  1. Virginia currently has three CITO events planned for April 14th!!!! One is mine...
  2. Got mine in the mail today...They are cool!!! Also, cool that Miss Jenn has given me credit for the idea. I feel so special!!!
  3. HOORAY!!!! Just bought some!!! They are cute, now to look for tshirt and other swag...
  4. Perhaps the Ohio people have cabin fever??? That's more events than I've ever seen posted in one state. Way to Go!
  5. Congrats Pepper. Saw your new coin in the store this AM.
  6. I was fortunate to have previously met the contact person I need to inquire with. He knew about geocaching and the caches in his "park." He didnt' know about CITO, so when I emailed him I explained it, included the links to the CITO site etc. I don't know about where you are, but our parks and recs people are really excited about groups asking to help clean up the parks. Just be as honest and informative as you can when contacting the person. Perhaps you could arrange to meet with them and show them some geocaches if they are unaware of what it is. Good luck! Jen
  7. busy busy busy - pretty day on the east coast so i'd imagine alot of folks are just getting and logging stuff.
  8. Why does it say sold out already??????????? One of these days I'll read everything before I make stupid posts...
  9. Of the top of my head? The Compass Rose (all three that I have)... EU (it was my 2nd geocoin)... Nero (both versions) Dorkfish (both versions) Yemon YIME DNF and Found it coins I have so many and so many are special to me because of the person who traded with me!!!! I hope no one feels slighted by not being mentioned. Those are just some that I can think of easily.
  10. We've got Woodstock on our side of the world though!!!
  11. He's about as far from the coast of VA as one can get without leaving the state! Check the number of caches nearest him though! Alto
  12. I think Alto's trying to say that he wants to have a Mega Coin event on the east coast. I don't think he intends to charge an admission fee. The cacher in question has hosted or co-hosted several events in his area, so he knows what to do. I'd support an event of this type on the East Coast even though I'm not actively purchasing coins - I'd still like to see what others have in their collections etc. Good luck with this Alto...
  13. No problems from USA Geocoins in the past - always prompt and accurate replies. I thought I add this to the conversation since it started off so negatively.
  14. Here's mine... Mill Mountain CITO Although the turnout looks low right now, I'm hopeful that more people will sign up as it gets closer.
  15. No thanks, while I love Geocaching, I feel like Virginia has too many specialty plates now. No offense intended.
  16. I'll second that motion...wait I know both of these people....and have cached with both.... LOL robert - long time, no
  17. "prolly" the best forum threads i've seen in a while.
  18. Have you ever noticed that if there are a lot of events on one day that states later in the alphabet never show up on the homepage??? What's wrong with states started with the letter V... I happen to like it here in Virginia! Maybe a scrolling event bar would work?? I know very little about webpages so I don't know how difficult this would be.
  19. Okay, I whipped this up. What do you think? LOVE IT!!!
  20. Please don't get black shirts.... As an owner of a white dog, I hate black clothes as a rule because they become black with white fur!! I like Signal drivng the truck... very cute.
  21. A few replies to HH... I chose to leave GCC for personal reasons as well as in light of this thread. I don't make it a habit to use businesses that have wronged me and/or others. I never said it was ok for them to make as many as they wanted, nor do I think what has transpired with Anthus is right. Please don't put words in my mouth. I simply asked a question.
  22. I wish this thread would disappear. I think that it is an issue between the parties that dealt with the Geocoin Store. Leaving it up is just adding fuel to the fire and turning cachers against one another. I think the point has been made that there were "unauthorized/unknown" coins out there and the explanatioin is not coming at least not to this forum. Perhaps if everyone who has an issue would take a deep breath and calmly write the Geocoin Store more would be accomplished. (Yea I know they don't reply to email very quickly.) Here's another idea, if you're still in the Geocoin Club, cancel your subscriptioin (I did for this and other reasons). Also, don't shop there, don't buy another Signal coin or anything else they produce. This is the third or fourth issue to come to light about the Geocoin Store. Let me refresh your memories; Sales of coins when coins were rare and there wasn't a coin for everything....(woo that was a nightmare F5. F5, F5) Slow Shipping, lost coins... Slow Customer Service (email etc)... The Jan 06 (I think it was) Signal coin... Here's a question I have, were the coins in question (Anthus and HH, etc) produced as part of their "subsidized coin plan" - remember that, where they would help pick up the cost for making your coin, do the distribution etc??? I live by Buyer Beware, but Lord knows I've gotten ripped off before..... Good luck to all and perhaps FSM or Earth will kill this thread today...
