+lyonden_ut Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 After a week on the road, I just had time to check to see who has been visiet. Glad to see some friends were visited.. (GBOTS and LD). Congrats to all. Haha Dennis! I was thinking the same thing! Guess I didn't give him enough hugs at the event Move over Snoopy, I'm now in the Dog House... I can't event get out of of the state before I find out that the pot is being stired. (and can you ever get enough huggs?) Okay, OFFICALLY I would like to say Congrats to all the lucky cachers I KNOW, those I Don't KNOW and again to thank the Great Geo-Pumpkin for visiting me. Hope I can get a few more states from home before I stir the pot somemore. Look out I-80 caches, here I come... Quote Link to comment

+cainrcc Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 WooHoo I found a Great Pumpkin coin at the Halloween Comes Twice, Spooky South Park CITO event GC16BTW. I was so upset that I missed the one that was left in a local cache last week and figured I would not get one for my collection after that. What better place for a Pumpkin coin than a Halloween event THANKYOU VERY MUCH ! ! Great Geo-Pumpkin Quote Link to comment

+Dr Horrible Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Talk about great luck! I found one in a cache in Kimball, NE. It had been there for four days, which is amazing since it's a TB Hostel along Interstate 80! Quote Link to comment
Cydriver Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 There are hundreds of sincere pumpkin patches in Iowa! And even a cache named for the Great Pumpkin..... Quote Link to comment
+Rockin Roddy Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Oh GREAT PUMPKIN, how you inspire me! You're generousity is such that I just can't get over it. The joy you spread among those lucky recipients and finders is amazing! If ever you find yourself in my neck of the Pumpkin patch, please do let me know, I'd love to give you a tour of the area and possibly stop off for some lunch!! You deserve to be pampered a bit after all your wonderous work! This offer is also sent out to CCC and the Geocoin Fairy (and all you other mystery coiners...wouldn't want to leave anyone out here), you are all great examples of how this community cares for each other. I often say this forum is much like a HUGE family, sure we have differences...but we all can come together and show our warmth when needed!! I feel blessed to be able to call you all FAMILY!! Congrats to all those lucky people, I hope the joy you have received is as great as my joy of reading of your finds! One of these days..... Quote Link to comment

+keewee Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Even though Halloween is past I still have joy to spread, so please be patient if you have not yet received a coin. I may be on my way to a cache near you tonight. In fact I have many cache internationally to visit but with all the rules and restriction about fruit and food traveling it has taken me some time to visit Europe and other countries, but rest assured I am getting my agriculture approvals and will soon take flight. I am so glad that everyone loves the coin and I love to see all the great pictures it almost brings a pumpkin seed tear to my triangle eyes. Now get out to those most sincere pumpkin patches and you might just see a glimpse of me as I pass from cache to cache. I believe, I truely believe. Are you still planning some international travel?

+Rockin Roddy Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 We hosted a M&G event today, had plenty of great friends around us to talk with! I was blessed by some great gifts from some very special friends, many beautiful new coins! I came home just happy as could be, found 2 packages had come in the mail as well and really knew today was a great day indeed! I wasn't even ready for what happened next though! As I start to pull out all the coins from the event so I could list them on the forums, my hand comes upon a papery feeling. Strange, I don't recall anything paper being put in there...my eyes widen and my jaw dropped! In my hand was an orange, yellow and black bag with PUMPKINS on it? WOW! My hands were shaking as I opened the package carefully so as not to rip it, out pops coin # 191-07!!! Not only do I believe, but I am now one of the very lucky!! THANK-YOU Great Geo-Pumpkin! You didn't give me the opportunity to treat you to a meal, you just treated me instead!! What a trick to put that there w/o me seeing it done!! Quote Link to comment

+luckycharmer Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 We were out caching today and cut through one park that had about 50 smashed pumpkins near the bottom of a hill. Somebody had fun but our trail went right through the middle of them. No Great Pumpkin Coin though. I hope none of those smashed pumpkins was the THE ONE WE ALL HOPE TO GET A VISIT FROM.

Rod, thats because you are a very special person here in Michigan, so most people attending the event threw a bunch of coins together for you, we just had to help out. : I know how bad I would feel if my geocoin collection along with GPSr and other caching stuff were stolen. Heck I didn't even know about the current Great Pumpkin geocoin until I read this thread, I' ve been out of coin buying/trading for so long. I wish I could of seen it before we had left. I still love the geocoins, just to busy and too broke. LOL. The only Mystery geocoin in my collection of the first 600+ geocoins minted is the first Mystery Santa coin. I will always cherish that one. Gary Team CoyChev Roseville & Paris, MI Edited November 18, 2007 by Team CoyChev Quote Link to comment

TokyoBlossom Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) Eep, I now regret the Pumpkin Pound Cake I ate over the Thanksgiving holiday.
