+Kealia Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Nice concept - so it's not limited to people who have completed the cache (or is there an alternate version for those people)? 40,000 miles....really? Wow Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Nice concept - so it's not limited to people who have completed the cache (or is there an alternate version for those people)? No, we are doing an LE for the first 5 to complete the challenge. The non-LEs are open to the public. We offered this on the Texas boards first, then posted here this afternoon. The cache being commemorated is awesome! I think it would be so amazing to be able to complete this cache. Texas has many varied terrains. You can cache in the desert, then in an hour or so, be in the Hill country, then along the coast! I love Texas! Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hmmm, I thought Texas was flat. Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hmmm, I thought Texas was flat. We don't have cars either. We ride horses where ever we go! LOL We do have a lot of flat areas. We also have the Hill Country, which is around Austin. It is beautiful there! We have the Piney Woods, we have beaches, we have desert, we have huge urban areas. And a lot of cows! This cache is the highest point in Texas. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...f1-e53268bbf072 It isn't a 14er, but puts a nice set of lines on the topo!

Team Macha Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Just a hint Mustang Joni You may want to block out the tracking number on your picture, unless its just a sample number. But it doesn't look like it. Just thought I would help... Quote Link to comment

+Mama Cache Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hmmm, I thought Texas was flat. Go for nice long bike ride around here, and soon discover it is not as flat as you thought! Kudo's to California, for making trails flat. Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Okay, lets have a little "cointest" LOL Winner gets their choice of a gold or nickel Texas County Challenge coin. Let's play "Name the Cowboys New Head Coach" The Dallas Cowboys will be announcing a new head coach any day now. The first person to name him, wins their choice Texas County Challenge coins. One guess per person. The first guess with the right answer wins. One guess per person! Any guesses until it is announced are good. Quote Link to comment

Let's play "Name the Cowboys New Head Coach" Unfortunately, it's been awhile since I've lived in the "unofficial" part of east Texas, so I don't get to hear any Cowboys gossip. I guess I'll go with Wade Phillips because Wikipedia says he might get wish. Quote Link to comment

+MustangJoni Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well, I think this is all done, except the "official" announcement. I hear there should be a press conference today to make the announcement. I thought this might last a few days, as they interviewed someone yesterday! I'm going to try to think of another one for tonight. Quote Link to comment

+txoilgas Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hmmm, I thought Texas was flat. Texas is fairly level is some places BUT in the Big Bend area you have this. I should have turned back here but I did not. The Good News, this is one of my finds for the Texas County Challenge A very sad story about a FTF turned into a STF Check the story at Panther Canyon Abode Quote Link to comment

+MustangJoni Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Congrats Red Otter and Cinema Boxers. These should be shipped on the 21st! I haven't heard from POS yet? Also, for those outside the US, we are only charging the domestic rate! What a bargain! Quote Link to comment

+HiDude_98 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Is there an update on when http://www.trackabletreasures.com/ will be back up and online. I have been trying to get my activation code for the past week, but the site has been down. Coins indeed look great! Thanks, -HiDude_98 Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) The site is up. Sorry, we had a little problem with our web host. Edited March 26, 2007 by MustangJoni Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) We are down to 15 nickel coins left! I'm sending some to an event this weekend, and I'm betting there will be no more left after that! Edit to add: We may make more available later, because I've held a few in case there were any shipping issues. Edited March 26, 2007 by MustangJoni Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Looks like they are very close to awarding a FTF on the cache that this coin commemorates! Txoilgas, who is a great cacher and friend, logged a cache in his 254th county yesterday. He estimates that he drove 15,000 miles (so our estimate of 40,000 was a little off, we were just guessing anyway!) The cache owner will do a little verification, and give TOG the coordinates to the final. Then it will be a done deal! This is quite an accomplishment! Kudos to TOG! Quote Link to comment
