We delivered the prize of our game.
In the afternoon of Wednesday November 3 was delivered in the Fun Race the clock Store had offered to the winners.
As to how it was that our winners chose to participate with us and the adventures and events surrounding his participation, We decided to let people be themselves tell us in great detail:
"As always innovating ideas, and the growth of knowledge Land Cruiser enthusiasts the world as we are many, TUCAN TRAVEL BLOG us refers to the saying of "every day we learn something new" this time we are referring to is the GEOSTASHING or GEOCACHING. To sum it is this new concept (as it was for me) is out to play with the car and the GPS together with great friends making use of our navigation tools and knowledge of off-road areas in order to find a treasure, in conclusion to what we like with the only difference that the award is not a camping site ( http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocaching ).
The October 4, I get a personal email sent by employees of TUCAN TRAVEL BLOG, referring to the anniversary of the blog which would be held with a game and prize .... Any explanation of how to carry out was on this link immediately answered http://tucanviajero.blogspot.com/2010/10/jugando-con-nuestros-land-cruiser.html and started playing and find out where I could get these tracks with the only detail not interpret well the explanation of what is referred to "all tracks are on the blog. I meant by "blog" the issue where it was explained what would be the anniversary celebration, this was explained that the tracks could be in photos or on the issues, seeing that they were not the subject I decided to look for on the photos and any tracks he saw in the article was the series to which they belonged cars that came in them, the "X" of the masked person could be a Roman numeral (by the way Meteor, the masked man is your brother, just so knew), the numbers marked clockwise (as they saw it as a safe track, because as the commercials advertising techniques always watch checking out at 10:10 and there was no way) or was more stripped than the skull of Carlos Almenar Otero. I spent days looking at the track trying to buy time as it approached me I would travel out of the game for several days.
trip just arrived which was the day October 25 it in an update of the day 10/21/1910 said that they had not yet picked up the worth of the prize, which was a motivation to continue in the pursuit of tracks.
On October 27 I will call Francisco Feo without thinking about the game, only to find out which part of the globe was to throw us the stories, of what he Once I say "your truck is working" (this type of comment is due to an inside joke that leads to temporary accommodations provided), to which I reply "yes", once told me "we find the clock of TUCAN TRAVEL ".... How to say" NO "to this, all perfectly coordinated a trip accompanied by tremendous people, sharing with family, on board our Land Cruiser as the Indiana Jones movie" Raiders of the Lost Ark ".

From day Francis and myself we contacted spoke up to 4 times a day discussing what would be the trip and would prepare all, if we stay serious camping trip or travel etc lap.
Francisco calls me on Friday saying that October 29 is concerned that as the weather satellite program that runs regularly because of his profession, he advises that a storm is coming that puts Margarita Island ORANGE alertness. This could make the date decline was mainly proposed and run the search for a weekday. The problem was to run far and people that made this issue starting with children was most important to integrate the group of issue, could not join school activities, to which Francis I mention that this idea did not convince me, I said that if the storm had no name woman then did not have to worry about and effect is called "Thomas" and that there was no fear, but then tells me I look for in Google .... Something and saw the satellite photos of Guarico out wells on the way to go, what is the problem because we put the raincoat in the car, but we go we go, rain or shine we will find that Thomas clock .... . Well, that day I went in search of a jack to change tires on my TLC and then pick have broken all the asparagus tip rear driveshaft FF .... This was a major impediment for me to make the trip, and I do not believe that the Corolla was equipped for the job. So I chose to use a wildcard and I called a friend, Carlos Espinal what once told me to jump in the house, picked up my spindle and got put couplers double to film up there. Twist of fate that Carlos had all the parts back in the house, asparagus new bag, we removed the cones is the FF of the FJ40, nuts look them up in a box, stuffing the just bought for FF We are arming to adapt, so we are ready not to worry about let's go !!!!!!.

On Saturday 30 October and willing to start having done some shopping for the road the day before, thinking they have lunch in the rest of meat on a stick to which much reference to Francisco, we got ready to walk the Central Regional Highway what we get as in the KM 15 a rear tail trance Barbie here the news ( http://www.eluniversal.com/2010/10/30/pol_ava_reabren-el-paso-por_30A4672891.shtml ). This brings us to arrive late at the rendezvous point and hence the output to our destination site. We were called by Phone Communicating as radio propaganda "and that you do in the queue" "NOTHING !!!!". Everything was so that what were 3 channels highway to funnel a channel into the opposite lane .
This was something endless queue of people was within a few miles from where TOYOTA dealer in Guarico. It was not what concerned the queue and just see the color of the awning we realize that it is referring to poor service as for the formation of a queue of that magnitude is not because they might be giving away something, but they left accumulate this amount of people serving time for not a promise unfulfilled.
We had to walk quite a distance because of the dust layer that was formed to which we turned the spotlight back, I just for a case because of the road trip we took 2 cars, so if they also come ... this layer at a given moment and more coming separate me from seeing a landform which caused a small jump in the van nothing like those of the "Dukes of Hazzard" but this caused a short in my TLC to prevent further travel on my TLC.
Francisco aided my TLC towed to a site off the road, where Francisco (Pancho) his son was released from the car of his Dad to help me in knowledge of rescue techniques 4x4, in this case to the strap and shackle to pull me the site.
The trail that we had, hoping that might be, let the GPS recalculate until we reached the road site to a "Y" we figured it was to the left where he showed himself not too far but the position there of cars in the photo indicated that it might be ... The GPS showed us the "Y" but that led us down there, we saw that here we would have to start looking and clear to see the photo to the corridor masked in a dry forest species, this was what he seemed just as beginning to get off the vehicle still inside it we see the cherry in a tree, emotion But I thought if a relative of the snake would not be out there, the kids were busting the door and I remember Francis saying "put on your shoes , put on your shoes, "Pancho and was ready to download and Francisco says" wait for your brother while I was preparing the camera and get out there thought to make noise to scare away any animal that is found in the vicinity as eg .: a relative of the snake, or at least not hungry.
For we have come to the van which was alive and well despite the electrical problem, again Pancho takes my hand strap and shackle and is willing to put in another car to get around my TLC to return and walk out to find a crane or check if the fault is not serious.
