    Travel Bug Race - National Trust

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    Have you got any hints and tips for me to try and make it a success?

    I'm fairly new to setting these up and really feel it's an excellent way to promote access to NT properties.

     

    a stop watch probably isn't going to be the ideal method of tracking the time it takes to move them. The website will do that for you (assuming the bugs get logged correctly).

     

    This page in our Knowledge Books might be helpful:

     

    2.2. Displaying Several Trackables on the Same Page, Good For Races

     

    And perhaps other folks in this forum may like the idea and use it for their own purposes as well.

    Shawshank Redemption Cache

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    From a radio broadcast on NPR.org, August 4, 2011:

     

    The 1994 prison drama The Shawshank Redemption is a Hollywood rarity, in that it wasn't shot in Hollywood. The filmmakers didn't use New York or Toronto either. Instead, Shawshank was filmed almost entirely on location, in and around the Rust Belt city of Mansfield, Ohio, about halfway between Columbus and Cleveland.

     

    ...

     

    Just a few days ago, after my visit to Mansfield, a violent storm whipped through the area. And we're sorry to report that high winds split the Shawshank oak tree in half. Part of it is still standing, but it's unclear for how long.

     

    :sad: :sad: :sad:

    The Geocaching Block Party is just over two weeks away! The prizes have arrived at HQ, the t-shirts are ordered and the weather's going to be great (if we have anything to say about it). If you are joining us for the party, you can find a map and a schedule of the day's activities on the cache page.

     

    We recommend that those participating in the Geocaching Adventure Courses bring their GPS device and its corresponding download cable so that we can load course coordinates onto your device. We will have a few cables on hand, but it is safest to bring your own just in case we don't have the type that you need.

     

    We also want to see your most creative cache containers! Have you turned a bike into a cache container or created a cache that can only be opened by a team of geocachers singing "Happy Birthday?" People will be showcasing their best cache containers in the meet-up lounge from 1:30-2 pm. If your cache has already been placed in the wild, please come by the lounge to talk about it. Hopefully you will inspire other geocachers with your creativity! If you have a collection of Trackables, bring those to the party as well. Trackables will be shared in the meet-up lounge from 12-1 pm.

     

    Attendees at the Block Party will receive a special icon, which is now up on the Event Cache page. If you are not able to make it this year, we encourage you to find a geocaching event in your area so that you can celebrate the first International Geocaching Day with your fellow geocachers! You will have the chance to obtain the Block Party icon again on August 18, 2012 - the second International Geocaching Day.

    I often wonder what would happen if you got a letter from a laywer in the mail saying that your skin is infringing on a trademark.. :laughing:

     

    I like the TB idea - Just the Barcode Scarab, and a number below it though.

    Hey JP.

    I love how the forums keep such old posts. (2007!)

    :)

     

    It's funny what the years have brought us. Groundspeak's legal counsel → hip to this whole idea. Did you know that our Knowledge Books have this section?

    Trackables → Owning, Minting, Buying→ Travel Bug Tattoos

    Philippines: geocoins with this design or theme?

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Hello MissJenn,

     

    If you find any Geocoins with a Filipino theme, I would be interested. Please email me and let me know. My father is from Cebu City and I lived in Manila and Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines until I came to the states when I was in the 8th grade. However, that was a very long time ago! :)B)

     

    BTW, am I missing something here?. . .does everyone here know you?

     

    Degai, Cebu City is about 15 minutes from that statue of Lapu-Lapu. Your dad would get a kick out of that connection. If need be, remind him that it's on the way to Mactan Island.

     

    A few people know me because I'm ancient. :laughing: Been playing since 2001.

    I don't mean to sound rash, but wouldn't it have been easier to ask Bryan (or Annie now) since they have had to approve any such design? I'm just sayin. :ph34r:

    Eartha is totally right. Again. :)

    In the giant ocean of coin designs they have each looked at, it's often hard to recall some particular detail. I knew the experts in here would have good info.

    Oooooh. Thanks, GeoGerms. Is this a coin you minted? Or you acquired it from someone else? (I wrote these questions before I carefully read both of your posts above. I get it now.)

     

    There seems to be a monument of the hero Lapu-Lapu located in the Philippine City of Lapu-Lapu of all places :anibad: .

    I've been to this place a few times! This pic is from when I found the virt there in 2003. Those of you who know me may notice that I am holding that trackable towel of mine.

    FSM,

    I've got my eye on you.

     

    I just did a quick litte search and all I noticed with Philippines in the name is the Unite for Diabetes TBs. So I would say NO probably not.

    Hiya LewisClan77. Thanks.

     

    Yep - I did the same. Sometimes, using that one word alone as the keyword in a search won't work 100%. For example, if someone did a coin about Manila and all they ever said was Manila and Manila and Manila, and they referred to the Philippines only as "the P.I." (which some people do, especially military types - it stands for the Philippine Islands), I'd never get a hit.

     

    I figured I would come here and ask the experts. And maybe some expats, too.
