I picked up my first trackable due to the following:
1.) I have a geo-caching friend down in my hometown in TX who's got them constantly moving. I was jealous darnit, I wanted to even just SEE one, ha ha.
2.) It was for a cause I deeply, DEEPLY support. It was a breast cancer awareness geocoin, something I donate time and money into every chance I get due to my family history and what's it's done to me personally. I wanted to be a part of raising awareness and keeping it in the eyes of the people, and when this geocoin came this way, I knew it was meant to be, to be part of it.
I've still got the coin, just picked it up yesterday, and am looking for the right moment/cache to place it in. It's goal is traveling the states, I want to get it to a place that it'll move quickly (although after I leave it, it's in the hands of the next cacher, I'll trust their honesty to keep it going), to complete this goal. If I could get it to Wichita Falls TX or Snyder OK, even better (in memory of my Grandma, it wasn't this cancer that took her from this realm, but it did leave it's scars), but since I can't, I'll get it as far close there as possible.
It's fun to be part of something world-wide
