+PengoFamily Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hey Steph. I am gonna put a couple of coins in the mail for you too. Thanks for organizing the logistics and collecting all the coins. Can't wait to see some event photos! Thanks ATC06 and everyone else involved in all areas of the military for your service! Quote Link to comment
+n8turgrl Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Back from the post office and my coins are on the way to you Tsun! Thanks for pulling this together. ATC06 (haha its funny calling you that) sit back, relax and enjoy the generosity of those of us here in the states (and else where) that want to be able to give back even just a little bit in appreciation for all that you are doing for us here at home. Honestly, its truly amazing to see EVERYONE getting involved. This just goes to show that geocaching (and the geocoin addiction) is truly a world wide hobby that brings us all together as one big family no matter where you call home! (wiping away a tear now.. I luv you guys!!) Edited March 4, 2008 by n8turgrl Quote Link to comment
+hollora Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Cache Maine, sponsor of the Maine Pirate Quest with me, emailed and wanted in too! She knows I have a stash. Went to my boxes and picked out a few for her to "shop" from, emailed her the photos and let her choose her donation. I aready knew just the right coin for me to send. So, package was packed with both coins and our cards and popped in the mail. You all stay safe over there and Cache Maine and I both are hoping for you to have a little fun with your event. You will always have some friends here in Maine! Hope you may visit when you get home. Steph - thanks for your help on this project too! Quote Link to comment

James Yes, you are going to be in coin and well wishes heaven, I can not even begin to tell you the amount of people who have written to send you all something for your event. I'm so excited and I'm not even going to be there, lol. While there are a few of you giving me credit and I thank you for the consideration, this has nothing to do with me, I just asked for help and YOU all stepped forward and for that I sincerely thank you for making this a giant success. tsun Quote Link to comment

James James, I can't wait to see the pics from the event. my caching partner angryEMT had a bug over in Iraq for a while and we watched it move, fascinated with where it went, we spied on your events and prayed for all of you. I can't tell you how horrible (scared) I felt when it went missing. I am glad to be able to do something nice like this for all of you. Tell everyone out there that we haven't forgotten them!!!

+Cache Maine Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) Okay, this is kinda backwards, but Tsun, I'm in! The coin is already on it's way in the package from Hollora....nothing like shopping her coin collection via email and picture! She takes good care of me when I have to be at work! ATC06...we are going to start planning now for your visit to New England! We can't wait! We will be watching and waiting for pictures of your event...I looked for a link on the geocaching event calendar, but didn't see it... Has the event been published yet?

+sillygirl & jrr Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) E-mail sent. Glad to help out. And since our friend Team_DDNight posted here, guess our Desert Camo coin will get to go to the event too. We very selfishly sent that coin to travel with Team_DDNight while he is deployed. Whenever he logs it into a cache or it gets discovered we know all is well over there. jrr Edited March 5, 2008 by sillygirl & jrr Quote Link to comment

Cache Maine, ATC06 and I will be meeting this Friday to put together the event page. This came up all of a sudden and we wanted to get things rolling so potential attendees would have time to put it on their schedules in order to get the time off. I started the event page, but have not submitted it yet. After ATC06 and I meet on Friday, it will be submitted to the reviewers for approval. I will then post the link here for you all to view.

I have posted pics of a few adventures, but they are on the cache page. I will post them to your coin as well so they will be listed there when someone views your coin's page. I will get to that in a few days.....(Fridays are my days off!). Thank you for your continued support and there will be a lot of discoveries on your coin and I hope to be not too busy during the event so I can take a lot of pictures for y'all.

The Hourly rate on a C-130 Hercules has got to be UNBELIEVABLE!!! (especially with the price of gas right now) What's the Status of your Paypal Account?? No Money needed.... seriously, I have flat rate boxes. It's going to be heavy but it will still be the same price no matter how much is packed in. The largest box if shipped to an APO is $10.95, so see, no worries Thanks kindly for the offer To make this a bit easier on me, I'm just going to post the names here as I receive packages so you know that your stuff arrived. I'll either post your caching id or just your first name/state, so you can rest easy knowing your package made it Thanks all and if anyone else is interested, please drop me an email by tonight, I'm going to stop taking names tonight to ensure I receive and send off everything in time to make it to Camp Victory tsun Quote Link to comment
+rsfish1 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 4 coins are leaving Indy today. Went ahead and shipped them priority mail to make sure they get there as quickly as possible. Everyone I have talked to about this collection being done, even muggles that have heard me talk about caching, think it is amazing how this community pulls together and does things like this. I just keep telling everyone how amazing the community is and how geocaching is one of the friendliest and most family oriented hobbies around. I think they are starting to understand finally. I wrote down the tracking numbers of each coin before I shipped them out. I can't wait to watch them when/if they get activated and start travelling! Quote Link to comment
+dflye Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Mailed a bunch of coins and some other goodies today, have to see how fast these flat rate boxes travel inside the US vs outside the US! Quote Link to comment
