Blind_Squirrel Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Here is an idea. If a few of us cachers got together and started a bug each at the same cache and each one had to go through various cities and back. Kind of a cannonball run or tour de USA type thing.Of course depending on the size of the trip would determine how long this race would go on. Ive been looking at starting something like this. If anyone interested or have other ideas on it let me know. Quote Link to comment
+Dekaner Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I'm in. What are the rules? Do we get special matching bugs? - Dekaner of Team KKF2A Quote Link to comment
Blind_Squirrel Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Still working on the rules. it depends on the theme for the race as to the items we use as our travelers. for example: if we call it a cannonball run then it would be a vehicle of some sort. Quote Link to comment
+Sabby Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 The Cannonball Run is already in progress. 4 cars with travel bugs (all by a single owner) started on the coast of California in Dec 2001 with the objective of being the first car to be within sight of the Atlantic Ocean. I moved a Firebird hot wheels car from the Capital District of NY to Portland Maine in May 2002. It won the race. The owner then set a new objective for the cars. Be the first to travel around the world and get back to California. There are several other car type races in progress. Check out the travelbug pages. There is no reason you cant set up a race with the objective that each car has to visit certain cities in a given order. The field is wide open. Good luck! Hope I get a chance to help the race.

+Frolickin Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 This sounds like it would be fun. The problem with a sprint kind of race is that we are all in different parts. I think, perhaps, an obstacle course of sorts would be interesting. If there were five folks involved, then the bugs would have five starting points. The race could be the first bug to be logged in those five caches. Fro. ________________________________________ Geocaching . . . hiking with a purpose Quote Link to comment
+bldebabe Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Sounds like a great idea. Please let us know the details and when you'd like to start. Quote Link to comment
ubiquitous Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 I have to travel to upstate NY to drop off my bug There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure. Mark Twain Quote Link to comment

Blind_Squirrel Posted July 30, 2002 Author Share Posted July 30, 2002 I will be at the saracuse geocachers picnic this sat and will discuss this topic with other cachers and determine the rules for this. Maybe we can come up with something not tried before. Quote Link to comment
