Do the bugs need to be back at the 2013 picnic?

No. That's just when the race ends and the stats will be taken.

would be interesting to see if any make it back. Could put that in the mission statement, maybe someone would actually read and honor the request. could be another prize catagory Smile

If anyone is interested in a slightly less expensive travel bug tag, we have a limited number of "TrekTags" for sale in the WGA Store.

I'm not horsin' around... going with a TB with horsepower... Woody's trusty horse Bullseye. He's so darn cute... sure hope he doesn't have a run-in with rustlers!

Has it been figured out what the 'replacement' procedure/policy will be? I know that it was a point that was mention before and was wondering if that discussion had taken place.

I like the idea of a prize for any that return back to the picnic 2013. I will have to add that to the mission statement.

What do you think we should do for replacements? If someone puts out a replacement, and the original shows back up, that is going to really mess with miles.

Not sure about that and it did cross my mind. Was just wondering as it seemed to be an open question. If we did come up with some sort of process, it would have to include that the replacement needed to be placed back in the last cache it was logged into. That in it's self could be an issue for some of the racers, but that would only be the correct way to 'restart' a TB.

I also would think that if someone grabs it from another cacher, that might not be a problem, since no miles are logged. They really should drop it into a cache and then let the other one grab it, but we know that cacher-to-cacher grabs do happen quite often.

Well back to waxing up the old 'vet so it looks good for the race. I did contact the PD to see if they really used a C6 and was told no. Was hoping for a pic of one for the TB page. Very Happy

If you have your TB ready to go, don't forget to enter it in the race. Click here to go to the tb-run website. The password is "travel-position".
The more TBs registered before the picnic, the better. There will be limited time to make sure everyone is registered during the event.

No replacements, never know if they'll show back up. Maybe a moment of silence at next year's picnic to honor lost TBs and a memorial cache that the owners can drop them in
