Geocaching with Pinewood Derby Cars

Post by Nitro Dan »

Just saw this Centennial Activity called "Race to 2010", using Pinewood Derby Cars and Geocaching. Here's the link if anyone wants to read it:

Just thought some on this board might be interested in it.

Yep. The helpers at my workshop made one from NorthernStar Council. I'll see if I can get a photo of it.

Now there's a combination of hobbies I wouldn't have expected. I didn't think about the possibility of turning a derby car into a travel bug. Although I don't think derby cars make very good travel bugs. For one thing, they're rather large as travel bugs go. For another thing, I'd expect nice items like derby cars to go missing, taken by people who don't understand what they're supposed to do with a travel bug, or who don't care that they're supposed to move it along.
