Yeti crossing the Chihuahuan Desert. Snakes, lizards, coyotes and illegals are everywhere and even the prickly pear cactus offers little protection. Run little yeti run!
The mighty Rio Grande cannot stop our yeti. I hope he has papers should he cross paths with La Migra.
Contre: please put the Rio Grande pic on the website.

Bumble’s World Travels and Extraordinary Adventures: Take 2
September came and the heat wave broke,
You could cross the desert without a stroke;
The Rio Grande might be a wall,
But lack of rain had made it small;
He swam the river without his papers,
The first of many illegal capers;
Then one morning the cats were cryin’
Open the door, see what we be findin’
Barefoot, tired and without his hat,
Sunburned and dazed, on my porch he sat;
Pilfered chile filled his pack,
Recently roasted and in a burlap sack;
Less than a week our Yeti stayed,
His world round trip too long delayed;
High Fives and hugs and even kisses
From me and the Birdjaguar missus;
With a funny waddle and a cheery wave
He promised that he would behave;
So off he went to the northern wild,
Bumble our, Abominable child.

staring at the clock
I'm still in.
Nice pics! And, of course, the rhymed tale, too.
I'm still in.
Bumble was officially sent off this morning. The PO could not give me an ETA.
It looks like I cannot add pictures. Warpus! Help!

Sommerswerd asked me to change this
Hey contre, send me the picture in a private message and I will put it up.
btw I also just fixed the yeti positioning system on the website. It was an easy fix, I should have done it earlier

It is the one of bumble crossing the Rio Grande that I posted above.
Warpus, can you change the map so that the green line goes from you to me to Zelig?
I can do that. PMing you the pic, Warpus.

Great to see the Yeti making progress! I'm partial to the prickly pear and predatory cat pictures. I'm still in. My address may vary depending on when it gets to me, so whoever is before me (currently madviking, or VRWCAgent if he rejoins - although given where I am now, it'd probably be cheaper to send it madviking -> me -> VRWCAgent than madviking -> VRWCAgent -> me anyway) should PM me first.
I do support the two week rule, or at least two weeks with regular communication if more time is needed. If we can all stick to two weeks, the yeti will make it around the world in a year, which would be really good. I'm sure with 27-ish people we won't all be able to stick to two weeks, but if we're able to mostly keep it going, let each other know when there are delays, and stick to new goals when at all possible, that should keep us within the original 800-day goal.
I will need a refresher on who is next when it gets around to me. Originally it was CivCube, but I'm not sure if he's in it any more. But that can wait until it gets a few more places down the list.

i'm all the way out in VA, vr is in MO... i dunno where you live but i'm thinking it'll be quickest and easiest for it to go to vr first.
V quit this so it's a moot point. Quintillus, where's your new location? I can alter the order if it's vastly different than WI
Current:
Zelig (Calgary, Alberta)
Lucy (Rhode Island)
Cutlass (Connecticut)
peter grimes (New York)
madviking (Virginia)
Quintillus (????)
