  1. My wife Kat6 and I always look for virtuals along routes when we travel. We also try to do the virtuals in and around the city we are visiting. Next month we go to Williamsburg VA and the Newport News area. We have many to pick up. We did Cream ME Up Scotty GCA238 the other day and had a great our of a dairy and has some great ice cream.

    I am lucky to own 5 virts and have a Mystery Cache GC1V5MP Georgia Virtual Cache Challenge

     

    where you are requested to find all remaining Virtuals in Ga now at 91 then find the cache. Of course the cache is available to all with out the ALR.

  2. I have a Palm M105 PDA to give away. I was going to Freecycle it, but thought I'd offer it here first in case there are any cachers local to me who want to give paperless caching a go.

     

    Collect from Cambridge, UK (Perne Road area).

     

    If I've not heard anything within a few days I'll offer it on Freecycle.

     

    I'm not looking to post it out - I'm giving it away to save hassle and would rather try Geocachers first before I try Freecycle (where I know there'll be loads of people who want it).

    I'd gladly pay the freight across the pond!

  3. Seems like I am hogging this thread, perhaps for my own ego. LOL :)

     

    Next I would like to nominate:

     

    Parents of Sam : Stephanie is a very kind and generous person. We have fun chatting about her children and my daughter. She has been very generous in our trades as well, sending extras for PengoBeky and arranging trades at GW5 through another cacher so that we can get her girls' micro set. She also helps promote geocaching and helped put together the 'peeps' and did the 'duckie' group too for MWGB. She's great!! :)

     

    I second this nomination!

  4. I just spoke to the maker of the coin and from our conversation

    1)it is trackable on GC and

    2) the icon is a pink ribbon with a Red Maple Leaf on it

    3) the coin profits will go to his local Kohmen Org. who have given him permission to use the ribbon

    4) this will be a round coin not a ribbon coin like mine was.

     

    We didn't talk about price etc as he was at work. He will post more soon.

    The only other breast cancer geocoin I am aware of was in the states and it sold out before production.

    Bob,

    FYI on the "Cachers For The Cure" Breast Cancer Geocoin, authorized by Susan Komen Foundation that I produced:

    We made 600 of them and they were sold to cachers in Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Portugal and the United States.

    It wasn't a coin just for the states.

     

    Link to my coin.

     

    I champion your continuing to help in the effort to help research in the fight against Breast Cancer.

  6. A very beautiful coin, thanks! :P

     

    When I was little, I lived on the Coast Guard station in Port Huron, MI. I lived in the cluster of buildings a few feet from the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse. I tell people I had a lighthouse in my front lawn when I was a little girl. :P It made a big impression on me, it's why I love lighthouses now.

    Here's history:

    FOR: Immediate Release

    Goddard Park State Beach and Warren Town Beach Closed to Swimming Due to High Bacteria Levels

     

    Providence – Today the Rhode Island Department of Health (HEALTH) in cooperation with the Department of Environmental Management (DEM) and the Town of Warren advised the public that Goddard Park State Beach (Warwick) and Warren Town Beach will be closed for swimming until further notice. Other areas of Goddard Park remain open for recreational use.

     

    "The most recent water samples for these two beaches show coliform bacteria levels above the bathing water standard," said Dr. Patricia Nolan, Director of Health in Rhode Island. "We will recommend reopening the beaches when we know they're safe."

     

    State authorities regularly monitor beaches for bacteria and other contaminants. Samples taken on August 28th showed elevated fecal coliform bacteria. HEALTH officials refer to recent heavy rains as contributing to the problem in these two areas. Officials will continue to monitor bacteria levels over the next few days.

  8. I would love to be a part of this memorial, but I cannot email you because the goecaching.com website is down for maintenance-whatever that means. I will check tomorrow to see what is going on.

    Site down for upgrades!

     

    Email sent thanks Marky!
