+PennyPacker Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I had planned on leaving approximately 60 Road Trip coins behind in caches on my current 10 day road trip, but that would leave many people east of the Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa area left out. Not the end of the world, but I figured I could give them (or anyone else) a chance to get a free coin here, in the forums, without even turning on their GPS's. I'll try to have a few different contests throughout my trip, motel internet connection dependent. If you'd like a free coin, probably an Antique Silver version, be the first to correctly tell me how many caches I found today, 9-28-07. First correct answer wins, no edits allowed, one entry only. As the contests continue, no duplicate winners allowed. The prize: Go. Quote Link to comment

QuigleyJones Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Maybe he didn't log one and its 31? Quote Link to comment
+3 Bubbas Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 30 caches. That's a great day. Quote Link to comment
+chancerider Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Dang I hate dial-up.... I also counted 30.... Quote Link to comment
+3 Bubbas Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Maybe he didn't log one and its 31? Or it could be 32? Quote Link to comment
+dflye Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Maybe he didn't log one and its 31? Hmm, one log said "first of trip" another said "last of day"....so unless the middle is lacking....or the frog is slacking.... Quote Link to comment
+Steinwälzer Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Much too late with my answer, but my answer is 30, too... Quote Link to comment

+kdv Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 29 (maybe one was actually found by someone else?) Quote Link to comment
+501_Gang Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I think it's really 28, PP logged a couple that he forgot from the day before and forgot to change the date back! Quote Link to comment
+PengoFamily Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 How about an average...29 Quote Link to comment
+kdv Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Looks like it really was 30 after all. The log for Dead End Cache (GCJHCE) says "one of 30 finds today". Oh well Quote Link to comment
+dflye Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 None? You saying they were all found by the "better half"? Quote Link to comment

+keewee Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Not many numbers left to choose from that've not already been said... if 30 isn't the correct answer... let try 37 Quote Link to comment
+mrjiffy Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Dont think anyone else has guessed this yet, I will say 23. Doesnt really match up with the logs, but hoping its a trick question! MRJIFFY Quote Link to comment
+Team_DDNight Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I count 30 as well... You guys are fast. Quote Link to comment
+Frozen Buns Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) 32 opps someone already said that, guess 19 Edited September 30, 2007 by Frozen Buns Quote Link to comment
+PennyPacker Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Thirty. Busy day! This would be correct. I had hoped to slip a virtual in there to make it a tad bit tougher, but the Saloon got it the way of that. PM me your mailing address and I'll ship out your coin when I get home.

Hmmm... thanks for the idea. It really was as easy as it appeared this time. But they will get more difficult. Quote Link to comment

Oh well I threw that log in there to see if anybody would actually read the logs looking for the answer rather than going to my profile. Good catch. Quote Link to comment
+PennyPacker Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Tonights contest... tell me the name of the town that I end up spending the night in tomorrow night, September 30th. Couple of hints... if you know where we were last night, and you know we try to cover approximately 350 miles/day and I tell you that we went further than 350 today and will probably go less than 350 tomorrow, then all you need to know is it will be somewhere along I-40. The original plan was to go to Clinton, OK. I don't see that happening, I need more caches than miles now, but who knows. Same rules... no edits, one guess, one win. Quote Link to comment

+GPX Navigators Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Shamrock, TX right off I-40 with Rte. 66 running right through it. I remember driving this area years ago. Save for one town there was nothing going on there. Let us know how much it has developed over the years. Have you seen the 2007 edition of the State Farm Rand McNally Maps? They have a great history through out the map of Rte 66. It was great to read all about the historic highway as we traversed that area in June. Hope Ms. PennyPacker is feeling better!!! Safe travels.

+PennyPacker Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 All very good guesses, but it turns out we actually made it to Clinton, OK. Not that we drove straight through either... we did pick up 28 caches and left 5 coins behind. After checking-in in Clinton, I think we should have stopped in Elk City. Looks like there's no winner tonight. Quote Link to comment
