Chickahominy

ha ha ha.... <evil laugh> Where will the mission start?? I mailed off two packages today. One to a Team Victory member and the other package to a Team Winners member. Are they both in the same country?? I wonder. I did have a strategy in my mailing. Y'all make not recognize it.. but it's there. Clarification... This mission / cointest is not about accumulating miles. The mission/cointest is to see which team can get the package BACK to me first. I have included the guidelines in a printout sent along with the missions. There is a "traveling" coin included with the mission. TB2EADC and TB2EAZ2 When you receive the package, you are to log the "traveling" coin as a found. Grabbing it from the hands of the previous person. This way, we KNOW that you have the mission IN HAND and that it passed your way. Pick or Pass... Which coin from the mission will you choose? Which will you pass on? HAVE FUN!

Yay for brothers! THANK YOU, Hope to make it to Darlington Raceway someday,Soon,KD1EJ C'mon down! The invitation stands... as long as you bring Opal with you!

Awww... thank you Opal. PS... I'm telling you, that I am DUE a red hat! LOL! I shall have to get creative and make my own!

I remember when you had this as your avatar. I love the big red flower! I want a hat, just like that!

I wish!!!!!MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! This is a wooden disc sliced from old branches about 3" to 4" around. The first one I did was for LoriDarlin. This one is Chickahominy's . I put it as an avatar to surprise her. Yes, I did mean avatar. That is GORGEOUS!! And I have to say, it might be better that it's not a cupcake, because that is way too pretty to ever eat. I love the way the crow is protecting the rooster under his beak. It makes me feel safe.

Those seem to be the farthest mailing points from the US. Yes, it is a race to get the last two coins and the tracking coin, back to me in South Carolina via USPS.

Good question. Nope, you don't have to send it to the next person on the list. Perhaps someone from each team can figure out the send order to maximize your mailing miles. Or, you can be totally random about your mailings. LOL! I'm excited, either way. I know who I will send to first. Now to pick out the coins

Shadow's Friend 30. tekkguy Okay, we do have some alternates, so if you believe that for any reason, you will not be able to fulfill the mission requirements, please speak now. I will divide the names into two teams. We will have the packages going from East coast, to West coast, to Canada, to Australia, to the UK... it is going to be fun to watch! Thank you for your interest.

Hmmm... let me see if I understand. Or rather, let me change the mission to this. Two groups of 15, with myself serving as the beginning person and ending person of the cointest. I will mail out two packages of three coins to someone on Team 1 and someone on Team 2. I will randomly pick names to be on the two teams. I reserve the right to "arrange" the teams so that equal number of overseas players (if there are any) will be on each team. The package will contain a third coin that each participant will have to log as discovered in order to get credit for their team. I will choose a member from the winning team, at random, to receive a special geocaching package from me. (Will contain at least one coin and one pathtag.) Teams are upcoming.

Okay, that's 27-28 people. I'll cut it off there and will generate a list of names tomorrow morning. Thanks for the interest!

Winter weather is keeping me inside these days. I have been thinking about this mission for some time now. It seems this is as good a time as any to put it out there and see if there is any interest. Introducing.... The Pick and Pass Mission by Chickahominy Twenty five people may participate. Your addy must be on the Geocoin Forum Mailing List. I will send out two coins to someone (chosen at random) on the Pick and Pass Mission List. The receiver will keep one of the coins, add one coin to the mission and send it on to the person of their choosing from the list. That receiver, will in turn, choose a coin, add a coin and send it on. So each participant receives two coins to choose from. In the end, the last person, sends the remaining two coins back to me. I choose 25 people because at 2 weeks a person.... 25 people will take approximately one year. Interested? Let's hear it!

I can hide some in SC.... email sent.

Just checking in and reading the thread. The coins from the 9 9 9 event were beautiful and highly collectible. I would hope a similar coin and similar dispersement methods would be employed this time. It all seemed to go so well for the Cloud 9 Events. Hoping I'm in to co-host the SC Event

Delirious... My husband and I have been getting along so well lately. I fall in love with him more each day. I'd have to say that I deliriously happily in love Thanks for the cointest.. Opal. Please exclude me from the coin drawing.

Email sent, fingers crossed Sending email : -)

Thanks for the cointest, Dr. Neal. My husband and I tell each other, I Love You, all day long. We also tell each other during the night while we are sleeping! I am honored to have a Kathy's coin, so please don't take this as an entry.

Awww... I was so close. Thanks for the drawing, Tsun.. and thank you for the beautiful coins.

I found one in a cache yesterday. I was in Wilmington, NC.

Beautiful coin! I've sent an offer of my personal for a trade. Crossing fingers... A friend's husband drilled holes in a few of my coins for me. Don't know how he did it... just glad he did. I have an Earth Turtle hanging from a leather cord on my pocketbook.
