I'd like to thank everyone for the guidance and support with the project. We officially launch our GeoTour on May 25th! We'd love to see you there if we can! https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC87XRM_fayette-county-geotour-launch

Update on this project: We are definitely doing a GeoTour! We are now figuring out who is going to fund it. We are looking at sponsorships as well as our tourism board funding it since it will be more long lasting than just our Bicentennial celebration. When I went through the cost and the pull a GeoTour has with the committee, they asked if we could do more than 32 caches! I think this is definitely going to be a fairly large event.

Absolutely! We are seriously considering a geotour. I spent the day at the library yesterday finding old photographs of the historical sites we are going to feature. We will definitely keep you posted!

Thank you! We are in Indiana.

That is fantastic! Exactly what we are wanting to do. I would definitely like to have Geocoins with our logo on them. The passports seem neat too.

Money definitely isn't an issue. The entire celebration, including the caches are all funded. I am not familiar with a Geotour though. Is that something that will stay around after the event? We would like this to be a lasting project for people to get to know the forgotten history of our county for years to come. Lastly, how would we find out who our reviewer is? I'd like to explain the project and get their input as well.

Hello all! I started geocaching in 2007 and was fairly active throughout college, but took a step back for quite a while. I sit on our county's bicentennial committee and they want to have a tour of local historical sites throughout the county. Geocaching immediately came to mind. I have letters and permission from property owners, coordinates, and the history of 32 sites. I know this is a large chunk to bite off, but I have a ton of help behind me including the support of the entire county. What I'm needing is a little guidance. I'm going to visit the sites and work with the property owners to decide the exact placement and type of cache needed. The maintenance of these caches is obviously a concern of mine, however, they are all placed within a 30 minute drive of my home. The only caches that look like they are going to be close in location of previous caches are just two that are in town. I think I can sneak them in alright. How would you go about adding this many caches at once? I don't particularly want to overload anyone, including myself, but I think we have planned well enough that this project with this quantity is completely feasible. Thanks in advance for the advice!

I'm fairly new, ok, really new to Geocaching, but I have been looking at the different types of geocoins available, and it seems that if you want a custom coin, you can only buy them in bulk. Besides eBay, where would I go to just buy one coin?
