Sorry for the cross-post...

I know it is cold and unboxable in many areas right now, but a few of
the racers have made it to the East coast, and I thought it warranted
an update!

Many of you know that Pink Pig won the race a few months back and the
Gold Trophy PLB prize has made the rounds to those that carried her
to victory. But there is still the Silver Cup PLB for second place
and the Bronze Medal PLB for third to be awarded! As well as a few
other prizes that you can read all about on the race blog...

On to the updates:

Tan Dog was last known to be chewing sticks at the Coccinellidae
letterbox in Wofford Heights, CA...

Green Hornet was last known to be buzzing in the Rancho San Antonio
Series: Quirky Quail letterbox in Cupertino, CA...

Purple Turtle was last known to be hibernating at the Rock Camp
letterbox in Lake Arrowhead, CA...

Black Bat was just dropped off today at the Leap Frog letterbox in
Mountville, PA...

Blue Cat is in the arms of a letterboxer somewhere in Georgia and
should be dropped off soon...

Grey Owl is in the arms of a letterboxer somewhere in Rhode Island
and should be dropped off soon...

Orange Octopus and Yellow Kangaroo were picked up by letterboxers but
have not sent word in a long time - anyone have any info to share?

Red Bull - poor Red Bull - is confirmed to be gone from his starting
box, but has never been heard from... Anyone else suspect foul play?

And where in the world is Rosie Ruiz??? Haven't heard of her
whereabouts in quite some time...

Well, that's all folks! To keep updated on the racers' progress and
