I am glad that there is a chance you guys can make it. I will email my cell number to you.

Okay know that I have a moment to refocus on this, I will be looking into that. Thanks for the suggestion, I had not thought of other scouts.

I would love to help out since I have not done the caches at Schold Farm yet, but, unfortunately, I will be in Spokane at the time. Thanks for the offer, if things change please let me know. Lori

I am a Bear (9yr olds) Den leader for my church Cub Scouts. I have been talking to them about Geocaching. They are excited to go and find the ones I hide around the church. As leaders, we have planned Caching Pack Meeting on August 8th at 6 pm at Schold Farms in Silverdale, Wa. I am looking to my fellow caching buddies who are willing to come out and help them. You would be willing to let them use your GPS and give them guidence when they are looking and replacing. You would be with a Cub Scout [8, 9, or 10 yr old] and his family. I am hoping to get enough cachers to help out so they all have a positive experience and hopefully become future Geocachers. Each Cub Scout will be assigned two caches to do in the park then they can return to the parking area. If you are interested, please email me at jazmat05@gmail.com with the subject line: Cub Scouts Geocaching.

I tried www.dorkfishcoins.com and got nothing. Do you have a link that works???

If it wasn't for our GeoDog, "Lit'l Bit", we would have missed this cache!

I think placing unactivated or personal coins in caches is great. What a wonderful surprize for that next cacher. But some of us don't get out of our own area much. Once I have done local caches, there isn't much chance at finding coins dropped afterwards. So contest gives me the chance at a coin I might not ever have gotten other wise. Happy Caching

I quess I am too impatient. It is working just fine now. Lummieh

Anyone else having problems with connecting with the geocoincollection.com web site?

I have contacted GC and they can't find the coin either. I sent a picture to verify the number. We'll see what happens next.

Well.... I got 4 out of 5 activated. But still come up with the same error on the 5th one. It's got to be my ISP or computer doing some goofy things. Lummieh

I got my Compass Rose coins the other day and retrieved my activation codes. But now trying to activate them at GC I have been getting the error "The Travel Bug you requested does not exist in the system". Has anyone else had this problem??? Lummieh

I have some Coinapalooza '08' coins left over to trade. They are Black Nickel & 1.25".

Picked up my package today from the PO. They look SO GOOD! Thank you Loran for the extra special surprize included. Your coins are my favorite personal geocoin series. Dianne

YES! It is all your fault that I am doing a Pacific Sand Dollar. TSD Yes indeedy..... I'm sure glad to be blamed for something GOOD for a change. Love your Sand Dollars! Can't wait to get these precious coins in hand.

Email sent. Would want to miss getting these to go with my other Team Sand Dollar geocoins! PS: Is that Pacific Sand Dollar the one I think it is???

If it is a coin I want for my collection, then yes I will trade for an activated coin to adopt. I started out activating all my coins then the geocoin thing got way out of hand. Personals, States, GeoClubs and non-geo related coins. So I had to make a choice as to what coins I wanted to keep. I opted for personal coins. So now I have many non-personal coins that have been activated. It is hard to find adoptive homes for them. Good luck to you Lummieh aka Ole Woman of the Tribe

Put me down for a trade please!!! I'll have to update my trade list and hope I have something you would like. Lummieh

To bad we can't put a watch on this cacher. Oooowch... Just calling him a cacher hurts the ears! (I am watcher #20)

Thanks for all your kind words. For those that know my daughter Lori, aka Naha Tyee. She was in a bad car accident a week ago. She was ejected from the Tracker through the back. Her seat belt was still clipped. The back of the seat must have broken. She took the soft top with her as she flew out. This was about the only good thing, as it was a buffer between her and the road. She is one LUCKY gal. No broken bones and just a few minor scraps. Her clothing weren't even torn. She still wears a hard collar neck brace till all the swelling goes down and they are sure there is no fractures that wasn't found during the initial exam. Here is her email address if anyone would like to send her get well wishes. jazmet05@gmail.com Lummieh aka Dianne

With regrets the Tribe will not be hosting a GeoPoker Run this year. Dealing with illnesses, a death in the family and an auto accident. We just don't have the time or energy to get the event off the ground this year. I also took on a 9 to 5 job and Lori will be working right up to the time of the event. If there is someone that would like to step up and take this event over, we would be more than happy to help get them organized and setup with details of the Run. We have enjoyed the last two years and hopefully next year we will be in better shape to carry on again. Dianne

No overload here! That is great information. I have a Cannon Rebel EP-EX15 with an 18-55 lens, 28-80 w/macro and a 70-300 w/macro. I do have a tri-pod and a remote controller for the camera. They don't make the mannual cable shutter release for the new digital SLR. I have to read up on it everytime since I don't use it much. Your light box looks very interesting. I didn't realize you can get natural light bulbs. I knew you can get the 4 ft tube lights in it. Well it looks like I'll be experimenting with my camera and geocoins. Thanks for all the info

I have tried the scanner and this is the best I could get. On the next sunny day I'll try taking pictures of the coins outside. I'll let you know.

Thanks... Is that a digital or SLR camera? Using the macro makes sense.

We have a canon digital SLR. All our photos are taken in daytime near the patio door but we use the flash too. Most were taken on a brown piece of fabric. I am not sure of the camera settings though. Thanks... I too have a Canon Digital SLR. But don't seem to get the clear details as your pictures. I guess I'll have to take more pictures and experiment with different settings. Do you use the micro setting?
