Although I'm still waiting for my last mission to arrive, wishing everyone a very happy new year, and thank you for participating. I know that Claire, Kelly, and I hit the podcast trail this year to try and make it the best Mission Year Ever. That mission was accomplished, if we could only have gotten the various postal services to help us out. I'm still looking forward to the surprising day when a package arrives with my name on it and NOT from Amazon :-) I know that the mission I sent in late November is still on its way! When I traded path tags with a person in this country it took about 6 weeks to arrive. Just be patient and remember... All good things come to those that wait! Thank you all!!!

Someone in Michigan created a Geocaching Trivia Wherigo. The first question is a stumper. It asks, "What is the name of Michigan's first Geocache?" I know how to find the currently active, oldest cache in the state, but how do I find the oldest ever in a state? Since the cache is most likely archived now, it's not readily searchable. Thanks for any ideas here.

I learned that my gift had indeed arrived before Christmas. Whew! I thought the US Postal Service would let me down this year. Not so!

The date it actually arrived, but I didn't see the post correctly to know. I received a gift: Still short this one, and I don't know where it's coming from.

An interesting year indeed! All three of my missions have been sent. Same day, same Post Office. Two arrived early (US based), one I haven't heard from (International). I messaged my third mission to let him know it's on the way. This is the earliest I've sent them, and the latest they've arrived. I've received two mission in return. One from the US and one from Sweden. That one arrived on the 22nd, so just in time. Yeah customs! Thank you to everyone that participated! Merry Christmas to all and a Very Happy New Year!!!

You do have to be careful the words you use for customs. They don't think of coins the way we do. I used medallion on my packages. You could also say "metal disc" and cover it as well. Good luck!

I'm in! I'll do three missions this year. Thanks for hosting once again.
