Son of Cyclops Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 We might make the close to 500 mi trip. Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 We might make the close to 500 mi trip. It says 285 for one way if that helps. Which is closer than I have to travel. Quote Link to comment
+steel city babes Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) Wow! All I can say is “wow”! Thank-you to the committee members for their time devoted to reviewing the bids, and entrusting us with this honor. I also have to say thanks to da 'Burgh crew…Pghlooking, TMOCM, Guyute1210, Anthus, Yime, and my husband. Congrats to the Burgh!!!! crew and my fellow coin nuts!

+larry739 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Pittsburgh is PERFECT!!!! Our daughter recently moved to State College so now we have another reason for a visit. Well done. Loved the movie. We will be there with all our geocoins. Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Nice! Pittsburgh is even closer for a road trip than GW5. I'll have to see if some of the other local coin addicts are up for a drive. ;D Quote Link to comment

+Degai Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Yippeee!! Way to go DD and the Pittsburgh team. If your proposal was as awesome as that video, I can certainly understand why you guys won! I know I am going to try to get there if I can talk someone into going there with me! (I still have confidence issues, ya know.) Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Congrats to the team in Pittsburgh! We hope you guys have an awesome event ! Quote Link to comment
+Nochipra Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Does everyone get to see the video? But of course! Wow, great vidoe! Yea!!! Pittsburgh, I think we will make it since we are in VA. Yea!!! Quote Link to comment
+goaliegirl38 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Congrats Pittsburgh! A bit to far for me to make the trek when I'm already road tripping to GeoWoodstock and hopefully making the trip to Rendez-vous Quebec too... maybe next year! Quote Link to comment
+DresselDragons Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Working on the bid package for Gecoinfest allowed me to look at southwestern PA from a different perspective…that of a tourist. I rediscovered places that I have not visited in years and some that I never noticed before. As the Pittsburgh team works on getting the Geocoinfest webpage up and running and event listed, here is a link to some of the area attractions, to give you an idea of what this region has to offer (it is definitely not a complete list, but is a fair representation of the area’s attractions): Click here HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

+Degai Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Do you have the dates for Gecoinfest '08? I checked out the website and so far, it looks awesome. You guys are so talented! I certainly hope to be able to attend. I have no idea what you do there or what you bring with you. Is there some place that has the history of the various Geocoinfests? Quote Link to comment
+The Amigos Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 A road trip to Pittsburgh would be a blast Not in the cards for us, though...*sniffle* Unfortunately, we won't be making the trip, either. We are saving ALL our pennies to go to Cozumel next summer to go diving, and I just don't think I can save enough pennies for both trips! I hope you all have a blast, though!! Great presentation!

+Frozen Buns Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 WOW what a video, esp. when I know how much work goes into editing and putting one together. Since the Fox-and-the-Hound and Moun10Girl are in PA, I will plan on being there. Haven't found the dates yet, maybe you can get them added to the title. Congrats to you all, I am looking forward to some good times :D Quote Link to comment
