Hasse, Stogie chose "lost in the mail". If it gets lost in the mail he's the big winner.

-No, it would get lost now, we are losers, it would probably reduce our chances to be part of chains and seed exchanges. If you deliberately break the chain win in the short term but in the long run, you lose.

Asking to insure for a mil doesn't sound so crazy now, does it?

Turn on it instead, think more than I been looking seeds. Received many ' no ' because I live where I live so I have very hard to believe that something seriously breaks the chain. May experience a longer stop but not worse than that.

DGBAMA gave me the heads up that the package was at the post office for delivery to the shop this morning. I shot over there to get it and get it back on its Journey. It is off to Sweden now.I wanted to track it but they wanted like 40 bucks with tracking to ship it. 24 packs of seed now.Fingers Crossed,BT

Wow! Brown Thumb that's super fast congrats on a job well done, well that's the US tour over and done, now the fun begins, long distances, country boarders and exotic shores sounds nice to me.

Thanks BT for keeping us up-dated on the progress of the seeds ,it is now nearing it's halfway point, Thanks to everyone who have taken part and looked after it on it's journey in the States. It is now on it's way to warmer climate's, and hopefully it will make it all the way round. it will soon start to eat up the mileage now.

Thanks Mark a point well made, i would just like to personally thank all the members in the US for taking very good care of the package and all there continued support in this fun little venture.

Not Happing.
the force is with us.
BT

Your dead right BT the only thing that could stop it now is a death star but i don't think the empire has one of them anymore :D.

-No, it would get lost now, we are losers, it would probably reduce our chances to be part of chains and seed exchanges. If you deliberately break the chain win in the short term but in the long run, you lose.

I agree Hasse, i think every one is devoted to getting the package home now so it could only get lost in the post now, the only losers would be this community.

I would like to think that anyone that may have doubted the Whispers will have come to realize that what ever happens now this has been a positive thing and hopefully can be run on a more regular bases perhaps with a different theme are just the same who knows,
but i do think everyone should be very proud of taking part congrats folks.

It feels a bit like i have made a multiple bet now, watching the wining horses coming in one by one :D

Best, Bill

It's amazing that the strains have stayed at 20! I thought it may fall at least by one. That is great!
I added in 4 different strains 100 Seads plus each one.and did not take any out. Should be 24 strains in there.

Hi folks just a small update I have contacted Hasse today and unfortunately the package still has not turned up, lets hope its still on its way, it could be just because it was sent over the holiday period, I hope its still in transit as this is the longest leg of the journey to date, fingers crossed, all the best.

I hope so, Jamaica is pretty close to Sweden I think.
When I sent leaf to Ben in South Africa it took 6 days I think first class mail.
When they say Lost in mail. Is there a Bermuda Triangle in the postal system?

Good news there Hesse.
Give it a kiss good bye as it is on the long haul sectors now, it is your last chance to get your guesses in now, it will be doing some big mileage over the next few weeks, next stop Africa.

This is where the fun starts. Hopefully my country's postal service doesn't let us down.

I always thought South African yak drivers had a reputation for dependabilty. Are the yaks the problem? They must be as temperamental as Missouri mules.

I live in the North of SA, never seen a yak, don`t know what a yak is. My forefathers must have eaten them all, we have loads of donkeys. Not even they are safe from the locals!!!!
