WHOO HOO!! Congrats!!!

Here is a new list I'm working on. I think I got them all. Allen County Indiana Caches

Here is one for around Steuben County in Northeast Indiana. Steuben County Indiana Caches I'll have to update it after I see if the caches at ACRES Land Trust sites are going to stay or go. Marty

Checking out avatar.

I've seen the great work you all do here and wondered if someone could come up with something for me. Mintaka is the third star in the belt of the constellation Orion. I have played around with Photoshop, Illustrator and Paint Shop Pro but I just don't have the creative gene .

Everyone!?!? I better get there early before all the parking is gone .

Congrats bgf!!! Do you still have time to fish??

The story for Northeast Indiana is not so good. 400 caches = 30.8 miles 2 USA coins (1 missing) 1 LFD Red Handed coin (missing) 1 Nano Twins Generic Geocoin Expanding the search to 941 caches (50 miles) only adds: 1 Kansas 1 Team Desert Eagle, which is a copy So within 50 miles of my house, there are only 3 active, real coins. Of course I wasn't counting event caches. BTW, there were 3 White Jeeps listed. All missing.

I got mine today!! They look great. Nice job!

I got my pigeon coins today. They look great. Thanks!!

As I am waiting for another coin I know things seem to be bogged down right now. Any more word other than "next week"?

Was that an older USA Geocoin? I remember sending one out with that activation code! I don't know how they are generated, I would guess randomnly. It wasn't. That's weird.

Do activation codes count? I had one for a coin that was SEXUSE . How are these generated?

They look great!!

Any word on these yet?

The seller doesn't even have most of the coins they're selling in hand yet.

So far, my vote goes to: The Messenger's Demise I haven't had the pleasure of looking at Insane Asylum yet

I have seen a reference to the old Fort Wayne group but not the "new" group. Here it is: Fort Wayne Geocachers

Fantastic job Buddaman and Lead Dog!!!

Thanks Serial Finder for the contest!! Suprised the you-know-what outta me to see your e-mail. I now officially have a coin "collection" (2).

About four years ago there was a cache here in Fort Wayne where you had to look for brass tags attached to phone poles. The tags had the name of a cache on it, all out of state. You had to search for that cache and find the note in the logs online. He had permission from the cache owners. His notes were progressive skip space number puzzles. The name of the cache where the notes were placed contained a number. That number was the amount of spaces you skipped. They gave you the coords for the next tag on a pole. There were about 3 stages before you got the final coords. It was a lot of fun.

I'm sure I'm not even in the first 30 or 40 but this was fun. I can't wait until next month!!

Will we know if we won the first contest before the questions come out for the second?
