Maybe Baja Fleg can pick it up.  I think he is going to be over the
beginning of Feb and there might be someone in NM that can get it further.

Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Courage (Thanks)


Send Courage towards Tucson - the I-10 connection gets it going in the right
direction and I've seen a number of travelbugs in the Tucson area which came
in from distant locations.  They said east - and southeast is still east.  I
agree that if you go strictly east, you get into the caches that have low
hit
rates over in the eastern part of the state (see West Fork I and a few
others
there for example, thought Thompson Creek has a good hit rate....) and it
may
take forever to get past that area....  I know there are a bunch of Tucson
Geocachers who would love to help Courage along it's way.
