Almost time for the 7th Day Of Elimination!

5...4...3...2...1...

With only two days until the 7th entry is eliminated from The Great Travel Bug Knockout, the situation is looking bleak for G-X's Voodoo Whodo What You Don't Dare Do People (Racer Bug) TB, which has been missing since last month.

Not too many moves to report in the last couple of weeks; current 3rd place holder, Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) Travel Bug was placed into this cache, adding 14.16 miles to it's distance travelled, and from where it was retrieved by Canadian cacher DisneyGirl. DG has indicated that she may move it to an Alaskan cache soon, hopefully breaking LaP(Maan) out of the circular holding pattern that it seems to be stuck in in British Columbia.

Smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer Travel Bug was placed into this popular Swedish cache, adding 8.61 miles, and was soon picked up by local cacher oskargeo.

After an extended stay of over three months in a Scottish cache, castlegrice's George's Fun Bus 2 TB has been collected by cacher cumbycritter.

Finally, wemnog's The Skylark Bug, which was in the hands of cacher hedgehogmad has been retrieved from this cache by cacher elliott150, with no evidence of how it got there (not the first time that this has happened to The Skylark!). Assuming that the little sailing boat was placed into this cache immediately from it's previous home (although it should be noted that LSL#09 is a premium member only cache and hedgehogmad is not a premium member of Geocaching.com), I have added 3.11 miles to TS's official Knockout distance covered.

A trio of retrievals

I've had some difficulty updating the blog recently, but everything seems okay now, so here goes;

Firstly, wemnog's The Skylark TB was picked up by cacher hedgehogmad.

Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) Travel Bug was placed into this cache by cacher gottagonow, from where it was retrieved by fellow Canadian jrhere. As gottagonow had already dipped LaP(Maan) into a cache, no milage was added to Hediya's Bug's race distance in The Great Travel Bug Knockout.

Third of the trio to be collected was Smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer, which is now in the possession of Swedish cacher froderik.

I'm trying to ascertain if fuzziebear3's Happy Hoppy TB is still residing in the cache that it is logged into, as several cachers have visited the cache recently, but none have mentioned whether the little amphibian is present or missing.

Finally, isn't it typical, but my own The Exterminator! TB was eliminated from The Knockout six months ago, and has just been logged into a cache in Mallorca, more than 1000 miles away...
