+yanagi Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Oh yeah, I'm a driver as well! It is a great idea and I really appreciate you are organising this fun. I'm sure No. 8 will win Quote Link to comment
+GaryM53 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) This is the new remodeled TB Train Station (the one on the right)the Hummers will be leaving from! The rest of this week will be spent organizing the Hummers and Hot Wheels for their journey. The small Cache was the original Train Station built in 2007. Once I have a chance to review my address book I will send out e-mails for the addresses I don't have. This will take a few days.

Ingwaz Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Last night I met the inventor of K.I.T.T. and he gave me some special gimmicks and gadgets to instal in my Hummer (#19). I would rather bet I'll win the race. Edited March 22, 2015 by Ingwaz Quote Link to comment
+Strombus Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Last night I met the inventor of K.I.T.T. and he gave me some special gimmicks and gadgets to install in my Hummer (#19). Gary, is that legal??? Quick, quick, make a rule against it! Or for it! Hungarians are good inventors, if he can do it, we will surely come up with something, too! I already have some ideas! Wings! Or remote control that will drive my car from one cache to the next! So that will take care of visiting the most caches and travelling the most miles. But, it will also drive to every event on its way to get all the "discovered" logs. No one can steal it, because it will simply drive away at the end of the event or from anyone's backpack. It will be solar powered which will work well as the race is taking place mostly in the sunny period of the year. The flat roof is perfect for installing the solar panel. I will just need to move the #22 sticker from the top to the back or front of the car so the solar panel does not cover it. "The First Environmentally Friendly Hummer" award should be given to this car, too! Quote Link to comment

Car #19 is heading for the Hummer hospital for a quick overhaul and check-up. The cars will remain under lock and key until they ship out. I found one car with the floor boards cut out! Fred Flintstone was in the back seat sleeping and when I woke him up he said the racer's owner wanted him to yaba-daba-doo the car along cache to cache.
