Unhappy Hoppy

No doubt you're all dying from the suspense, but now it can be revealed: the entry in The Great Travel Bug Knockout eliminated on July 1st was fuzziebear3's Happy Hoppy Travel Bug, and somehow I just can't help but think that whoever found the little amphibian resting in it's box experienced something like this...

Ah, a redo of the classic One Froggy Evening, possibly the greatest Merry Melody of them all? Oh, and am I the only one who loved that scene in Mel Brooks' Spaceballs..?

Although we bid farewell to the little green fellow, life goes on for other entries in The Knockout, with cooper troopers' the noble traveller TB adding 257.78 miles to it's distance travelled by being placed into this interesting puzzle/multi cache near Arnhem in the east of The Netherlands.

Another entry to add some milage to it's total is Smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer TB, which logged another 38.79 miles after being placed into this Swedish cache.

Slovenian cachers Kassiopeia82 dipped lgxkls' Hazards of Geocaching 1 - Karon's Knockout Racer into this cache, then dropped it into this one.

Finally, wemnog's The Skylark Travel Bug continues it's voyage around the caches of Greater London, having been retrieved by cacher Oofy.

Although we're now down to the final ten surviving entries in The Great Travel Bug Knockout things are looking healthy with entries currently available for retrieval from caches in 7 different countries on 3 continents; the U.K., France, the Netherlands, Sweden and Slovenia in Europe, plus Canada in North America and New Zealand in Australasia. Go get 'em cachers!

Knockout Ferrari and Smart Car 10 both back on the road again

Jacaru can relax, as the owners of the cache that it went missing from, VWjunkies, have revealed that they retrieved Knockout Ferrari from the cache on June 1st.

Also on the move is Smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer TB, which was retrieved from the cache that it was resting in by local cacher mr45acp, who then placed it into this cache 1.54 miles away, and from where it has since been snaffled up by fellow Swede Stefan H.

Smart451's entry makes another smart move

That always happens...

Yes, just as I update the blog for the first time in three days, a cacher decides to place one of the entries in The Great Travel Bug Knockout into a cache! In this cache, Swedish cacher Dilboket has dropped smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer TB into this remote picturesque cache (whose name translates into English as Take me to the sea) south-east of Västervik, adding 94.16 miles to it's distance travelled.
