  1. I found my first token tonight. I think a majority of the problem lies in the fact that they snuck the tokens in without Groundspeak's blessing. Another problem is how misleading the tokens are. I brought along a brand new cacher on this trip and he was so excited to see a token for a "free" geocoin. When we brought it home, he realized the site is having cachers write articles and full content for them at the cost of just one geocoin for every 5-10 articles you write. You have to write about an official camping location that hasn't already been written about. This company is getting free advertising and free content creation. If they are really genuinely trying to use these tokens to incorporate geocaching into their business, why make people jump through so many hoops? Why not just have us write one article or even our own personal experience about an already featured site? The answer is because this venture is purely commercial hiding behind a facade of trying to adopt geocaching into the business. I could understand a company saying "Hey, look, I want to create tokens meant to promote myself and geocaching. Lucky finders will get a free geocoin for posting a story of their cache visit on our site." Something simple that Groundspeak knew about would have been much better. CITO.
