Herbie needs to return to PA or not. Quote Link to comment
+retphoto Posted March 31, 2003 Author Share Posted March 31, 2003 Major Hi-jinks goign on.... Without going into too much detail, I found out that several bugs have been found in new caches that were NOT logged!!! this is going to reek chaos for those poor souls trying to keep track of teh bugs. There is nothing like a Packrat who is a geocacher. Quote Link to comment
+retphoto Posted April 8, 2003 Author Share Posted April 8, 2003 Herbie Appears to be in the LEAD....however on looking at a Map I would say that Oscar's Express is Tied....both have 4 states to travel(best routes) 23 Bugs in OHIO, 2 in West Virginia 12 in Pa,and the remainder still in NEW YORK(including 5 that still appear to be in NORTH east New York) There is nothing like a Packrat who is a geocacher.
