Ahhh... and just to keep things interesting. I'm thinking a GeoNap coin will probably wind up in this one when I do find it. Find it I must!
-
I have one more plan for this one... a secret at this point... but perhaps it will work.
If that fails, then I am with you Bazzle... a team ground assault... and if the cache is missing, I'm going to ask my man Fractal to whip something up to sink the whole dang island (judging from Broken Arrow... I think he could do it).
The hunt for the 'Holy Grail' continues...
-
For those of you that are still following... or even care. I have posted my latest attempt at Oregone's 2925 cache...
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=43463
Oregone, I REALLY hope it's still out there too! Because if it's not... I'm going to freakin' sink that island looking for it... well... when I finally get there that is...
-
Yip that's where I got them... http://www.honorcoins.com
The die fee is $200 (to make the custom die) and then beyond that is the cost of what coins and options you choose. You can run the cost up pretty quick if you want. Depends on what options you're interested in.

Woo hoo! The system is back up... at least for me!
-
Oregone: I'm packing for a trip to the East coast tonight, so I don't know if I'll get the 2925 log up before I go (probably not since I don't have crap packed yet) but trust me... it was a memorable experience once again. I have high speed internet in my hotel room so (very excited about that) so I'll try to do it while I'm there.
Slinger: Geodivorce... now that sounds expensive. [
] Probably more expensive than the coins! -
Grandpa I will send you some info later tonight. The company I went with did a great job for me.
Thanks for the compliments on the coins everyone!
For those of you that are interested, I placed my first coin in my 100th cache today. It is GeoNap coin #0016.
Placed it after yet another failed attempt at 2925 (more on that later). Coin is in Tranquility - NOT! #2 (with a view) waypoint GCF631.
Good luck! Lots of daylight left. ;-) Be sure to log it at http://www.GeoNap.com

For all of you that have inquired about my coins:
I'm pretty excited, my GeoNap coins arrived today. I think they turned out pretty darn nice. I'm going in search of cache number 100 tomorrow. I'm thinking that's a worthy enough event to drop of a GeoNap geocoin.
If you care, you can see a picture of a proof coin at my profile:

Keep an eye out for GeoNap coins!

Heh... heh... I like that. Beer is good.

Hey guys, quick question. Have the new Champoeg caches that we placed during Champoeg Redux been approved and listed on the site yet?
I was looking for them and couldn't find them. Thanks!
-
Quizzies... heh heh...
Here is a no BS story for you. My Dad told me a story about a professor when he was in college, said the guy loved to give surprise 'quizzies'. (Which were soem sort of surprise quiz).
He said one day the professor gave a surprise 'quizzie' to the class. It must have been a difficult one, because according to my Dad one of the females in the class commented (out loud), 'If these are your quizzies, I would hate to see your testies.'
According to my dad, the girl realized what she said, freaked out and ran out of class.
Heh heh... kind of funny. Laughed when I remembered that one after seeing Willapa's post.

Looks like I am going to be busy while I am there! Which is a good thing. I've looked at some of the caches listed (still looking at the others) and like what I see.
I look forward to see what other 'favorite' caches people list in the area. I want to try and hit the 'best' ones while I'm there.
Thanks again.
-
Thanks for all the great input so far! I really appreciate it. I am going to take a look at some of the caches suggested so far.
Please be sure to keep the suggestions coming, I would love to compile a list of some really great caches to hit.
I still need some info on the best local eating spots and watering holes.
I love going to those secret little restaurants that only the locals know about and the tourists pass by. I have come to realize that if you want good food somewhere, ask the local residents. Thanks again everyone, please keep the info coming. My trip is less than a week away, and I'm getting excited.

Hello there! I am going to be travelling to Virginia / Washington DC in the next week and was hoping that some friendly cachers in the area might be able to point me towards the 'best' caches in the area.
I am from the Portland, Oregon area (birthplace of geocaching). [
] I'll also be dropping off some good trades along the way too! I've got some of the highly coveted Oregon geocoins to drop off, as well as some of my own GeoNap coins (if they arrive in time, they should be here this week).I will be staying in the Fredericksburg, VA area for the most part, and the DC area for some touristy stuff. I am hoping that some 'locals' can steer me towards some quality caches.
I like all types of caches, urban is ok for some quick grabs, but I also don't mind a little hike through the woods (especially for a quality location).
I also LOVE to eat out, so if anyone can steer me in the direction of the 'best' food locations and local watering holes (beer etc.) in the area, I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks for any information you can pass along!

Here's a little side note for everyone. The week after this event I will be headed to the Virginia / Washington DC area. I plan to do some caching while I am there.
So if any of you have any travel bugs that are Eastward bound (or bound for the Virginia / Washington DC area) be sure to bring them to this event and I would be happy to help them on their way.

Check:
http://www.oregonstateparks.org/oprd_faq.php#alcohol
Q. What about alcohol in parks?
A. Possession or use of an alcoholic beverage(s) by any person under 21 years of age is prohibited.
Translation seems to be: If you're 21 or older, it's all good.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Uhhh... lets try again... my avatar does not seem to be working. This time?
-
This is to test if my new avatar is posting...
Be on the lookout, GeoNap coins are coming soon!
I don't know if I will have them by Champoeg, but if not they will be popping up in caches the following week. -
Aha! It looks like geocachers will rule Champoeg (well at least for the weekend).
GeoDiva and I are staying in A39 for Saturday night. It looks like we will be surrounded by fellow geocachers (very cool).
Can't wait to see the people we have already met, and to meet all of the others.
I'm thinking Champoeg State Park is in for a big geocaching surprise... [

I haven't been geocaching for that long, but my philosphy is ALWAYS to trade even or trade up. I frequently leave multiple quality items and take only one. I enjoy watching the caches where I do this, and watching others enjoy what I have left.
For me it is about the hunt, not about the find. Though I definitely enjoy finding a "cool" treasure every now and then.
I think the "experienced" geocachers are doing everyone a disservice with the TNLN philosophy.
If there isn't anything there you want fine... TN...
But at least leave a little something... It's the silly little treasures that draw people to this game (especially newcomers).
This is THE BEST game I have ever found... Let's not let those that trade down ruin it, lead by example.
If you TNLN, let it be because you forgot your backpack. I haven't always lived by this, but am going to try to from now on.

And for my next trick... I am going to 'play this rattlesnake'
Look how angry he gets when I poke him with a stick... wow what a cool rattle noise... I think he likes me.
