Anyone have one or more of these coins to sell or trade?
Taking a few boyscouts to the island this summer, and after completing the earthcache, virtual cache, and soon to be released geocaching merit badge would like to have one or more of these as a memory of the trip.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I was out ysterday here in Michigan. Found 3 caches as STF.
Temps were +5, well below zero with the wind howling like it was.

Santa brought me a new 60 CSX - what a guy. I am planning on a boy scout trip to Isle Royale this summer (can't wait to log the earth cache there). My question is, I want the topo maps for the unit. I have the choice of a plug in chip, or the dvd for my computer. I also want to be able to log our entire trip as a trail and store it on a memory card (I have alot of wants, I know). 50 miles over 8 days of trails - will that fit in the unit memory, or do I need a storage card? My initial thought is to get the DVD of the national parks and just download the topo info of Isle royal to the memory chip, and use the rest for trail storage?
Any suggestions? also, whats the largest chip the unit will take?

Backpacking with the Boy scouts never leaves too much free time. One thing I have implemented that I have grown to enjoy is a group meeting around the fire before bed. We call it rose petals, buds, and thorns. I make each person in turn think of one thing that they really enjoyed/liked (petal), something that was ok/needs improvement(buds), and something that did no go well and needs to be improved(thorns). It is amazing some of the stuff they come up with. Aside from that, I am always teaching them to enjoy the moment to just decompress - wildlife, HITO, cacheing, the night skies, ...etc - its the journey and not the destination.
