I'm in for a couple... e-mail sent.

Asking you to remove it from 1100 logs is just STUPID. I guess I would comply with their Community Relations? Specialist's request, but I would take my good old time doing it. (3 or 4 a day and you should be done sometime in 08). CSpenceFLY - your so long winded and maybe sittin' on the fence?

I'll try this one... the Shubie Canal, the Cape Breton Canal and the Rideau Canal. Well, maybe not the Rideau Canal but we do get the politicians at times.

Found my name and the coin looks great. Will you notify us on this forum as to when and how to order?

Nice design Filter. I like the B&W concept, but those 2 flags would sure stand out if they were in colour eh? Either way, put me on your sold list for one. Thanks.

I'm not sure that I have 30 posts! But is it too late to get into this game?? I think CA, Islander1988 and a some others know me well enough to vouch for me.

FilterX, if you find two let me know. I would like to have one of these also. Maybe we can be added to the reserve list for those who don't pay up.

I hope I am not too late, e-mail sent today. B would be my choice, but either will do. Thanks, Tucats

IowaAdmin, That's a great presentation. Well done. Do you mind if we use it or place it on our local geocaching website??

Canada’s First “Geocache” Plaque Hello fellow Canadian geocachers. Well it’s been awhile, so it’s time that we posted an update for our project of placing a plaque on Canada’s first Geocache site. As some of you already know, “Geocache” GCBBA (formerly GC41) was placed by Ken Kane (eastriver) near Eastriver Nova Scotia in June of 2000. An Ontario geocacher (jeff-trex) contacted Ken awhile ago and suggested that it would be a good idea to place a plaque at the “Geocache” site to recognize the fact that it is Canada’s first, and that it came out so early in the infancy of this great sport. Ken got in contact with some members of the Maritime Geocaching Association (MGA) and from that a working group was established. After many discussions and e-mails back and forth, most of the logistic issues have been talked about and things are beginning to come together into a workable plan. Our working group consists of 6 geocachers from the Halifax NS area; and so far we have had 3 meetings to plan the “Geocache Plaque Event”. Of course, as always, the first issue to settle was where are we going to get the money to do this? We emptied our pockets, but among us we couldn’t cover the cost of a good meal at the Chickenburger in Bedford, NS. So, our first thought was we need donations from Canadian geocachers. Naw, that won’t work, it will take too long to raise the money needed to place 2 plaques (one at the actual cache site, and one at a provincial park in Eastriver NS). The one placed at the provincial park may well be an interpretative type sign that explains in more detail what Geocaching is all about. (more on that issue later) In order to raise the funds required we are producing a new Canada’s First Geocache geocoin that will fund the plaque project for “Canada’s first” cache. We are also planning a plaque unveiling event on or near the 6th anniversary date of 28 June 2006. Everyone and anyone within the geocaching community will be invited to attend and this has the potential to be a great Canadian caching event. Any remaining funds from the coin sale, after the plaques and the event expenses are covered, will go to establishing our local and regional geocaching groups. Our objective is to support and organize geocaching within the Atlantic Provinces. The new coin is in the final design stage and promises to be very unique. We have decided to have the coin made right here in Atlantic Canada, instead of the usual “Made in China” version that seems so prevalent these days. We promise that these geocoins will stand out from all the others and should be a treasured prize for your collection. You will soon see more information on this coin and the plaque event coming to the forums of your local geocaching association’s website. In the meanwhile, please visit http://www.atlanticgeocaching.com to see the latest chatter on our coin, including the ordering info / issue date and the upcoming event plan. Happy Geocaching from Canada’s First Cache working group.

Sorry that you feel the way you do about the MGA site Pushkin. You must realize that some people have real jobs that take them away from home and out of the province for long stretches at a time. Sometimes FSX can't always be at our becconed (sp) call to fix things as fast we (or he) would like. Patience my friend...patience is a gift, patience is a virtue.

We, (some MGA members) had a meeting here in Nova Scotia last evening (30 Nov 05) and I will soon post an update on the plaque project. Keep watching this post..
