    I received my Sunshine a couple of days ago from Sunsetmeadowlark! She sent a beautiful card with some Montana postcards, a Montana key chain, LOTS of candy, and two coins: the Cacher Geocoin in blue (my fav!) and a Cache Gods are Angry coin in a beautifully decorated frame. Thank you, thank you, so much! What a lovely surprise after several days of Michigan rain. The coolest part is that Ronni was one of my first friends over on pathtags.com and has designed several tags for me! It's such a small world.

     

    Thanks for a GREAT mission! I can't wait to do another one. :):D:D

  2. Received my package today, thanks Turlutortue! She sent me a great Midwest Geo-bash 2007 coin (which is cool since I live in Michigan), a The Cachingplace.com pin and her sig item, a cute little turtle. How do you make those, Jacqueline? It almost looks like the Shrinky-Dinks we had when I was a kid. Also a beautiful hand-made card with dried flowers-think Spring! Thanks again for everything. I hope you like what I sent you.

    Chris :(

    Having trouble uploading the pic, hope this works!

  3. As a fellow n00b, one thing that has helped me is to click on the map section on the cache page. Then I use the satellite view and zoom in as close as it will let me. I was able to find a few caches just using that before I got my GPSr. The overhead view really helps!

  4. I had always wanted to try letterboxing, but didn't know how to use a compass, might get lost, etc. I made excuses not to try something new even though I thought it might be fun. In September my grown daughter told me about geocaching and asked if I wanted to go with them. I went, and was hooked! I bought a GPS so I didn't have to wait for them to be available and now I go by myself or with my dog. It's more fun to go with others, though.

  5. I just grabbed my geocaching bag after a period where I hadn't been very active and I did an inventory. The contents are a snapshot of my geocaching activity. I emptied it right out and made a list. I think it would

    be interesting to see inside your geocaching bag. So how about it, post a snapshot of your geocaching bag?

    My Geocaching Bag

    The contents of my bag with some explanations:

    My dog Ana.

    Screen Protectors - A package of screen protectors, swag. I use these handy dandy Radio Shack specials on both my GPS and my digital camera.

    Rope: This is a bundle I keep in my geocaching bag because rope is handy, I have found stray dogs several times while out caching.

    A flashlight, swag and handy to have if I need it for something else.

    A "Cat in the Hat Came Back" book and a "Cat in the Hat" Game CD. I am collecting these "Cat in the Hat" themed items for a cache I am planning, I like starting caches with themed goods.

    The box for my Oregon 400T, my wife actually put it in the bag because I had it sitting out and she knows exactly why I bought it. :rolleyes:

    Night-glo creatures, more themed swag for Esplanight.

    A piece of bark, the raw materials for a "clue" rebuild, collected a while ago.

    A Leathermen Fuse.

    A Colorado pin.

    Spare note books.

    Other geocachers signature items, my favourite thing to find in a cache, I found item's from these geocachers in my bag; DMVC, The Ski Bum, OU8Alizzard, Dr Webe and a card from the GeoCache Junkies(Jezebel1967, Joxer and MaggieL).

    A cache "Finders Card" for local cacher marmelkascar's cache "Drive You Nuts".

    A 9-11 Commemorative dollar given to me by a fellow geocacher at the first Geocoinfest in Temecula where I had the extraordinary pleasure of meeting geocachers/geocoiners like Moun10Bike, Cornerstone4 and AtlantaGal just to name a few, I put a lot of pictures in my log for that cache. I met many other wonderful geocachers but unfortunately I haven't yet met avroair who managed to miss his flight, which is particularly ironic given that his geocaching handle makes me think he owns a private jet. :)

    I found four Travel bugs.

    A trackable "Unite for Diabetes" geocoin.

    A trackable Celtic Cross geocoin making it's first journey, just released by a new geocacher.

    An empty shell casing picked up while "Benchmarking" near Havre, Montana.

    A musket ball found in the Cypress Hills on a geocaching adventure.

    A Rendez-vous 2008 geocoin.

    An Arctic Nomads personal geocoin.

    A Def-con geocoin.

    Notebooks.

    Mini-bic pencils.

    A compass.

    A camera.

    My Oregon 400T.

     

    Normally I don't carry the items in the bottom right of the picture.

    19 Alberta Wild Rose geocoins that belong to the AGWG, these beautifiul geocoins were manufactured by my friend Mike at The Geocoinstore, the same place you go to buy Signal Geocoins. The design was created by Alberta geocacher and artist, peanutbutterbreadandjam with help from a group of Alberta geocachers. These 19 Wild Rose coins are part of a series. Right beside those Wild Rose geocoins are nineteen of the metal "I am a traveller, Don't Keep Me" geotags that are made by Oakcoins and designed to be attached to travelling geocoins.

     

    Here's my geocaching bag, pretty lame I know:

    A free tote from my job

    My GPS and carry case

    My folder of cache info

    Some SWAG for the kiddies

    My one and only geo coin

     

    I"m a newb!
