+Edsfind Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 The race is coming up this Saturday, can't wait! Here's a picture of what a prepared Racer Cow looks like: I'll be updating the racer list tonight, so if you've activated your cows, links to your cows will be updated. If you haven't, please do, and thanks! nice job! they look great, thanks for putting this together. Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks, but the thanks goes to Moozer for partnering up, and for all of you racers for racing! : ) Quote

If you haven't, please do, and thanks! They look great I'm also releasing the four cows that I have in Spain, whose mission is to get to Sonoma in April 2012 ... is difficult but not impossible!

+keewee Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Finally got content into my racers homepages! There seem to be a number of racers still missing from the event page...? Quote
+Moozer Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Yes, I have more cows than have been dropped into the event. If you own one of the event cows, please drop it in - the event starts in a few hours! Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 Just to back up what Moozer said -- please get your cows into the event if they're not in there already. I think most of 'em are, but there might be some stragglers. Mooove it! ; ) Quote
+Moozer Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 The cows had a wonderful time at the GeoRally event, and are now headed out in all directions to start their adventures I posted a picture of the entire herd at the cache page (coord.info/gc2nrd3). Quote
+keewee Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 One of mine has been logged as being picked up already and I hear it is travelling across country very soon - YAY! (That's if my handle on US geography is correct...) Quote
+sheltiedogshowlover Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Oh, and just remembered to move them to the event! Wait.. how do you move them to the event after activating them? Mine is activated.. but I didn't move it to the event on it's page.. Quote
+sheltiedogshowlover Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Oh, and just remembered to move them to the event! Wait.. how do you move them to the event after activating them? Mine is activated.. but I didn't move it to the event on it's page.. Figured it out. Quote

+redwingrr Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 One of mine has been logged as being picked up already and I hear it is travelling across country very soon - YAY! (That's if my handle on US geography is correct...) Wow - Way to go, keewee! First thing I did when I woke up was run to the computer to check on my cows! But they're still shown at the event. My fingers are crossed that they're actually in good hands and having so much fun they're too busy to log in. Who knew cows could be so exciting!? Quote

LMAO - yes, who knew... shame the GW9 doves weren't trackable too - we could be having bird and bovine races! :laughing: Edited May 15, 2011 by keewee Quote

Thanks so much Moozer - you did a great job outfitting the tags for us. Love the pic too! This event sounds so fun - I would love to meet my cows there next year. We visited that area once and it's so beautiful. Quote
+L_Y_H Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Yeah, Susi moved her first miles ! Thanks Jackalgirl and Moozer for organising this race !! Quote
+sheltiedogshowlover Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 SORELLA! was picked up by a hockey fan! What more could I have asked for! Can't wait to see her travels! Quote
+goosefraba1 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 MooJuice is still stuck in the mud from the moshpit :/ Quote
+Moozer Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I just sent out a reminder to the attendees to log the cows out of the event - gotta get those mooers moving! Quote
+L_Y_H Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Alma, Berta and Susi have all been retrieved from the event and 2 of them moved their first miles. It's fun to see all the cows move. I need more races, who's going to organize the next ? :-) Quote
+mamoreb Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Thanks for hosting the event, it sounds like a lot of fun! Both of my cows are still listed at the event... I suppose all were picked up? Quote
+Moozer Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Yes, they were all picked up - I made sure of that. It looks like I just tired some folks out too much with the hunt, and they haven't recovered enough to do the logging! Quote
+mamoreb Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Thank you, I'll wait patiently. Hopefully they will have recovered and be ready to geocache again this weekend! Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 I've gotten the race standings list updated! If you find a log with particularly nice pictures and would like me to post about them on the site, let me know (I'll contact the cacher for permission to use the photos first, of course) -- if you take any that are cool, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email (greatcowtagrace@grafikato.com) and I'll put up a blog post about 'em. In the next day or so (family/time willing), I'll start pulling together and reposting details about the upcoming non-racer "cowtests", too, for those of you who bought regular tags (which are, btw, still available). Go cows go! Quote
+J the Goat Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Any way you could post a link in this forum to the standings page? Quote

+keewee Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 My cows are not moving ...they are sick? Actually - I think they're now burgers... :laughing: Quote

+redwingrr Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 So sorry to hear about the burgers. All my cows are now on the mooove! Mooo! Chico just got picked up yesterday... Yes!!! Quote
+mamoreb Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 What are the odds that BOTH of my cows are among those six cows that decided to surrender themselves to the fastfood industry... Quote

LMAO... with my usual luck in races, I'm surprised mine are still alive!!! I usually loose at least one racer either out of the blocks or at the first cache! Quote
+sheltiedogshowlover Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Mine moved 152 miles now! Go with speed little cow! Quote
+Edsfind Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 my cow moved 25miles its on the go>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quote
+sheltiedogshowlover Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 What are the odds that BOTH of my cows are among those six cows that decided to surrender themselves to the fastfood industry... I hope your cow just decided to go hang out with the happy cows in california! You need a herding dog like I have though to protect your cow from the evil sheep though.. Quote

+mamoreb Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 What?? Those are MY two cows in your video! I should have known, sending them off to the US, that they'd swap to the modeling industry... Seriously, one more cow has escaped from the butcher, but of course none of mine were clever enough to follow. Quote

(from a cows perspective) Mooooving right along... Quote
+sheltiedogshowlover Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 how do the standings look? I know my cow has mooooved since the last ones were posted. Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Howdy! Okay, so maybe getting these updated once a week is beyond my capabilities, sigh. But I did just update the standings, and now I've got a tickler in my calender to yell at me every week, heh. It looks like there's been an upset -- Moozilla moves into first place! Most Original Tag & Squee! Cowtests The cowtests for these two categories closes out on July 18, 2011, which is a mere month and some in change from now. From the Cowtests page: Most Original Tag - Tag with the most original item attached. The actual “bug” attached to the tag should somehow relate to the theme of charity, especially self-sustaining charity. A winner will be announced on July 18th, 2011. Squee! - The most adorable Tag, as judged by panel of guest judges. A winner will be announced on July 18th, 2011. Make sure you check out Snoogans’ TB Longevity Clinic for hints on how to make your tags less attractive to thieves, as cute tags/bugs are often targets. If you've got an interesting/original and/or cute-as-a-button tag you'd like to submit to either (or both) cowtests, please send me a photo and a writeup via greatcowtagrace@grafikato.com. I'll add it to the list of entries for the applicable cowtest(s). I'd also welcome neat photos from the racers, too, so if you see that someone's posted something cool and you want to brag about it, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email to greatcowtagrace@grafikato.com. I'll touch base with the cacher for permission to post the photo and add it to the gallery if an affirmative is received. Cheers! Quote
