    Secret Santa 2009

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Got back home within the hour from our vacation... first place I went was to check the mail hoping to find a package from my secret Santa... nothing was in there... :)

     

    Can the organizer please verify if the package was sent out or at least when it was? I sent my package out and was hoping to have one in return... :huh:

     

    Your mission was sent 2009/11/30. I thought it would reach you in time as a month is normally enough time to cross the Atlantic ocean. I hope it has been only delayed in customs and is not lost.

     

    Thanks for the update ;)

    Your person responded on Friday that it had been mailed (11/30 i think). You should have received it by now ;) Hopefully it was not lost in the mail.

     

    Here's hoping... kinda disappointing not seeing it in the mailbox when I got back today. I was really looking forward to it

    As of the 19th of December I didn't receive my mission in the mail... however, I'm on vacation out of the province and won't be able to check the mail until the 28th of this month... so I'll let you guys know if it's good after that

    Holiday Adoption Mission

    I'd like to adopt a coin travelling in Austrailia as well.... that'd be awesome to show the kids where it is

     

    I went ahead activated the coin, then sent the adoption request before wondering if this would confuse the issue by having me do two at a time.. and I'm thinking it will , sorry! :) But we are smart we should be able to work it out, right? :P So there should be two offers for the next two posters.

     

    Activated coin Indiana II Geocoin

     

    Adoption completed... not confused... LoL

     

    Offering a Look Twice Geocoin

    Cointest #1....

     

    I'd shave my head.... I mean right down to the skin for a coin...

     

    Not really fair considering I don't have much to go until I reach skin (being military and all)...

     

     

    so I'll shave my head and let's see...... hmmmmm.... let's make and eat a sandwich that would be pretty nasty... How about Peanut Butter, Cheeze-Whiz and Strawberry Jam

    This was an easy one to decide... here's my story:

     

    I've more than proven from time to time that when it rains it POURS. This day was no exception. It was shortly after New Years and the weather in the area was beautiful (+17c) so myself and 3 fellow cachers decided to embark on a caching journey... one that wouldn't be forgotten anytime soon.

     

    Everything started out ok, getting a few park-and-grabs here, doing a multi there... no biggie really. It was on a cache that we had trouble locating that my battle with physics started Shiretown Map Cache (GCY4J9). I was the eagle-eyed one for this find and as I was reaching for this cache (I was on a hill, BTW) I felt the Earth's pull in all its fury. It felt like I was moving in slow motion without being able to do a single thing about it...CRASH!!! there I go as an elderly couple walking by just looked, smirked and continued on. To quote, "I'm ok guys, the thorn bush broke my fall."

     

    More caches found without incident, then we come up to Slickenside (GCVAZQ) at a 4.5 terrain. It's up the rock slide we go to a wonderful view of the valley below, which we appreciated AFTER we caught our breath. Found the cache with much effort, but then it was going back down the hill that physics and the gravitational pull showed its face again. Imagine if you will, a baseball slide... only on sharp shale like rock and not on nice level ground but a steep hill where you can gather speed as you decend. Didn't think anything of it really, just thought that I got down the hill alot faster than climbing it. Got back in the car and it was then I realized, hmm, I don't remember that red stain on my jeans before I did this cache. Sure enough I was cut... not bad enough to call it quits. I called the wife and she asked me how things were going. I simply replied, "Things are going great...uh... do we have any peroxide in the house?" With that, the rest of the people in the car were all but wetting themselves with laughter.

     

    All in all, I proved gravity still works, even outside of your home... would I do it again, if there's a cache in it for me... yeah!!!

    Post #130 was actually me. So, I'm not sure who the winner here is, but I loved all the goofy Santas! Thanks for the cointest! And a belated Happy Birthday to Rob!

     

    I have to agree with Surteb here... I didn't enter the racecar Santa... Surteb rightfully deserves the 2nd place... Congrats and Merry Christmas to all of the winners
