Come on folks! At least pretend to dip them in your mail boxes! This is the MAILBOX thread!!I did take the photos right next to the mailbox. Does that count?

I will admit I have not read all the posts, but here is my two cents:
I give favorite points to caches I enjoyed and would recommend to others. Sometimes this is because of the cache itself, sometimes because of the cache location and sometimes it is because of the “journey” to find the cache.
I don’t take the favorite points too seriously. If I am going out caching and I only have time for one or two caches I might use the favorite points to help determine which cache to go after, but that is only if it has more than a couple of points. Otherwise I go after the one that I have the time for or is in an area I want to cache in.

The final coins are here. If anyone is interested send a PM or come by the Evanston Wyoming Roundhouse!
I will be sending out invoices this week to all who pre-ordered.

Didn’t actually get them in the mail; picked them up directly last Friday. Now avalible for sale (send me a PM).

One I couldn’t resist getting! I remember watching the first shuttle launch on TV in Mrs. Newell’s class.

I am a scout leader and have taken the boys out caching a few times.
I also have a scout themed cache that my son and I hid but hasn't been visited very often. After reading this thread I wonder if people think it was hid by a troop not by and individual.

Part B:
Canadian Retirees: Many Canadian Retirees travel the I-15 corridor every late fall and early spring as they migrate to the warmer climates of Arizona and Mexico to spend the winter. This is not the only migration route of the Canadian Retiree, but it is a very popular one on the west side of North America. Some may say they follow the Canada Goose, but their frequent stops at gas stations and restaurants do not allow for the same migration patterns of the Canada Goose. In addition these Canadian Retirees do not often travel in groups (or packs or gaggles or herds) but do occasionally travel in pairs. They can usually be identified by their Canadian license plates.
The length of a Canadian Retirees migration is dictated by travel arrangements, finances and rules and laws of migration location. Most Canadian Retirees spend 180 days in the warm winter climates before returning to their native land. Additional taxation laws affect the location and length of stay of many Canadian Retirees.
Canadian Retirees are, for the most part, very friendly and sociable, though some are unfamiliar with tipping practices (or customs) in U.S. restaurants.

Will be picking up these coins this week and selling them at the Roundhouse Festival August 5th, 6th & 7th, so unless you are in south west Wyoming next weekend and would like to order a coin please let me know. If you have already contacted me I have you on the list and will be sending out emails this week confirming quantities.
They will be $10 each and $3 dollars shipping.

We left some Boy Scouts of America patches from the 1950's as a FTF in our Scout themed patch trader cache.
That's blasphemy...
They were patches we had multiples of. My wifes grandfather was a professional scouter and her father gave my son a large collection of his old patches (mostly from Idaho and Utah). Non of them are very valuable but my son likes them. Our cache was set up for people to trade patches, but so far no one who has visited has left a patch.

Ordered my coin today. Looking forward to seeing it in person.
Any additional information on the art that inspired the coin?

Just read an interesting article about people following their GPS unit into danger and my first thougt (after reading that they were ok) was "I hope they weren't out caching!"

I would like to add my cache GC2DPAQ as a home. Mine would qualify for 1,4 or 7 AND I am currently working on two caches right now that would qualify for 1,2,5 & 6

I don't know about from Canada, but going into Canada and back to the States we only needed the kids birth certificates because they were under 18 and with us. We still needed our passports.
We just visited Canada last week and did some caching while we were there.
-
Found them.
I will have to look up GSAK and check it out.
-
We have a 6 month old and we just returned from a road trip for a wedding. I planned all the stops for feeding her around cache locations me and the older kids could do while the baby ate. No real significant caches, though we did do our first earth cache.

I am not sure this is the right forum for this question, but here goes....
Why does my statistics say "You've found 98 caches (96 distinct) since your first ......."
What are distinct caches?
I looked through my list of caches and have not accidently logged ine more then once. I have gone back to some and left notes though.
You logged two caches twice!
Notes posted won't cause the problem. If your'e a GSAK user you can use it to sort your finds and the duplicate ones will show up. This isn't uncommon I had the same problem. I spent a lot of time looking through the lists then used GSAK and found the problem right away.

Some thing similar happened to me, only the email to me was nicer. I went to log a bug I had grabbed and it showed in another cache (not where I grabbed it) so I logged it as grabbed from somewhere else and dipped it into the one we picked it up from. I had not dropped it off yet (and still havn't) when I recieved an email asking me to delete my logs and that they would log the bug in as dropped off in the cache we grabbed it from. After they do this we will log that we grabbed it from the correct cache and hopefully all will be well. (They had been traveling and did not have computer access yet to log it. It had been a couple of weeks from it's last discovery, that's why I grabbed and dipped it the way I did. If it had been just a few days I would have waited longer to log it).

ILYKRight now Nickel, Black Nickel and Gold. (See earlier sample photos)
