  1. We really liked it when one of your SAM daughters talked to us. We then traded. We are looking at three wonderful coins right now. Thank you for the trade and the memories of Geocoinfest 2007. Thanks Parents.
  2. Ordered a few. A great way to commmemorate an awesome geocacher with proceeds going to a worthy cause. Glad we could help in this small way.
  3. We don't think it is trackable. Therefore, no code.
  4. Happy Valentine's Day to all. And Happy Birthday Arizona
  5. Most remote? How about Pitcairn Many more ships visit Antarctica than this island.
  6. We'll be on the road a week from today . Wanted to fly but didn't want to lug all of the heavy metal on board. Certainly would not have put the heavy stuff in checked baggage--no telling where it might have shown up. Looking at the map, I think we will leave I-8 around El Centro instead of going all the way to San Diego and up. We'll go north, from El Centro then up into the mountains on secondary roads and down into Temecula. Looks like a few caches are along the way. Can't wait, see you there.
  7. We like the design. Agree that the lettering could be omitted but we'd like the "2007" to remain.
  8. Yes, we also carry a magnetic compass--but haven't used it in years. We really could not get along without the electronic compass. We get erroneous direction pointing from time to time, but usually only when we are within a few yards of the sought target. We've found under those circumstances: slow down, stop. Let the "arrow" stabilize. If we do not spot the cache quickly, we change from the compass page to the coordinates page and place a marker at the spot where the cache page coordinates match our gps'r indicated coordinates. When those two numbers match, don't chase the needle, look for the cache. We then turn the unit off and conduct our search. That has worked for us. Yes you do need to calibrate the electronic compass occasionally--takes 15 seconds. I guess we're sissies--really appreciate WAAS--and remember the good ole days of SA's 25 meter allowed accuracy! We don't need no stinkin' magnetic compass, we always carry extra batteries and an extra gps'r.
  9. We're glad you had a wonderful Birthday trip. The geocoin looks awesome. Thanks for all the hard work.
  10. We really like the idea. We would love to be included if possible. Thanks.
  11. Santa arrived with four beautiful geocoins. Thanks for the fun. Mission complete.
  12. Mission complete. Waiting for Santa!
