Travelling without moving

I've been rummaging around for my 9-inch square of black silk this morning as I've had to pass my first judgement regarding a rule infringement in The Great Travel Bug Knockout.

The specific rule in question is Rule 3: Only the first move by a cacher will count. This rule was broken when cacher peigimaccann retrieved Jacaru's Knockout Ferrari Travel Bug from the cache that she had placed it in and then placed it into this one, 30.07 miles away. It's quite possible that peigimaccann mistakenly logged Knockout Ferrari into the wrong cache, but I'm counting her first placing as a dip, therefore the subsequent 30.07 miles have not been added to KF's official milage. The column to the right shows the correct current order of entries in The Knockout, but for correct official milage please scroll down to the bottom of this page.

Naturally, the entrant of Knockout Ferrari may appeal this docking of milage by posting a comment to this blog post. Just don't expect me to change my mind ;-)

New Knockout leader (by about 5000 miles!)

I think that I can confidently say that Jacaru's Knockout Ferrari Travel Bug is safe from elimination this month from The Great Travel Bug Knockout after cacher peigimccann placed it into this Californian cache, adding a whopping 5,044 miles to it's distance travelled.

Oddly enough, this sign near to the cache says that access is PROHIBITED...


The upside of this placement for the rest of us is that the cache is so full of trackables that finders may be spoilt for choice and take a different one. Although a goldplated Ferrari does attract the eye somewhat!

Bugs on the run

Three Travel Bugs entered in The Great Travel Bug Knockout have been retrieved from the caches that they were residing in;

Jacaru's Knockout Ferrari has been picked up by Californian cacher peigimccann. An amazing retrieval, when you consider that the Event Cache that Knockout Ferrari was logged into isn't being held until this coming Friday!

Next is Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan), which, after being ignored by experienced cacher Pierre7749 (obviously a man who dislikes hippies!), has been snaffled up by newbie cacher Jamie.Smith.

Thirdly (and most importantly of course) my own The Exterminator! Travel Bug has been retrieved from Wolviston Services TB, GC Hotel (A19,A689) by Cache Owners .Star.Wards. during a maintenance visit.
