  1. I think you should let this rest! Eartha has spoken and according to the guidelines, whatever an owner of a geocoin wants to do with their coin is completely up to them! End of story!
  2. A none acetone nail polish remover does the job, my biggest pet peeve is when they cut the flips in half! I recently received 3 coins from an Ebay seller and they cut all of the flips in half?!?!?
  3. Is the "Geocoin buddy" just dog tag? Like the one pictured here? If so..then it's just a tag that accompanies a Geocoin, if there was no coin attached, you could use it for one of your own, or pass it on.
  4. well another 8 hours has passed since my last guess so I will choose 134 this time
  5. Back for another shot! My 3rd guess is 86 Oops! Never mind 86 is taken..it didn't appear to be highlighted yet, on the "tracker" so I guess I will go with 115 for my 3rd guess
  6. It's been 8 hours since my last guess so my next guess is 94
  7. A: My turn to list the cast of characters illustrated on this beautiful geocoin: 1) Caribou (or Reindeer) 2) Artic Tern 3) Sockeye Salmon 4) Green Sea Turtle 5) Monarch Butterfly 6) HumpBack Whale 7) Canada Goose for "B" I'd like to showcase the curious little critters..."Lemmings" Lemmings are small rodents, usually found in or near the Arctic, in tundra biomes. They are subniveal animals, and together with voles and muskrats, they make up the subfamily Arvicolinae (also known as Microtinae), which forms part of the largest mammal radiation by far, the superfamily Muroidea, which also includes rats, mice, hamsters, and gerbils. The behavior of lemmings is much the same as that of many other rodents which have periodic population booms and then disperse in all directions, seeking the food and shelter that their natural habitat cannot provide. The Norway lemming and Brown lemming are two of the few vertebrates who reproduce so quickly that their population fluctuations are chaotic, rather than following linear growth to a carrying capacity or regular oscillations. It is unknown why lemming populations fluctuate with such variance roughly every four years, before plummeting to near extinction While for many years it was believed that the population of lemming predators changed with the population cycle, there is now some evidence to suggest that the predator's population may be more closely involved in changing the lemming population. Lemmings became the subject of a popular misconception that they commit mass suicide when they migrate. Actually, it is not a mass suicide but the result of their migratory behavior. Driven by strong biological urges, some species of lemmings may migrate in large groups when population density becomes too great. Lemmings can swim and may choose to cross a body of water in search of a new habitat. In such cases, many may drown if the body of water is so wide as to stretch their physical capability to the limit. This fact combined with the unexplained fluctuations in the population of Norwegian lemmings gave rise to the misconception. Because of their association with this odd behavior, lemming suicide is a frequently used metaphor in reference to people who go along unquestioningly with popular opinion, with potentially dangerous or fatal consequences. The reason for the cyclic change in population is still not completely understood. Anyway, the main cause for their mass migration is high density with decreasing/used up food supply. The cycle length lies between 3 and 5 years with an average of 3.8 years. They change their location twice a year. In spring they start to migrate when the snow is melting. Autumn migration is driven by population density with high density leading to early movement. The Lemmings prefer nighttime for their migration. In low density years the distance between their summer and winter biotopes lies within a magnitude of 10 - 100 m. They are staying in alpine regions then moving down in spring and up in autumn. In high density years their migration may take them to far away places and they use to move downwards in autumn too. Their speed on land has been measured to be from about 3.6 km/h (autumn) to about 5 km/h (spring) moving 15 km per day. Water speed has been measured to be about 1 km/h crossing a 200 m wide lake. Each lemming chooses its own direction and normally follows it alone and as close as possible. Groups of lemmings walk on the same path only when reaching hindrances. Their orientation seems to be mainly visual.
  8. Are any of your "Creatures of Night Caching" Geocoins available for sale at this time? If so what are you asking for them?
  9. Oh WOW! Those look sooo awesome! I can't wait to see them in person!
  10. I would wait a couple weeks and then send them another email, if it were me. Like Bear&Ragged says..they are probably on vacation or something, and will do their logging when they return
  11. Ooh Goody! Can't wait to see them!
  12. Love the Coin! What a wonderful tale you weave! How can I meet the dragon and receive one of these beautiful tokens?
  13. the 3-tone version sounds intriguing! ! Just let us know when to get our pre-orders in! I definitely do not want to miss out!
  14. Cool! I loved the area 51 UFO coins and can't wait for this one! I'm definitaly down for a set!
  15. Okay..for my 2nd guess: GCC June 2010 Cache Hard or Die in Ant. Gold
  16. I know there are several Chamber of Commerces in Oregon who do a yearly geocaching challenge i.e.: Canby, Mollala, Lincoln City, Mt. Hood (which usually encompasses Estacada & Oregon City) are a few that come to mind. But there are many more! They usually take place in the late summer to fall, to try and bring in tourism, during the latter months. Anyway, if you choose to make a trip to Oregon, don't forget to visit the Original Stash Tribute plaque GCGV0P , as Oregon was the home of the Original Geocache May 3, 2000. You must complete a certain no. of caches in the challenge in order to receive the Free coin. You have to go to the areas Chamber of Commerce with your online form filled out in order to receive the coin. They do run out very quickly.
  17. I think the Ant Silver with black ring or vica-versa would look really nice together. In any case I am anxious to see the samples!
  18. Ooh Ooh...I want a guess! I'm going to say....Pirate Coin Dubloom Satin Gold Edition Okay...what'd I win?
  19. I've been watching the auction to see just what this little beauty fetches!
  20. The Geocaching Reviewers are all Volunteer and they state in the information guide, when filling out the online form, to allow 72 hours (3 days) from the time you submit the cache for review. Sometimes it can take less, but if this is his 1st cache placement, he should expect the review to take 3 days.
  21. I got my UFO Area 51 Series Geocoin Order today...and all I can say is WOW! Outstanding! I love them!
  22. I loved this log on a recent cache I was checking! It's very imaginative! GC21PAF Dragon Shack Log by Untied_Shoelaces on Jan. 22 "Found the redirector fairly quickly and logged my find and took note of the final coords! The log was a little damp, but it had not been placed back into the protective baggie, so after signing the log, I made sure to place it in the ziploc baggie and closed it up tight! Onto the final! I arrived to the GZ and looked around a bit, and didn't see anything that could be hiding a cache? So I re-read the description and realized my error! I then spotted the steely eye of the Dragon and realized I was being watched! I knew the only way I would be able to snatch the cache from the jaws of the Dragon, was to create a diversion. I directed my dog Taffy to approach the Dragon to distract his gaze so that I could quickly snatch the cache from his jaws. Ha Ha It worked!! Once I had the cache in my grasp the Dragon was angry and growled his dismay! I told him "be patient" I would return it to him once I was finished logging my find and inspecting the contents of little prehistoric dragons that it contained! Once I had finished I returned the cache to the Dragon, which he promptly hid away in his jaw. Mission Accomplished, On to the next cache! TFTH! TNLNSL"
