Hoppy is Happy now!

Cacher Grey-n-Red has placed fuzziebear3's Happy Hoppy Travel Bug into this cache near to the city of Spencer, West Virginia, giving Hoppy an opening milage of 161.57, sufficient to move the jolly little amphibian up into 2nd place overall in The Great Travel Bug Knockout.

Check out this page for more information on the cache that fuzziebear3's TB has been placed into. It's part of a series that has been financed by the area's local Chamber of Commerce to bring geotourists into the area (does this contravene Groundspeak's rules regarding commercial caches?) and local companies have supplied prizes and swag for the caches, and there's even a special geocoin been made up for the first 100 finders. I wonder if this sort of series will take off over here in the U.K.?

Dropped off AND picked up!

It takes Real Talent to drop a Travel Bug into a cache and have the person who found the cache before you retrieve it, but fuzziebear3 managed it! She placed her Happy Hoppy TB into this newly published cache in the U.S. state of Ohio. Fuzziebear3 arrived whilst the previous finder of the cache, Grey-n-Red, was still present, so passed her entry in The Great Travel Bug Knockout directly on to him to move along. Simples!
