+Jan and the Percey Boys Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I collected geocoins and produced a few a while back and have had a break for a while. One of the things I miss is the friendliness of the community and the odd things people put in the packages - be it a hug card or a sea shell off of their local beach. Pictures of their fave caches I have had loads and treasure them. I see that a lot of people aren't just swapping ( I still have 3 metals of non trackable Chester coins and a few lightbulbs ) but missions seem to be the order of the day. I have done sunshine and chocolate and wonder if there is interest in another the rules are simple really the coin must be accompanied by a posdtcard of where you are from - or nearby if you live in the "Boonies", or the "Sticks" and a souvenir which best sums up your area. It could be anything no limits Anybody think this is a good idea? I'll look back later to see if there is any interest I am suggesting the 1st of may as the cut off point for application Normal rules Name Caching and actual Address - Email and actual to my profile if you wish to limit to certain Geographic areas let me know also Bob Quote Link to comment
ljay Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'm up for a postcard mission. i'll send a postcard of my favourite place in Scotland. The Chocolate mission was only my second, i felt a little bad when i recieved my Wege Mission which had loads of things in it as all i had sent was the coins. I am now doing research for my birthday mission. E-mail Sent Quote Link to comment

I wish I could go to Scotland right now! I have been reading the family history report my uncle did in college about 20 yrs ago about my family on my father's side and found out that our family came from Scotland. They went from Scotland to Ireland and then to the US. What we call here in the U.S. Scots Irish but I consider them actually Scottish since that is where they originated. Anyway, to get back on subject. I think this would be a great mission so count us in. Can't wait to get started Quote Link to comment

+Steinwälzer Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hmmm, the City where I live is famous for making washing mashines and for nothing else I guess sending a washing mashine is a little heavy (but might come as a practical thing, our washing mashine is just breaking down and needs repair a new one in a bubble mailer would be a great thing ) Anyway, a great idea! When is the deadline for this mission? I am going on a holiday shortly... Quote Link to comment

The shops were as quiet as much as the buses were crowded. Luckily I live at the start of the bus route, so guaranteed a seat. Bring on the mission - all set to go! Quote Link to comment
