+Cheesy pigs Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) On September 30th 2001, the first ever trackable geocoin was let loose by Moun10bike to travel the world. I wonder if he realised that he was starting something HUGE! People all over the world are now firmly addicted to Geocoins, and their cousins the GeoTags and PathTags. This Mission is to celebrate the 7th Anniversary of Geocoins, and the pleasure/pain/poverty they bring into our lives. The Mission: * You must be willing to mail a minimum of two unactivated geocoins to one participant * You must be a registered user in these Forums. * You must provide your FULL NAME AND ADDRESS to receive a mission from another participant. * Geocoin Packages must be mailed no later than 1 week prior to mission day. * You must report your received status in this thread! To Participate: Email me at cheesypigs@gmail.com with the following information: 1. Geocaching Name 2. FULL NAME & ADDRESS 3. Let me know if you are willing to ship outside of your Country. You will receive an email from me with Your own Secret Mission. Please go the distance. If you participate, please do your part to make this a fun experience. Decorating your package to match the mission can be a lot of fun too! YOU MAY PARTICIPATE IN MORE THAN ONE MISSION IF YOU LIKE! **Sorry, Participants names cannot be reserved.** **PLEASE report the Following in this Thread on your Progress** 1. Participating 2. Received Name 3. Mission Complete 4. Package Received! Please email me by Saturday 14th September if you wish to participate! I will send names out Sunday. Please send mission so it is received by September 30th. International mailings may need to be sent at least 1 week prior if using Air Mail.

+Cheesy pigs Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 Well this one is going to be a nice tiny little mission compared to last year! Quote Link to comment
+Solan109 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Well this one is going to be a nice tiny little mission compared to last year! Maybe the sign-up time is a bit on the short side? Quote Link to comment
+Cheesy pigs Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 Probably - but then it was far too long last time. I think the Halloween Mision running at the same time effects it. My own silly fault of course!! Maybe next year it will be just right (I'm hoping averages will even it all out). Actually what is happening in Texas right now is making everything seem a little frivolous Quote Link to comment

Package Received! - YES, today I got a Happy Caching Horseshoe Coin, a Happy Caching Toadstool coin (both in antique silver which is my favorite for this series!), a cache container complete with pen and a self-made logbook, a tupperware-keyring and two tools to peel oranges! Thanks a lot Tschakko, and thanks for the nice conversation! This was really funny, I just had packed the mission and wanted to mail it out tomorrow as the doorbell rang and he was outside with my mission. As we both requested missions inside Europe / Germany we found out that we were assigned to each other and so we could exchange missions personally (Tschakko currently works in my town) Quote Link to comment

Not really... we were on the same event a few months ago, but haven't talked there (that was before Tschakko joined here, and there were so many people that you just couldn't talk with everyone who was there I still met people while caching or on other events and they tell me "I have met you on that event" and I just can't remember because there were so many people around ) Quote Link to comment
