Race to Middle-earth
Thanks to everyone who came out to my farewell event last week, the Race to Middle-earth – There and Back Again (GC434B3). I am packing up my belongings and will be moving to Wellington, New Zealand in mid-February.
As part of the event, I collected geocoins and trackables from a number of cachers that I am bringing with me to New Zealand. Once I get to Wellington, I am going to host an event there to meet local cachers and to distribute the trackables. The winner of the Race to Middle-earth is the person who has their trackable back in their own hands the fastest. Simultaneously, I am going to have TheNinjaJedi release one of my coins here in Moncton in order to see which direction the coins can travel the fastest.

Heath, I don’t own that TB, I just dropped it into the event, so it won’t be coming back to me. The owners might be confused….lol
Maybe they’ll just think you were drinking, since that trackable is the top of a bottle of booze.
I will email them and explain.
Sorry we couldn’t make it to this event, we had hoped to. Heath, we hope you have a safe journey and a wonderful few years down under. Best Wishes!
The coins are about to start their race home! http://coord.info/GC47FT4
