Tomorrow 50 more will be headed to Groundspeak HQ to be dropped in the cache there. Anyone heading over to visit the HQ please grab one and take it far and wide. Geocoins are designed to travel. Let's get them out of the dark lonely binders and let them do what they were designed to do.

 

I'll be responding to more of the emails tomorrow morning. The count at this time is 350 out this calendar year......forget 400.....new goal 600!!!!!!!!!!

I see someone from the UK beat us, but would still be willing to release for you. Will also be in Rome in April, Spain in June or Scotland in August if you want any dropped there and are willing to wait.

Even more help!!! Awesome. I'll try and get some out to all posts that I can today. This (if my numbers are correct) will be 500. I hope I don't miss anyone that has posted...it'll take a bit of time and thanks for all the help.

We're heading to Cancun and various island ports in July. We can help out with the western Carribean, if you are interested in a tropical drop.

 

The heck with the coins, take me!!!

I can drop in North Western Illinios and North Eastern Iowa if you are interested. Later this summer I will also be making a trip to Kansas if you don't have any going there.

Hi Jim, i can drop some coins for you here in southern Germany. I live between Munic and Stuttgart and cache around in the southern Germany, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. The Einstein´s City of Birth - Ulm - is about 50 km from where we live.

I can drop some around for you too if you want --- in the eastern panhandle of WV, central VA or MD.

And, if you're not in any hurry -- this summer I could most likely drop some in Arkansas or Maine and Nova Scotia, Canada. Some other trip abroad will be in there too, but I haven't decided where I'm going to go yet . . .

Now, if there's anyone who would like to help drop some of these in let's say (Iceland, Greenland, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Russia, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, France, UK, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, and any other place in the USA not really close to me that I can't immediately get to please post here not my email please and I'll try to get some for you to drop). I'd really like to see more coins travel instead of just disappearing into binders or into some unknown abyss.

 

Who wants to join in?

 

Is Texas far enough? I could take some to the Texas Challenge, our annual contest, and from there get them all over the state. Let me know! :)

 

Happy Trails,

Candy

I can release some in the NC / VA / SC area anytime. In late March, I should be traveling in VT, NH, MA, and ME. I can't offer to move a ton of geocoins, but I can drop some in the areas mentioned above.

Whew!!

 

Big postal bill today. Put over 500 out to travel today. 50 will be at Groundspeak HQ by Tuesday. Anyone headed there grab one and drop it far and wide.

 

I'll be taking 50 to British Columbia and Seattle myself in June and 50 more to Ontario, Canada in September. I'll be checking my numbers this weekend and anyone who has not received an email back confirming a package sent I will see if I have some to send to those who posted here.

 

I'll also be taking 350 to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Lumembourg, Italy, France and possible Czech Republic next April (4 week caching trip). At that point I'd like to have a cool 1000 out traveling.

It is great to see that you are activating and releasing your geocoins into the wild. I think that is a great thing to do. It is something that should be done. The emails you will get back when people discover your coins in caches will bring more joy to you on a daily basis than anything you would ever get from a collection on a shelf. Even lugging those things to events is tiresome. No one has the time or the enthusiasm to look at every one. It is much better to send them off into geocachingland. Yeah, a few get lost and maybe stolen, but in the long run the majority do travel and get discovered and bring joy to many others. I love finding a geocoin in a cache and I love leaving one even more. More of us should do this. Thanks for your actions. You are really giving back to the community by doing this. :blink:

I have seen a few posts lately from people selling off their activated collections. My collection is also so huge I cannot take it anywhere without major injury to my back. So, instead of selling them so someone else can fill a binder and leave it in a closet I am going to release 400+ this year into the wild. I have already sent over 100 into caches all over the world. 300 to go......or more.

 

Now, if there's anyone who would like to help drop some of these in let's say (Iceland, Greenland, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Russia, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, France, UK, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, and any other place in the USA not really close to me that I can't immediately get to please post here not my email please and I'll try to get some for you to drop). I'd really like to see more coins travel instead of just disappearing into binders or into some unknown abyss.

 

Who wants to join in?

 

EDIT: Added USA too. I need more traveling here far from California

 

I'm new to these forums but not to the coins and caching. You recently moved one of my coins and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. I love your coins and watch for new ones from you all the time. I get into some very cool spots in Utah (when the weather permits) I would be glad to drop some coins for you if you would like.

I will be visiting these forums more often now that I have some idea how to work them.

 

I'm glad to have spoken with you.

 

Thanks,

 

Stinkyju
