Look Twice GeoCoin


WRITE SHOP ROBERT

Recommended Posts

I would like to travel around the world spreading bike awareness. As you retrieve this coin you log it and when you drop it off in a new cache you log it. While you have me think about bike awareness, sharing the road, look twice for bikes and before you log you dropped me in a new cache, please post on my page what you did or will do to make the roads a safer place for us all.

This is part of Todie's Wild Ride, geocachers sending coins out for bike awareness. Tod Phillips a fellow geocacher was killed on his motorcycle. Have you lost a friend or loved one in an accident, have you discovered a way not to be distracted while you are driving. Share your ideas and thoughts with us by logging me.

My mission is to make it to the Grand Canyon and be photographed in front of some of the amazing scenic views and also visit some caches in the area. The Grand Canyon is more than a great chasm carved over millennia through the rocks of the Colorado Plateau. It is more than an awe-inspiring view. It is more than a pleasuring ground for those that explore the roads, hike the trails, or float the currents of the turbulent Colorado River.

 

This canyon is a gift that transcends what we experience. Its beauty and size humbles us. Its timelessness provokes a comparison to our short existence. In its vast spaces we may find solace from our hectic lives.

My mission is to go to South of the Border it is a rest stop and roadside attraction on Interstate 95 and US 301-501 near Dillon, South Carolina, so named because it is just "south of the border" – the border between the U.S. states of South Carolina and North Carolina. The rest area features not only restaurants, gas stations and a motel, but also a small amusement park, and, famously, fireworks. Its mascot is Pedro, an extravagantly stereotypical Mexican bandido. It is advertised by hundreds of billboards along surrounding highways that start 175 miles away. Well-known landmarks in the area, the irreverent signs feature Pedro, wearing a sombrero and poncho, counting down the number of miles to South of the Border.

My mission is to go to the Dutch mills of Kinderdijk, have a picture taken with me and to end up in this cache:

De Wipmolen; GCKEC7

De mills of Kinderdijk can be found here: 51°52′57″N 4°38′58″E

Kinderdijk (Childs Dyke) is situated in a polder at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands.

 

It lookes like this:

My mission is to Visit and be photographed at the Tulum Ruins.

About 80 miles from Cancún, high above the water, lies the post-Classic Mayan ruins of Tulum. Perched with a view of the Caribbean, this walled city fortress holds palace as well as fortress building ruins, set above a sandy beach. With the fascinating Maya stucco buildings and stone relief set near a sandy, deserted beach with no commercial development in sight, the ruins and their beach are a popular spot with vacationers from Cancún.

My mission is to make it to the northen most geocache in the U.S. and then travel to the eastern most cache in the U.S. and then its off to the westen most cache in the U.S. After all of that, you guessed it its off to the southern most Cache in the U.S. but not before stopping by north central Florida to have its picture taken with Team CeDo. Then its Key West bound for some relaxation on the beach.

The monument has no waypoint yet in any known directories. Waymark this point, take a picture and put it in this coins’ log and on waypoint/landmarks site.

The Following 5 Posts were drawn AT RANDOM to win adoptions. Please pick one of the adoptable Coind in my inventory, and post a note to it's page that you would like to adopt it. Keeper prizes are still to come. Thank you all.

 

So I have 10 boxes of Bicycle and Motorcycle Nomads sitting on my floor! Bad news they were all made incorrectly. A portion of the coin was not colored properly and the whole job is being remade as result. I'm waiting for an ETA from the factory but it should be about 2 weeks.

 

Not my day.

 

We'll keep ya posted!

 

Oh no ;) , I hope it was the mints fault Plus, I hope you don't have to pay to send them back.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH ALL THOSE COINS?????

 

1000 piece Candy Cane Puzzle

Camara so I can take pictures of my travels on the geobike

Lots of money for college

Root Beer bottle for my collection

New cycling socks

Candy

 

Well guess I wasn't all that good this year I didn't get anything.

Even drneal beat me he got some packages in the yard....he can keep those.

 

I guess if you think about it I did get something I got to give....

I gave to the kids, Spoke with Santa and got their wishes filled, these were not big, the

kids are good and didn't ask for much.

 

I got the Wife a new Cannon 12Meg DSLR Camera, and extra lens, maybe she will let me use it.

 

I got the Inlaws some nice gifts, as well as got my Mother some gifts.

 

I even got to fill a My Hearts Desire item.

 

But I did get a house full of friends and family, a great meal, and lots of time to reflect on how lucky I am to have what I have.

 

Oh yeah a new friend sent me a great card and coin this year that reminds me that I need to make better use of the time I have, since this is limited as well

 

So I guess I got the best gift of all, family and friends.

 

Thanks for asking

 

I hope everyones 2009 is everything they wish and more.

 

My goal is to travel to Meadville, Pennsylvania to have my photo taken at the PennDot Road Sign Sculpture Garden. Along the way, please take photos of me with any sign that promotes traffic safety.

 

My Mission would be to travel to Iraq and let the Men and Women in Iraq fighting to keep us free know that we are SUPPORTING THEM 100%.

Be Aware Of Bikes Around You!

This code, we should all be bound to.

Look where they are and where they'll be

And if you do then you will see

What you should do to keep a distance

to avoid a tragic collision for instance.

Life is a gift that we can give.

Such a fast paced time in which we live.

Slow down, and give more space.

Make the roads a better place.

So here's to Tod and Tim and Karey

And the wonderful man she was to marry.

And Motogrrl and all who've passed.

Keep this code , make it last last.

It's one we should all be bound to.

BE AWARE OF BIKES AROUND YOU !!!!!!!!

Please, post photos in your log, of very dangerous roads, crossroads etc in your area, where many accidents happen!

My mission is to get to japan and visit The Top of The Mount Geocache(GC7AA7).

 

Top of the most popular mountain in the world. The mountain has over 100,000 climbers every year.

 

This is a long difficult climb to the summit of Mount Fuji-San. A climb that is very honarable if you can reach the top. Cachers climb to the top and log the find.

 

The hike take between 4 to 6 hours to the top and about 3 to 4 down. Bring lots of water and snacks to eat on the way up. Also bring a couple thousand yen and by a hiking stick and there are little camps as you hike up the mountain. You can have them stamp your hiking stick for 200 yen each camp. Also there are places to by food on the way up. At the top you can by a flag that says Top of Mt Fuji. It is a challenging hike, but rewarding when you know that you accomplished something that difficult.

MISSIONS ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!. WE HAVE DONE IT.I count 103 missions now.

WSR, I leave you to do the recount,

Thanks for the fun.

WooHoo, I haven't even counted yet. I plan to wrap up all the other things involving these CoinsPrizes and adoptions and releases) before I start to activate these 100, so it will likely be a while. They will all probably have a generic attachmant stating that they are traveling with a Mission, but the attachment may not be specific for each coin. I'm thinking of having something made by an imprint company as I will also be releasing many more coins later. The old Laminated Cards will be just too much work. I can have hundreds of keyrings made that will function like a Travel Buddy Tag. I may even have some to share?? Thank you all for the great ideas. As I list each Mission on a Coin, I'll quote that post and give the reference number for anyone who wants to put it on a watchlist.

Well, I can't begin to describe the loss in my heart today. One of my friends was killed last night when a drunk driver turned in front of him while he was riding his motorcycle.

*sigh*

 

And to think that we met pretty much because of Tod's death! Alien88 volunteered to help man the booth with us at a festival after we found ourselves short one person.

 

I am so sorry to hear this, my friend, give me a yell if you need to talk!
