+mamoreb Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 What happens in a case like this? My coin was in GC2G3HB and was taken by someone who didn't log it out. Today it was grabbed out of GC1M28N which it was never logged into. There is 323 miles between the two caches, so am I out of luck or is there a way I can claim the 323 miles? You could definitely contact the person who grabbed the coin from GC1M28N and ask them to log the coin as "visited" in that cache, before they log it into a new cache. Normally you could also do that job yourself, after the cacher has dropped the coin: Retrieve the coin from the most recent cache - drop and retrieve or simply visit in GC1M28N - drop again in the most recent cache. Since you haven't actually visited these caches yourself, you would perfom these actions by using a "write note" type of log instead of "found it" log, and then delete the "note" logs after the mission has been accomplished. HOWEVER, since the coin is part of a race, I'm not sure that you (race participant) are allowed to perform any of the logging yourself. I would try asking the person who holds the coin now, to do it for you. Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 WOW! I had almost forgoten about my racer! Well... it is still in a cache! It's been there for 2 months!! huh... probably it is not a well visited cache..... so definatelly not good for a racer! When the coin was first droped there I was in the 5th place... and now I am on the 11th..... my only hopes is if someone takes it to Australia or New Zealand... and bring it back! huh!

+The Blorenges Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Seeing this topic yesterday prompted me to chase up The Blorenges Travel Express which hasn't moved since February. I emailed the few cachers who found the cache it's (supposed to be) in up to when a cacher logged that "no trackables in the cache". One reply so far from one who didn't notice the coin when he visited, but it's always nice to get a response even if it doesn't help much so I sent an email to thank him for getting in touch. Never mind. It might re-appear somewhere. Is there a table of the current leaders somewhere? Have I missed a link to it? MrsB Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) I do not know if there is a leader's list of something....

The Travel Express Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 To All, I have all the totals completed and had a person here in Canada trying to help me post the standings. (it didn't work) I know just enough about a computer to get in trouble. I have decided to honor the top (7) finishers in four catagories as winners. I will be traveling back to the states tomorrow and will try again once I get home. I will also post the total miles, geocachers, caches and logs. After that has been completed I plan to send out adoption request so everyone can change the mission of thier racer. I hope some find thier way back to the train station. GaryM Quote Link to comment
+Mar-elendili Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have given up hope about this. My train has been in the hands of wogunhiker for almost a year and they didn't reply to my polite emails regarding the traveller. Another one that gets stolen or forgotten about. Anyway, there are more important things in this world! Quote Link to comment
