Is geocaching about to become less hazardous?

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

With four days until the next elimination, things are not looking good for mat smith's Hazards of Geocaching 2 (The Sheep) John's Knockout Racer Travel Bug, which is currently almost 200 miles behind it's nearest competitor and is in the hands of an occassional cacher who hasn't cached since picking up the woolly TB.

In fact, the only entry in The Great Travel Bug Knockout which has moved this week is Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) TB, which Quebecois cacher new8812 placed into this new cache (after visiting 12 more in the area!), where it was quickly retrieved by fellow Canadian Musicien. He, in turn placed it into another newly-placed cache, adding 1.31 miles to LaP(Maan)'s total milage covered, from where it was picked-up a couple of days later by geric1 who still has possession of the trackable.

the noble traveller cleans up

German cacher Flixsi retrieved cooper troopers' the noble traveller Travel Bug from the Whovian multicache that it was residing in. A few days later it was grabbed by fellow German Orphik at this CITO Event 156.62 miles away. Interestingly, Flixsi has not logged an attended at this event, but did attend an earlier event, but Orphik didn't. This means that the noble traveller possibly spent time in the hands of another cacher in between. If the missing link (not that one!) is found, then I'll add any extra distance covered.

Also on the move has been Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) TB, which has been picked up by Canadian cacher new8812, who has dipped LaP(Maan) into this cache, adding 24.03 miles to it's total distance covered, before going on to dip the Love-spreading trackable into 1, 2, 3, 4 further caches. No milage was added to Love and Peace's official total due to the rule stating that only the first cache visited by each cacher holding the TB counts. New8812 have retained possession.

Finally, mat smith's Hazards of Geocaching 2 (The Sheep) Travel Bug has been retrieved from the Dutch multicache that it was grazing in by occassional cacher Drifter_NL.
