  1. Well, if you can figure out which hotel we can stalk him!
  2. GSA-Thank you for spreading cheer. I completely understand your decision for V2, perhaps a new coin to send to those who truly make a differnece in the geocoin world? These people would be much less likely to profit from your generosity, and at the same time you would be giving to those truly deserving of your kindness. Just a thought.
  3. Trading Style? Hmmm.... Don't have one, don't trade coins, just like to drop them in caches and/or help to move travellers along, that's my style. Certainly makes it easier on my back, it's fun though to watch everyone lugging 100's of pounds of coins around in various ways!
  4. Cool!? Looking forward to meeting you in person, what hotel will you be staying at?!
  5. Please set it free as it was intended to be. These are meant to travel and are not to be kept and certainly not traded.
  6. My suggestion would be to do the old fashioned thing and call them. Emails can disappear in cyberspace. If you call them and get blown off then you know for sure that it didn't just get lost in the mail!
  7. So, who's coming to our lovely state for the MEGA event? (Or who's already in the state and going, as the case may be!)
  8. I would have to disagree and say that things like this does harm the community. Not in the physical sense obviously, but there is a trust that is broken and that tends to leave much longer lasting wounds. Each time something like this happens people are a little more cautious, a little more hesitant and ultimately a little less trusting of the "community". That is where the harm comes in.
  9. Some have stated in the past that they have no problem selling mystery coins, that they would if they felt like it. If you know this info. going in and still give these people a mystery coin, well.... On the other hand if they went out and searched it out in a cache and then sell it, that's just wrong. Sure, you need money for some tragedy, fine, I get it. Trade the coin to someone for some coins that can be sold without going against the whole idea of a mystery coin. I know, let me guess, they don't have time to make that trade and then sell right? So many people still seem to have plenty of time for conversing in the forums...... Sorry if this is snappish, but either geocoiners are the most unlucky group of people out there, or a lot of people are using excuses to get away with selling coins off that they know they shouldn't.
  10. AA is really nice, but I find it much more important for my SLR. My Canon point and shoot can go 400-500 pix before needing a battery change, so 2 batteries for a trip and I'm safe.
  11. The new Canons will work great for what you need in that price range. Tripod is a good thing too!
  12. Another vote for drilling and using airplane cable, we've had great success this way.
  13. I think it's safe to say that for us dinosaurs, we still have most if not all of our old friendships, and still have discussions quite often, it's just been taken off the forum. Hopefully the newbies can find some friendships in here to cultivate. My suggestion to that would be the trade thread, cuz that's kinda the last old school thing around and it certainly brings you to a more personal and individual level with someone.
  14. Still around, just don't bother posting much anymore, don't see a point generally. Hope all is well and that you are back to enjoy caching again!
  15. There's been many a discussion on this before, course I don't feel like finding them, so.... Short answer is I don't like them at all. If you insist on putting one out, please clearly label it in the coin title and throughout the page so I know I'm going out for a fake! (Not u of course, but anyone who is reading this and decides to do it)
  16. Sorry to hear about your loss! We've actually had great luck with our coins moving. Some have been going for a couple of years now and ten thousand plus miles. I think largely it's because we drill them and tag them, thus making them pretty much worthless. Some have disappeared for almost a year, only to pop up again, so hopefully they'll come back to life!
  17. I don't know if those use the same type of sole or not, but I have 2 pairs of the Venice (more Teva sandal like) and while they are very comfortable, the traction is nowhere close to a Teva and when the footbed gets wet it can get quite slippery and dangerous. I have also found that they break down quicker than my Tevas and lose the cushion that I so desperately need. For casual hiking they're great, but that's about it.
  18. Guess that's the difference, it's more "buying" than "collecting" to me when there are vast amounts out there. And I have to say I don't understand the icon thing, maybe we should just start selling icons and forget the coins. It'd be a lot cheaper!
  19. I'd rather see all coins limited to 200 or so, bring the fun back in it!
  20. The artist who draws it is the one who should get the AE, seems pretty straight forward to me. Oh, but hey, perhaps there is another edition that should come out, the CE, the concept(or's) edition. Why not, what's one more edition?!
  21. Don't know about a list, but California has a coin every year (done by the same person for several years now) and I would expect it to be no different this year. Can't say for Missouri.
  22. Whether it's legal or not is not as much of an issue as integrity here, it seems tacky to me that nobody asked. I'm sure if the 2nd coin maker had asked, the 1st would have said "go for it" being that it's for a good cause. Maybe I'm wrong, but a little courtesy could have gone a long way.
  23. Doesn't compute. Bars force you to drink to replenish what should have been there in the first place. That is not a plus outcome, that is a zero outcome. Unless you mean you wouldn't drink otherwise? That would be me. I am horrible about remembering to drink, so the shots get me drink probably to the point I should have been all along.
  24. Wow, is this something new or did someone report you? I've used paypal for dozens of big projects and never had this happen and I never mail through paypal on them. Bummer deal!
  25. Our prayers are with their family.
