[NASA’s Mars Rover Perseverance is trackable via Geocaching! (TB5EFXK)]

I found the code, it takes me to the page, but it's still locked. When will it be opened?

[Guess who's awake? Ticks!]

I came home to find one attached a few months ago during one of our warm spells and had to perform self-surgery. Fortunately it had only been attached a couple hours (although there was already a ring around the dern thing.) It's now preserved in alcohol just in case I start getting any symptoms. I use it as a reminder to spray the Deet.

I am in awe!

[Gallery of Hand Made Geocoins, Sig coins and tokens.]

This is my new favorite thread (and my kids thought I was creative). Really enjoyed looking through all of the different items. My sig item is a 1" button pin I designed and had made pretty inexpensively. My son wants his own sig item too so are working on a poker chip for him. If anyone wants to trade pm me.

[My Geocaching Bag]

Thanks Wavevector - this was a great idea to help someone like me. As a definite noob, I was happy to see that I was naturally following suit with you seasoned veterans of geocaching. My kids thought I was nuts when I grabbed one of their leftover book bags and started throwing stuff in. We don't have enough stuff for swag yet, but you've got to start somewhere so here i go . . .
