+Butterfly_lady Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Sorry folks, For those waiting on the final round of missions to be allocated, a delay due to a rather hetic time. Hubby had a severe allergic reaction, and we've been a bit busy as a result... A few more days, maybe a week and all will be back on track. Quote Link to comment

+Butterfly_lady Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Here in New Zealand today - yes both in one day - I came across two coins in this mission. One travelling to bluecherry - that should get to you fast. It's on a tour soon. And one going to Tasmania, new owner CinemaBoxers. How cool is that???? Thanks everyone - I never thought that I would see any of your travelling coins. What a thrill it was to see those. In fact I now have TB26T2E in my caching kit. Cool !!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment

That was a brilliant surprise this morning, because I honestly thought that it must have gotten lost somewhere enroute.........well it's a lot nearer to Scotland now so I'm keeping everything crossed here!! Just in case it makes it over here I've had to update the details of the cache that it's mission is to head to........because that one of ours got muggled recently and we are just in the process of getting it's replacement sorted out. So the it's new cache destination is our cache "Logie Cache & Dash" GC1C9RK. Edited November 19, 2008 by Geo-Gophers Quote Link to comment

Participant 2- TB2DYHD is coming to us from the Netherlands, it has traveled 89.2 miles. It is currently still in the Netherlands. Maybe they have both seen what Northern Michigan winters are like and are waiting to get closer for our summer. Quote Link to comment

Latest update: 1. hasn't stared yet, traveled 0km Has anyone any news from Taubin, not at GC since 3. Dec.? Not answering emails... 2. in Hessian, 85.4km from home, traveled 8232.4km, which is incorrect, as the last logs didn't add correctly. 3. gone missing in United Kingdom, 828.9km from home, traveled 192km 4.

+Kiwi Nomad Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Well I didn't want to think about this mission for ages as the one that I sent out went missing from an event straight after it got picked up! I placed it near state highway 1 in a traditional so as it would be picked up quickly. It wasn't, after a month of not moving I was about to move it when it was picked up and taken about 800kms north to an event. In to which it dissapeared with out a trave.... That is untill about 10 months later and it was found in the car of the person who took it to the event!!! Oh I am so glad that the first coin I ever traded is on the move again!!! Hopefully it will have faster travels from now on. As to the coin that is on the way to me, well it was coming from Sweden and has travelled so far to Rhode Island east coast USA. So I am still hopefull that it will arrive at some stage. Thanks for orgainising this mission. Quote Link to comment
+ElliPirelli Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 As I say, some really mysterious things happen with our travellers... This is great news! I love those stories about coins! Especially with a good ending. (So far for now....) Quote Link to comment
+nefesh Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 This sounds like a fun mission. Tha Saint and I are doing this together. It'd be fun to try it again. Also to have someone organize the mileage and location of all the coins. Like the PGR, but they're not racing. Quote Link to comment
+clupea Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The first and only cacher to retrieve my coin (TB26J90) grabbed it nearly 9 months ago and has yet to move it. The last 5 emails I've sent him (5/9/09, 5/27/09, 06/25/09, 07/13/09 and 07/22/09) have gone unanswered. He caches infrequently, but was out on 07/01/09 and dropped some trackables he's been holding on to for many moons - but not mine. I've tried to be patient with him, but I'm at my rope's end. My last email asked simply, "IS THERE ANY REASON I SHOULD NOT REGARD THIS COIN AS STOLEN?!". No answer. I'm about to change the name of the coin to STOLEN BY ARNMAKER Quote Link to comment
