+Team Donutdog Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 We don't have a racer ourselves, but we moved several Cannonball racers in Ohio - it's fun watching their movements across the country (and sad to see the ones that go missing). I know the race had its ups and downs, but I enjoyed it I'm wondering if maybe the next one could be a "no intentional interference allowed" race (despite the spirit of the original cannonball run), as there is enough unintended interference due to racing mistakes and lost bugs, and because the intentional interferers seem to have been the source of the most anxiety in this race. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment

+Team GPSaxophone Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I've already found the cache your bug is in Planet. I'd offer to take it to California with me tomorrow, but we're not allowed to move other racers.

+LaughingGravy Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 team laughing gravy would like to respond to team geo-remdation's 'bump'! just where does the Cantering Velociraptor need to return to officially continue the race? It was logged into a cache in Alabama - so somplace in Mississippi? and I wonder if the 4x4 Lightning knows that it's in a moving cache - an that cache's current goal is to go back to Utah (East). and what ever happened to Herbie? Congratulations to the first 3 finishers of the first Travel Bug Cannonball! Luck and determination were with you all! It is great fun watching the progress of this race!

By looking at the log the Raptor went from NY to PA to OH- all good moves. Then he jumped to AL and GA, SC, Ca. To me it looks like he needs to go back to a neighboring state to OH- IN or KY being the best bets for movig to CA. Oh well, I am glad my HumVee's detours where very minor compared to this Raptors!
