    Alaska Geocoin, is now available

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Puchased two of the .999 silver and one of the .999 silver with gold-

     

    In my opinion, there are highest quality and nicest looking coins out there.

     

    Can't wait to get them!

     

    And, be on the lookout CT area cachers, I'll be putting one of the .999 silver ones as a FTF prize in one of our new caches.

    "Anyhow .... I had a deer camera at the site and have given them until July 14th before their smiling face is posted to the world -- film at 11."

     

    Any photos?

     

    Speaking of red herrings...... B) That was a fake post! haha!

     

    I once was a manager for a hotel. One of my Front Desk Agents had $3000 stolen from their float. They were very upset and we had to go report it to the police. On the way back from the Police station, I told them to act happy and relieved.... tell everyone that they Police said it would be no problem to find the person that stole the money and an arrest would be coming shortly (not true). Strangely, the money re-appeared.

     

    It didn't work with the coins, but was worth a shot.

     

    Well, ya' got me with that one- :)

    Amen brother! Words to live by--

    Gc.com Caps, Regular Version?

    We will be bringing back some of the ball cap style hats within the next few weeks. We are looking at a few different styles and have just pikced our favorites from some samples. The Green caps will be back, although not identical to the old ones (and not as grungy as the used ones).

     

    Thanks for the update, I look forward to checking them out. :D

    In this area it only took one Geocacher to get us tossed out of an entire town. You have to think about the message you are sending with your logs.

    Are you talking about Southbury?

     

    If that is the case then what you are claiming is NOT true, and NOT fair to blame a Geocacher for it. Please don't let personal feelings you may or may not have toward a particular cacher get in the way of the facts--

     

    Southbury has the "elitist" policy regarding their parks. No out-of-towners or out of staters allowed, only residents are allowed usage.

     

    So, the problem they had was non-resisidents using their parks, (the horror!) not Geocaching specifically.

     

    A quote from a now archived cache that was in the town in question-

     

    "Hello-We are pretty upset over here at the Southbury Land Trust (zip code 06488, Connecticut). One of our members found some discussion on your message boards regarding several of our town properties and some notations from your posters regarding "ignoring posted warnings 'town residents only'". While I have spent some time on your web site, and it seems your members are interested in protecting the environment, we are not happy about the promotion and encouragement of visiting our parks and land trust properties, unless they are indeed residents of the town. These lands are paid for and protected by our residents and are not open to the public. As we are short on resources, we have little means to enforce this other than signage, which we expect to be respected. Anything you can do to support us is certainly appreciated."

    Apologies for beating the issue to death, but as another poster stated we don't need any witch hunts.

     

    If Southbury isn't the town you are talking about, apologies, and if that is the case which town has the ban?

    Shortest Time From Placement To Muggling?

    This happened today.

     

    Went to check on a multi cache of ours yesterday, happily finding both containers in good shape.

     

    Today, I had a Geocoin I wanted to drop in the final for a cacher that had been having trouble finding it, only to discover that the container is now GONE! :unsure:

     

    I honestly spent over a minute looking at the spot where it was suppossed to be blinking my eyes in hopes it would re-appear- :(

     

    Odd, odd, odd.

    I guess it's okay to dump all my trash in the woods, because few people will see it. Heck, maybe next time I change my oil, I'll pour it into one of your nearby creeks, because few people will notice.

    Apples and Oranges.

     

    Moving a couple stones doesn't pollute the environment like dumping trash or oil.
