I’m a bit late with my normal plans for updating the standings, but late is better than never. Both the contestants page and the standings page have been updated. Oh, and we’ve had a bit of an upset in the rankings too.

I know. I know. It’s been almost a month since the last points update. There’s no reason to deny it…every time I’d remember this I’d be out of house. By the time I got home, I’d have forgotten already. I’ll make a promise. The points update will be next week. Why next week? Well, I’m getting ready to leave town until next Monday or Tuesday and I’m going to be pretty busy so I won’t have time to do while I’m on my trip. At least the update will be a huge update as everyone has had a good chance to travel. Maybe we’ll even see an upset in the rankings.

I have been making a few contacts for possible donations so I’m hoping that we might also see some more updates to the prize pool in the coming months.

Yesterday, I found a package in my mail.  Upon close inspection (aka…feeling the envelope), I quickly realized it was a geocoin.  My first thought was “Who did I order a coin from?”.  Looking carefully at the package, I noticed that the package came from outside the United States so that question was answered.  If it was outside of the United States, it must be related to the race.

It took until May for it to happen but now we have all 10 of our top ten contests in triple digits. Not much of an upset for the top six, but spots seven through ten have been hotly contested.

We have two new prizes to add to the prize pool, courtesy of rjhollan.  I was recently put in touch with rjhollan to purchase some nano’s for myself.  He had purchased a collection a while back and was selling them cheaper than ordering them online.  This last Friday, I finally purchased some.

Now the prize pool includes a package of nano’s and replacement logs in a nice little reusable baggie.  Our prize pool grows.

Interested in contributing?  We are always looking for some donations to the prize pool.  Swag, unactivated geocoins or TB’s, and cache containers are nice.  Want to donate but not sure about what to donate?  Donate some money and that will be used for the purchase of new prizes.  Are you part of a geocaching organization or business?  Contact me about donating and you can be an official sponsor of the race.
