I would definitely second that Cologne in Europe could be a Geocoinfest hosting City/Town.
And I would definitely co-host that event. =)
So if longtomsilver is in - and I know him for beeing in - we and some other guys I know for beeing crazy enough in doing so - could rock the show.
I am asure that a minimum of 3 geocoin producers would come to a GEOCOINFEST in germany [like: http://www.geocoinshop.de/ , http://www.cachezone.de , http://www.mygeocoin.de].
And I think we could convice some dutch [ http://www.k2coins.nl , http://www.geocachingshop.nl ], british [ http://www.ukgeocachers.co.uk ], swedish [ http://www.polardesign.se ] and the other german coinproducers [ http://www.geocachingshop.de , http://www.wbcoins.de , http://www.frabert.de ] as well.
Cologne has an airport, many hotels, a nice Cathedral [height: 142 meters] and a Moun10Bike virtual cache as well! =) [ http://coord.info/GC5B4A ]
Apart from many, many caches to visit.
So let's start the discussion...
Kind regards,
