Count me in!

I had to open google maps to see where Honeydew, California was. Pretty cool looking area. That sounds like quite an adventure, glad you ended up with the coin! I opened up MSN Live Maps to figure out how far it was. Too bad you didnt stop by the South Bay to do some caching. Nice that you shared the motogrrl coin with other cachers in the area. Maybe the thread should be, 'What would you do to get a TGF Geocoin?'. nielsenc Thanks everyone! Honeydew is a beautiful part of California. Love these giant Redwoods! The geocoin was well worth the trip. I would really like to say that all my fellow cachers make Geocaching an awesome hobby!!! Thanks again to you all.

I missed out. Please add me to the list of seekers.. however, I dont have a personal coin to trade yet.. But, please keep me in mind. Thank you all so very much and Happy caching!

Ordered two. Thanks so much.

Finally awake enough to write and post this: Yes, I drove from Honeydew, California to Phoenix, Arizona for the Geocoin Fairy geocoin. It was 2017.8 miles round trip. When the coin sat in the Arizona cache for about 24 hours, I started in on my husband. He about flipped when I told him where it was. Hidegoseek had about the same reaction. After about another 24 hours of begging my husband, Roxy the Geodog and I were off. The trip was going well until I hit the San Bernardino area. I ended up going through a DUI check point. I had nothing to worry about I told myself and drove up to the officers. Everything was fine until one of the officers noticed live ammo in my Escalade. They immediately had Roxy and I exit the vehicle. They actually thought I had a weapon with me. I explained that it was hunting season where I lived and that the ammo was left over from camping the weekend before (target practice for me, I don't hunt). They didn't believe me. I then gave my permission for them to search. Here is the funny part. They then put me in the back of a cop car because they thought that I may make a run for it! Woot! First time ever in the back of a cop car! Then, they found my camo duct tape and a few 50 caliber ammo cans in the back of the caddy. The cans were loaded with geoswag. I then had to explain Geocaching to the cops. After a complete search and finding no weapons, they finally let me go. There goes 70 minutes of my precious time! I finally pulled over at 4 am. After two hours of sleep, we were back on the road. We were about 4 hours away from the Geocoin treasure we were seeking. After traveling this far, Roxy and I did not want to lose this coin. What made it worse was that it was a holiday weekend. I knew I would be pretty luck to get the coin. OK. Now we were within 20 miles of the cache. However, we were now in bumper to bumper traffic. Traffic is a really good reason to live in the country. It took forever to finally reach the area of the first stage of the multi cache. And on to another reason I live in the country, urban caches. I felt like everyone was watching me. Turns out, someone was. I was thrilled to meet TeamAirik at stage three. After all, they placed this clever cache. What an awesome group of cachers. I explained who I was, where I was from, and why I was there. I truely think they were shocked to hear that I have traveled so far for the Geocoin Fairy geocoin. After telling my story, Team Airik wished me luck. I made plans to meet later with Haughton's Hunters (one-third of TeamAirik) for another cache, and was off to finish the multi. Success! My very own Geocoin Fairy geocoin #147! After a quick trip to ASU to buy sweatshirts for the family, GO DEVILS, I meet back up with Haughton's Hunters. I followed him to stage one were we were very stumped. I didn't want to give up but it was 110 degrees and we were looking while under a metal roofed shade area. I felt close to a heat stroke. Roxy was none too happy in the heat herself. Prior to departing ways, I showed Haughton's Hunters my geocoins and showed him a MotoGrrl Memorial Geocoin that I brought with to Phoenix to log some miles with it. I got the impression that he was glad to be able to discover it. I hear these wonderful cachers in Arizona are icon hounds. Glad to be of service in the icon department. Then, to my delight, he gave me one of his personal Haughton's Hunters geocoins #206. Thank you so very much Haughton's Hunters. You and the rest of your team really helped make my adventure a wonderful experience. The trip back was mostly uneventful. I was planning to cache all the way home. However, I forgot my power cord to my laptop. The battery was too low to be able to down load any coordinates. Such a bummer! Also, I got lost in Oakland, California. Thank goodness for Onstar! Thanks TeamAirik for your hospitality. Thanks again Haughton's Hunters for your wonderful geocoin and one of my most memorable DNF. And last but not least, thank you very much Geocoin Fairy. I will truely cherish this coin and the nice cachers I met along the way to acquire it. Sincerely, Crazycavelover. Edited for spelling

There's one metal (polished nickel) only, it must be the camera angle or something. Glenn is going to fix that for us though... :lol: Thanks for the clarification. Very happy to have ordered two of these.

you can send it to me............ No really, I might just try to get the one in Arizona. Now how to tell my husband I am skipping out on college and going on a road trip for a geocoin..... That may not be there..... It is only SE 799.7mi from your home coordinates edited to add milage

Does anyone think I can make it from California to Arizona on time for the 2nd coin? Would someone go get it and hold it for me till I get there, LOL. No really...... Should I drive all night? Should I try the one in Washington? Am I insane....... Or desperate, LOL.

One of each please. Thanks.

Ordered 2 of these awesome coins. Are there 2 different metals? The pics look like there are 2 versions. Thanks and Happy caching!

email sent.

August 24 by The Geocoin Fairy (11 found) Stopped by this cache very early this morning before daybreak. The silouetted view was quite beautiful and I took a little while to rest from my recent travels and enjoy the peacefulness of a new day dawning. I took nothing, but left a little something for another cacher to find. Thank you for the cache. TGF One was dropped in Maine this morning.

I would like to get one in each metal please. If you make the coin in solid brass, please put me on that list for atleast one. Thank you and great looking coin. Can't wait to see it.

I missed it again. Oh well. Awesome coin.

:blink: Way cool coin. Maybe the Geocoin fairy will visit me in Honeydew, california.... really sweet coin!!
