I know I'm a new guy, but I'd like to put one out there.
Mrs. JeepCacherz is my nominee. We are both relatively new to caching, so we created a single login and she doesn't ever get onto the forums. I admire her deeply and would love to see her win a coin without knowing about it. A little background as appropriate for the cointest:
Mrs. JC is a former Army Nurse who now works on the Med/Surg unit of a local Hospital. As I type this, she is not only maintaining her position at the hospital, she is also in the process of transferring to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a sister hospital so that she can work with infants. She is an amazing, intelligent, compassionate, strong and giving individual. We have no children, but she makes the time to do little special things for her nephews and nieces (godchildren). Above all that she does in caring for others, she still finds the time to be an amazing wife and friend to me. She puts up with all of my troublemaking and takes better care of me than I could ever do for her. As if all that isn't enough, she continues to be a part-time student too.
Recently I learned of geocaching. When I shared the information with her, she lit up with a smile from ear to ear and seemed to burst with enthusiasm. Everytime we go out on a hunt, she seems to get more and more enjoyment from it.
We go camping in the Kisatchie National forest as often as we can. She couldn't wait to go geocaching during this this past trip. In one of the caches, she found a geocoin. She was so intrigued by the idea that she gave up her favorite University of Louisiana shirt koozie as a trade so she could participate in moving the coin along. Within a couple of days after we returned home, she purchased several coins of her own to send out. One came in Tuesday night. She walked in from work at around 8:00pm, worn out and ready for dinner/bed. When she saw the coin, she lit up again. LOL, we went out at 11:00pm and logged the cords for a location where she intends to hide a 'geocoin travel depot".
I know there are people well deserving of the coin on this board for their contributions to geocaching. I certainly don't mean to minimize their contributions with my nomination. I just admire Mrs. JeepCacherz and can't pass the opportunity to toss her name in the hat.
Thanks.
