I renewed my annual premium membership in January. Things were working fine until earlier this week. I sent a request to GS help on Tuesday to restore my account. No response yet. I'm wondering how long it will take for them to make the fix.

Somewhat sad to see TotG go away.
I agree. It was a new and different experience.
Definitely not for everyone, and not something that should have been copied ad nauseum in other locations, but certainly a whole lot of fun for me. Thanks for giving it a try!

What kind of car were you driving that you had to fill up twice going such a short distance?
Except for the fillups, the vehicle was probably running the whole time.

We found 566 geocaches in one day.
Amazing!
I'd love to see your tracklog! 
-
110 pages done. I need an excuse to travel between San Diego and Yuma. lol!

GC78, Firestone, is the oldest cache in the Bay Area. Great views of the ocean along a ~0.5 mile hike.
GC30CB, Sounds of the Bay, is a fun walk along a jetty near Chrissy Field. Great views of the Bay, bridges, and the city.

Elev. 6555 is mighty nice.

In this case I don't think there was anything wrong with the cache.
I don't know how long this particular cache was active before it was 'retracted', but another possibility is that something offensive was posted in a log entry and the cache owner refused to delete it. If the person who was offended doesn't get satisfaction from the owner, then he could pursue it with Groundspeak. If Groundspeak wasn't able to mediate a resolution to the dispute, then retraction of the cache could be the result.
Lots of what ifs...

Just returned from the Wherigo event here in San Jose.
Me, too. Jeremy also said that they were going to increase the amount of geocaches you could load from 1000 to 2000.

Is "death valley" and "mt. whitney" going to be in a darker color text?
I agree...there needs to be something that sets that text off from the background more. A more contrasting color if you go with 2D, but I'm not sure what would be best in the 3D situation.
With a 3D design, let me reiterate my suggestion to have Mt Whitney raised above coin surface and Death Valley lowered below.

Back on track at coinsandpins.com. here is an updated image....still doing some fine tuning.
I like how things are developing.

What's that white mark on the state image down in Imperial county?
Is that a Gx marking Sacramento? It's hard to make out.
Are those supposed to be Poppy leaves? They look more like Oak leaves.
I don't really think you can claim from highest peaks:
Mt. Whitney Calif. 14,494Mt. Elbert Colo. 14,433Mt. Massive Colo. 14,421Mt. Harvard Colo. 14,420Mt. Rainier Wash. 14,410Mt. Williamson Calif. 14,370There are 4 between Whitney and Williamson
[/really_nitpicky]...my 2 cents.
-
I'm also not sure why "peaks" and "valleys" are plural. I think the singular case is simpler and makes a stronger statement.
Me either...and I think I said it first.
I agree singular is better. -
I am the owner of my trackables. I paid for the item and letting others be able to log that that have seen my item when they come across it. At no time are my trackables are abandoned or given away to others. At any point I can list on the trackables web page that I would like it returned and will pay for the S/H to the next person who finds it.
It'd be interesting see what happened if Moun10bike asked for his coins back.
...or changed their goal so that it wasn't permissible to hold them. It was pretty fun to chase after yellow and white jeeps, think about the stampede a bunch of circulating Moun10bike coins would cause! -
While I agree that selling the coins violates Geocaching community standards, I'd appreciate a legal explanation of 'reasonable expectation of return' (if any such concept exists!). Most travel bugs and coins don't have a goal to eventually return to their owners, so I'm not sure if they are really owned or abandoned in a legal sense.
-
Sorry bout the delay. still waiting on coinsandpins.com to get the updated design to me. was hoping to have these minted and on the way to all before june. we'll see what happens
Anything new on this project?
-
I have GBA spring coins for trade. Check my list and make an offer. Thanks!
-
Yep. Mine came certified mail on Saturday, which requires a signature.
I got the notice on Saturday too. Only it's registered mail.
-
Is there a limit on the number of 2006 coins that will be minted?
-
hope to have a new pic to post soon.
Looking forward to it!
It's been fun to see this coin take shape, and I really appreciate the collaborative process. -
Nothing in CA and no response from Ross.... the frustration level is rising again.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the GBA shipment arrived with a damaged box and half the coins missing?
I agree singular is better.
