OK, tomorrow’s the day!
The HooHaa Geo-Challenge begins! A one-year race for the championship! Most miles win.
Note: The bug does not have to be released tomorrow (I actually might be waiting until this weekend because it’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow around here), but the rules are that tomorrow is the first day it can be released (though I will probably finally set my bug up tomorrow!)
Anyway, there’s a small group of us participating in the challenge, so let’s meet the ones who sent me info for the Tale of the Tape!
