Typically in this manner: "Oh no! Not another Jayhawk Fan!"
Purple supporters are so jealous of the NATIONAL CHAMPION JAYHAWKS!
BTW has a K State team ever been a national champion of anything?

Not to add to the confusion of this mix, but here's another question:
Some geocoins were DONATED to an event that I attended recently. I "won" one of these coins, but as it turns out, I am not allowed to be the registered owner of the coin. I'm a little upset about this, because I had no idea that this was a stipulation when I won the coin. If I was given the coin as a raffle prize, I would have assumed that this meant it was mine--I was listed as the registered owner. The person that donated the coins told the person that he gave them to that they were "ready to be adopted out." I've contacted the owner and his statement to me is that the coin is mine and I can do whatever I want with it, but he won't let me adopt the geocoin until he knows me. (He doesn't even live in the same state, so how will he get to know me?)
I feel like I'm renting a car--nice to look at, great to feel, I can even lie to people and tell them it's mine, but in reality, it's not. If the owner wanted the coin back, I would give it back because he OWNS it, not me.
I only buy geocoins. I've never traded any and I've not sold them on e-bay either. I've already promised the owner that I would never sell it and heck, I'll write up a written agreement with a cash penalty clause! But I like to OWN the geocoins in my collection, and as far as I see it, I don't OWN this geocoin.
Am I wrong or confused? Can someone help me out here?
I have given my coins to different events to be won. It is know from the beginning that they are activated and are not up for adoption. No one who has every won one has ever complained.
However, if you were told you could adopt it, you should be able to do that.
It sounds like the the owner is being jerk. If you don't want to keep it, place it in a cache and watch it travel.

This thread was just brought to my attention. Either I or my AJAYHAWKFAN geocoin was mentioned numerous times in this thread so I thought I would explain my thought on my geocoin.
However, before that I needed to clear somethings up written by Arthur & Trillian.
Groundspeak can say what they want, but in the real world, the Moun10Bike's and the AJAYHAWKFAN's of the world can parade up and down the streets pounding their chests saying they own every coin of theirs out there when in reality, they own only the coins they possess and a few web pages of registrations.
Other coins are done by people who are known and if they put such stipulations on their coins it is to feed their ego more than anything.
A & T, I have never paraded up and down the streets saying I own my coins. (I have never stated my coins are better then anyone else's either.) Many people have one of my coins and I consider them theirs.
Also. Some of us do put stipulations on our coins. We don't do it for ego we do it because that is how we want the coins treated. There is NOTHING wrong with that. We paid for the coins and we can request that. It has nothing to do with ego.
A & T, those statements show how ignorant you are because you don't know me and you don't know the facts behind my coin.
Regarding my AJAYHAWKFAN geocoin:
When I had my coins minted in late 2005 my plan was to place them in caches. I never intended on selling any of my coins (I did sell a set of coins for the American Cancer Society). I was also going to activate all of them because I wanted to see where they traveled.
I did plan on trading a few and at first traded with almost everyone. That had to be stopped because there were more request then I ever imagined. So I limited my trading to states where I have cached and coins of cachers I have met. Everyone who trades with me knows the coin will be activated and that they need to log it. After they log it, it is theirs to do what they want.
I received my coins in Feb. 2006. I started placing them in caches. I would guess I have placed close to 250 coins in caches in at least 20 different states. They are all activated. If someone finds the coin and wants to keep it, they are welcome to as long at they log it. I hope they take it to events. Again, I like seeing where they travel.
A few people have been kind enough to write and ask if they could keep the coin found in a cache. I request a trade. My trade it to place any 2 coins in the wild to replace the coin they took. I have had no one turn that trade down. (I am going to ask them to place the two in the wild with a missing to find me.)
If someone has possession of my coin through a legitimate way, they can do with it what they want. I only ask that if they trade, sell of give the coin away the new owner logs it.
I not going to fight to keep my coins being sold. In my opinion that takes to much energy and I have better things to do.
The saddest part to me about putting coins out is that so many are taken from the cache and never logged. I consider those coins stolen. I would estimate the number of stolen coins is in the 40% range. When I know for sure one was stolen I will put a note on the web page stating that.
I hope that explains my thought about my coin.

Looking for clubs or members to answer general questions. about the Branson West Mo. area. I want to have a good working knowledge of how this is supposed to work before i bring my family out. I have Daughters that i have brought out with me hunting and they dont share my same interests of walking around the country side looking for something that they cant find. I ask about the Branson area since i will be retiring from the military in Feb and moving there shortly thereafter.
There is an Ozark Mountain Cache group not far from Branson West. OZARK MOUNTAIN I know they are a friendly group and would be happy to help.
The Branson West area has a lot of quality cache. Good Luck and have fun.

I'm new to geocaching. I'm in the process of preparing my first cache. I was reading through the rules and I came across this;
Commercial Caches / Caches that SolicitSolicitations are also off-limits. For example, caches perceived to be posted for religious, political, charitable or social agendas are not permitted. Geocaching is supposed to be a light, fun activity, not a platform for an agenda.
Some exceptions can be made. In these rare situations, permission can be given by the Geocaching.com web site. However, permission should be asked first before posting. If you are in doubt, ask first.
I was thinking of including some CD's in my cache. The songs are of a religious nature. Would this be acceptable?
That should not be a problem. You don't need to list what is going in the cache.

According to there website the coins have all been struck and are in the process of being engraved with tracking nums and such and they will post here when available.
Thanks for that info. Just checked it out, and really like this year's design. Sure hope they'll have some for us Lower 49-types!
There will be PLENTY for you lower 48 types, unlike Green Jeeps for us
Last week I left my green jeep up there for you guys. I guess you will all have to share it.

I was planning on riding out west during a warm weekend or this spring. My plan was to ride a lot of gravel and minimum maintenance roads on the way out. If that is what you are interested in let me know.
