    MISSION: - Gift, cache & travel.

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Congratulations! :(

     

    My coin, who just fullfilled it's mission and had arrived not only in my hometown, but in my own cache, was taken by someone not able to read the attached mission information and took it to Bavaria, than on a short trip to Oslo, Norway and now back to Bavaria.

    He offered to send it by post, but I felt like cheating and asked him to drop it into a cache near the motorway.

     

    I wonder, why he took it in the first place, there's a note at the coin! ;)

     

    This will be the fourth of my five mission coins.

    One never even started on it's journey, which I find really sad.

    What a shame! I hope the coin makes it a second time to you!

     

    If the cacher had left the coin in Germany (or at least in Europe) I would have let it travel. But a second time from the USA... :(

    Today I received my mission coin in the mail. <_<

     

    Why in the mail? After two years of travels around the world (mostly through the US, with a short visit in Iraq, back to the US, and finally to Germany) it arrived in Germany in summer 2009. After travelling through Germany it finally came closer to me and I was planning a caching trip to pick it up. Then another cacher picked it up, and after looking at his profile I found out that he was from the US. I immediately contacted him and asked him not to take the coin back to the US (the mission was still attached to the coin, too), but he didn't get my message in time, and the coin was back in the US. He offered to mail me the coin. I decided I didn't want to risk another 2 years of travels and agreed.

     

    40572.5 km travelled (not included the km it has travelled in the mail)

     

    This mission was very successful for me! The coin I sent out arrived, and the coin that was gifted to me arrived too!

     

    Thanks again to all who made this possible!!!

    Beautiful little turtles! Congratulations to all who got one! :lol:

     

    I would love to find one, too! I love turtles, and it would nicely fit into my small collection of EarthTurtles.

    Sorry for my late reply... the mission coin arrived a week ago, but I was really busy and forgot to post here. Sorry about that... :rolleyes:

     

    Together with the mission coin I got a purple glitter Nerd (great for my Nerd collection!) and a beautiful Crake Mimbres 3.0 :lol: Thanks so much, Dark Elf!!!

     

    I will dip the coin in my 2222. cache, which will take a week or two, and then pass the coin on to the next cacher. (Who is next?)

     

    @EdDakota: I got your message, and I haven't forgotten about my promise. Just give me a few days...!

    I just wanted to report that the coin (TB244TB) which is travelling to me showed up again! It was lost in Denmark after the cache was muggled, but now, after over a year, it showed up (I don't know how) and is travelling again, and I hope to have it in my hands one day!!! :D

    My mother in law suffered from MS. She died just a few weeks ago... I can tell you, life is not easy with MS, not for the patient, and not for the family!

     

    I haven't bought any coins for months, no job, no money. I will get one of these! Thanks!

    Lost and Found

    I have a coin which I sent to DresselDragons together with a geocoin mission. They released it near their home and the coin started its journey. After just a few caches it seemed that it was lost, but a few weeks later it showed up again. Just to get into the hands of a "cacher" who hadn't found a single cache :) He just retrieved my coin (without even logging the cache), wrote that his brother is a great geocacher and that the coin would travel again soon. But nothing happened :D After a loong time suddenly the coin showed up again. A cacher grabbed the coin from the "unknown cacher" and logged that he retrieved it from a strange cache. He did the FTF on it and it cointained nothing but my coin. No swag, no logbook, nothing :D The owner was the strange cacher who had my coin, and the cache was in Germany! So he kept my coin all the time, went to Germany (which was the mission of my coin), and hid this cache only to release my coin here! I guess he still hasn't found a single cache... but the coin made it home to me and now has a special place in my collection :D

     

    It is one of the few coins which completed its mission, and the one with the strangest storie of all my travelling coins.

    Great idea!

     

    I do a lot of caching with my bike or with public transportation. I don't care for FTFs so I don't need to hurry out with the car to drive miles and miles for just one cache.

    Last year I attended one of Dark Elfs CITO-Events. Cleaning up a big park together with other geocachers was a great experience!

    While caching I practice CITO on a regular basis. Of course I take all of my waste home (or to the next trash bin), and try to leave no traces if possible.

     

    I could do more, but on some days I must admit I am too lazy to take the trash bag with me... :rolleyes:
