  1. Those are pretty cool, would have loved to see this as a group project!
  2. I'm happy that this souvenir promotion actually has to do with geocaching. Now that I look at the requirements, it seems pretty do-able, and is more in line with what we would do in the normal course of things. Except for that "attend an event" thing...hmmmmm. B. the "attend" is the one that will get us as well, we aren't really into events, it would be nice to have an alternative to that.
  3. Wow! Cool coin, congrats to all who have found/gotten one. We will keep trekkin' the woods of Northern Michigan hoping to find one!!
  4. We haven't found a road or 2 track that our Jeep Liberty can't handle!
  5. Congrats to you, that is one really cool coin!
  6. Some will go try to find it in the daytime, no big deal they just miss out on the true adventure. Don't let the few that will do it that way stand in your way of making a night cache, many people really enjoy them!
  7. I do believe that Europe is a far better place for trackables to travel. We released "Corky" TB11BCM in Toscana, Italy in May of 2007, it moved around Austria until Feb. 08 when it then moved to the Czech Republic, it has been steadily moving around there ever since.
  8. It is exciting when they make it back home isn't it! One of ours just made it back as well, here is its story- Jack Frost made it home!! We released Jack in Mazatlan in Feb. 2007. He has traveled 14,645.4 miles. After being left in Mexico he made a huge leap to the Yukon and then made another big trip to Alabama. He traveled the south for awhile and was then lost in late 2007- early 2008. He got back in the game only to be lost again in 2009, reappearing in 2013. In Aug. 2013 he made it to Michigan, about 180 miles from home only to be grabbed and taken to Florida! Finally this November he showed up 85 miles from home, close enough for us to grab him on our way home from visiting family for Christmas. I was a little afraid to open the cache he was (supposed to be) in, afraid someone might have picked him up already, but there he was safe and sound! Jack is now resting at home while we debate what to do with him. Travel Bugs do take strange routes, people don't always care what their missions are, they will disappear, they might just pop back up.....they are a fun part of the game!
  9. Congrats to you! That is one waaaay cool coin

  11. We would love to play if you still have room for more!
  12. That is an amazing story!! Geocaching can bring some great things into your life for sure!
  13. What a great story! We have one that has almost made it home, it is about 85 miles away. We are hoping we can grab it on a Christmas trip to our daughters next week. It was released December 31 2006 and has traveled 14,645 miles. I just hope it is still in the cache next week!
  14. A BIG Thank you to the mystery coiner! Nestled in with the bills in my mailbox was this delightful shiny coin, it put a big 'ol smile on my face on this cold and snowy day!
  15. That is a really neat coin, I hadn't seen that one before....thanks!
  16. Wow! What a great surprise for you! That is a very nice coin.
  17. I still come here to get updates in the geocaching community....I don't do facebook.
  18. I'm thinking we'll pass on that one....
  19. No for us as well. We have several caches that haven't been found for a year, 2 that haven't been found in 2 years. They are in place and ready to be found. We have found that a lot of cachers don't want too much of a hike in the woods, that is what we put out!
  20. I don't think a cardboard box is a very good idea. How about a multi that a salt shaker could be a first stop with cords for the final.
  21. I took a look at your placed caches, sorry but I'm with the reviewer on this one as well. I got confused just reading some of those of yours , we would put stuff like that on our ignore list.
  22. I'm not sure about the camo'ed moose, kinda looks like he has moss growing on him!
