+Big JohnP Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 The two last people who picked up your Maryland coin are from Quebec City. They belong to our Quebec Geocachers Group. Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 I love Quebec City! I spent a few weeks south of the city with an old girlfriend and stayed at the Chateau L. (we then went to Rimouski -- quite the event for an anglo such as myslelf!) Please thank your crew for moving the coin -- Quebec has been VERY good with several of my Travel Bugs. I'll be in Montreal on Nov. 14th and will make sure to sprinkle some of my personal coins (geobones) in caches I am able to visit. Quote Link to comment
+Big JohnP Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I live just North of Montreal. Next week, I'm going on a trip for a few weeks. I hope I get a chance to find one of your coins when I get back to make it travel around the province. Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 The ones I leave in caches are gifts for you to keep! The ones to travel I place tags onto. Quote Link to comment
+Big JohnP Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Now I know I may have to shorten my trip. There are priorities, you know.... Quote Link to comment
+nielsenc Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 (edited) I have a NJ coin that went from CA to the UK. NJ Coin My personal coins should be here in two weeks and I will start putting those out to see how far they go. Edited October 22, 2005 by nielsenc Quote Link to comment
Thrasher22 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Am I missing something? I thought geocoins were trackable because they are meant to travel. And if the stated goal of the coin is to travel, why would anyone want to keep it? I thought cachers should follow the same "geo-ethics" with geocoins like they do with travel bugs.

The only thing you're missing is the dark side of human nature. If you want to kill a bunch of time, there is a lot of discussion on the topics you touched on in this very forum Quote Link to comment
+Windrose Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I thought cachers should follow the same "geo-ethics" with geocoins like they do with travel bugs. They do They steal those too. I've had several regular travel bugs stolen (some more than once). Windrose Quote Link to comment
+Fundamental Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hopefully some bones end up to Finland also someday Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hopefully some bones end up to Finland also someday I guess if any of my geobones were to end up in Finland, I'd need some cacher in Finland to send me their address and then I could send them one of my "travelling" geobones and one of my "regular" geobones (they are the same, one has a travel tag attached). They could keep the one geobone as a gift and place the travelling one into a cache for folks to discover and move along. If only there was someone in Finland that would do that.....

+Fundamental Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Actually now when you said that.. I might know one guy from Finland E-MAIL SENT!!! Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I thought cachers should follow the same "geo-ethics" with geocoins like they do with travel bugs. Yes, except that some people let what they want to do (keep the traveler) overide what they should do (pass it on). Quote Link to comment
+joefrog Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I actually found a Geowoodstock coin in a cache today, travelling! First one I've seen "in the wild." Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 I personally hope there is a new 2000 coin edition released every month. They will become so common that they will be found more frequently. Quote Link to comment
