Wow, my racer was a big stinker in this race. Ā Pathetic! Ā Not only did it rack up a shockingly small amount of miles, it managed to get second to last place so I didn’t even get to earn bragging rights for the worst bug! Ā Pretty lame.
Now I need to ask myself what amazing thing can I put together to get more miles this time?

09/22/2016 at 8:59 am #2051660Our racer was stolen by one of the first three cachers to handle it, now that’s lame. Lacknothing was kind enough to mail the remains back to us, which consisted solely of our racer’s info card and a mysterious little green card (saying that it had been “discovered by …”). That’s pretty much soured us on entering another one in the future. AlsoĀ sure we’ll never drop someone’s TB in the West Bend area. Oh well….

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

I totally understand your frustration, I’ve had lots of bugs go missing. Ā But it isn’t really the fault of the race, it’s inconsiderate geocachers. Ā I hope you enter again!

09/22/2016 at 1:29 pm #2051663No, it’s not the fault of the race. But nearly every TB or Geocoin we’ve released has gone missing and we’re just tired of throwing the money away. And you’re right about the inconsiderate cachers out there, seems like there’s a pretty good mix of experienced cachersĀ and newbies in that category. Pretty sad evolution for such a fun hobby. Enough of the soapbox though.
On a good note though, you can still claim bragging rights for worstĀ bug since we pulled ours from the race when we got the bits and pieces back.
