Silicon Valley Tb Race

[+Johnnie Stalkers]

The Great Technology Travel Bug Race of 2004.

 

We are holding a travel bug race from Cincinnati, Ohio to Silicon Valley and back again. The race will begin Saturday August 28th. All the travel bugs are technologically themed, like this:

 

 

The problem we have is that none of us are familiar enough with West Coast geography to accurately define and communicate what constitutes 'silicon valley' in regards to where the bugs need to land before heading home.

 

I am seeking a volunteer, or volunteers, who would be interested in allowing us to use their Silicon Valley cache(s?) as a checkpoint. Some of the bugs are a little bulky so the containers would need to be atleast a 50 cal ammo box.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest using Travel Bug Coffee Break as the checkpoint. It is centrally located near all of the places that claim to be silicon valley (Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Santa Clara, San Jose). The cache itself is located in Cupertino, is inside a coffee store that has limited hours, but is a safe place for bugs (since the owners and employees are aware of the cache and watch over it). You could send off a note to the cache owner to see if she wouldn't mind it being used for the checkpoint.

I don't have any suggestions but maybe you could change the destination to the Central Valley area like in Sacramento cause I believe that there is some good TB INNs there.

Marky's suggestion is good.

It is only a few miles away from Apple (also in Cupertino), a HP facility (formerly Compaq, formerly Tandem), and is in the town south of Sunnyvale (National Semiconductor, AMD) and Santa Clara (Intel).
