+GaryM53 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) GaryM53 (Conductor of the "Travel Bug Express Train") has finished his project in Kansas and has traveled back to Abilene, Texas. He jumped in the train and traveled North to a Mega Event before returning to pick up passengers. The train was loaded with ten passengers that boarded when he stopped by Geocoinfest in Omaha Nebraska. When he pulled into the train station (GC15XZ1) in Abilene, Texas, to let the passengers off, he found Daffy Duck (his assistant) sleeping in the back office. This was not good. Daffy was supposed to be running the station while GaryM53 was away and tracking the "Blue Hummer Race". GaryM53 told Daffy to shape up or he would be replaced with Bugs Bunny. OK Daffy, Here's what I want you to do. Track down all the Blue Hummers in the race and total all the miles traveled to date. Once you have this done we need to have a contest for anyone that wants to be in it. The contest will be to guess the total miles traveled as of midnight October, 24th. The winner will receive a 15 Years of Geocaching Geocoin, Abilene, Texas edition! They only get one guess and the person who guesses the closest wins. The contest will end the end of October. There is (38) Blue Hummers in the race and they have been racing since April, 19th. YOU CAN FOLLOW THE START OF THE RACE HERE - Is it time for another Geocoin Race?
