Two racers found!

First Lance Armstrong was found by Keegan the Airedale Terrier on 9/20 at the Weatherwatch Park Letterbox. Danny, aka Keegan, let me know to which box he moved Lance, but I'll keep my mouth shut for now :)

Then, Turbo Slug was found by The Cootie Family on 9/25 and moved to central Washington.

Looks like the race has officially started!

And they're off!

Amanda from Seattle received the HHs and brought them with her back to Seattle, where she so kindly planted all NINE. Here's what she had to say about planting them:

"First out of the gate was LANCE ARMSTRONG! at 8:32am
PST

Second was BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS at 9:38am PST

Third in the lineup TURBO SLUG at 10:05am PST

Fourth was CAPTAIN TERROR 10:29am PST

Fifth and following closely was SPEED RACER 10:32am PST

Sixth was DALE EARNHARDT 11:24am PST

Seventh, BON JOVI 11:57am PST

Eighth and breathing hard was ON THE RUN FROM MASSACHUSETTS 12:36pm
PST

and bringing up the rear in

Ninth place, WWI FLYING ACE at 1:11pm PST"

Thanks again, Amanda! Hopefully we'll hear about these racers soon!

The Handoff

Lightnin' Bug and part of Hikers & Hounds will make the handoff to Amanda from Seattle this Saturday! Lightnin' Bug has received most of the entrants and is still waiting for the last few (including Lance Armstrong) to arrive at his house.

Once the HHs are planted in Seattle, we'll be able to visually see their progress on the map!
