COINTEST OVER: GeoResolutions

[+tokencollector]

It's tempting to break this into 6 posts !

 

Goal 1 will be tough if I don't hit goal 6 as well.

 

1) Reach 3000 geocaches

2) Release 500th geocoin into wild

3) Hide more of the caches that are sitting around in my workshop (mostly ammo cans and unusual containers)

4) Find 100th cache in SC (so I’ll have 100+ in each state bordering NC)

5) Find a cache in a state that I haven’t cached in previously

6) Keep up with caching when my son heads off to college (could be the toughest – I’ll miss my caching buddy)

I resolve to attend my first event.

[+GATOULIS]

I hope this year to make my geocoins 100 (hmm... I do not think I can do it, but you never know!!)!

How far do you have to go?? Remember one more is on the way!!

Well, I do not know, but I do not have many! I haven't counted them but I have less than 40 for sure!!!

 

I also hope this year to release my first travel bugs, and to find the old version of TB's to keep it in my collection! I have seen the older version recently! they look a lot like the military ID tags for the neck!!!

[+Team CeDo]

I resolve to do more CITO! we do alot already but usually on our own not with planed events.

[+GATOULIS]

I hope to make new geocachers here in Rhodes!!! Unfortunatelly none seems to be interested!!! Some even laugh at me when....

[+Team Black-Cat]

My first geo-resolution would be to keep caching fun. There have been a couple of times during the past year when something or someone ticked me off and caching wasn't fun any more. After taking a step back I realized that the only way that can happen is if I let it happen.

There are too many places I haven't seen and too many people I haven't met to let a couple of minor irritants overshadow things.

[acadiahiker]

I'd like to increase my cache finds to 200. Of course, I said that last year, but with the price of gas, an old car and now, great distances to travel for new cache finds, that didn't happen, so I'm looking for a modest 39 new cache finds this year.

[+GATOULIS]

Ok, now something I really need to do in the new year! To keep the fun in geocaching, and to keep the fun in my sister and my brother in law! they are new married (they were married on October 26th!), so they may not have enough time...

 

Since my brother in law is the driver and the GPS keeper....

 

Ok, Ok..... if I become an unckle soon....I will not care! I can go geocaching alone or....

Aw come on... go all out and make it 40!

Wow, with a location called Mount Desert Island, it sounds like getting home is a 5/5.

I just Googled some pics and it just became a place I would really like to get to see in person some time.

Happy Holidays!

[+fairyhoney]

In 2009, I resolve to find a "true" night cache.

[+surteb]

I resolve to not complain about looking for micros in the woods. No one has to make me look for them, right?

[+SandyDuff]

Win a COINTEST! ;-)

 

Place enough caches (and good ones) to get my area 'on the map'

Finish the Delorme VA challenge.

Hook a bunch more muggle friends into the game!

Double my 'cached in states' total.

 

Oh this is fun ... I am sure there are more.

 

Oh yes - create a 'signature' log - like leaving a poem or quote AND a 'signature' cache 'dropping'.

Take a picture of every TB and Cache I do.

[+surteb]

I resolve to spend less time on the Geocoin Forums! LOL!

[57chevy]

I've been such a slacker, I am going to resolve to actually get out and do some more caching, and to incorporate benchmark hunting into my caching activities.

[+Team CeDo]

I resolve to completely STOP wearing sandals Geocaching!!!!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!!

[+Mar-elendili]

Good Georesolution #2 : design my own Geocoin

[+Carbon Hunter]

I resolve to do far more caches with my sons

and to UP the number of Earthcaches around AFRICA and the MIDDLE EAST where I travel for business.

 

Following on from the start I made in South Africa.

[ELTADA]

One of my resolutions is to make more time for geocaching and try to get out twice a month.

[+A Mitt]

Next year I would like to cache more often and make use of that ammo box I picked up at a yard sale!

[+surteb]

I resolve to activate and release more coins.

[+SgtMikal]

I have started a series of caches to promote benchmarking, as well as pay homage to Seinfeld. I have only placed 2 caches in this series thus far, but have gotten some great feedback. In the next year, I hope to expand the series even further.

 

NOTE...if anyone is interested in looking at these caches, search for the keyword "Yadda Yadda Yadda". The are in south-central PA (so far).

[+Team Fehling]

Being a fairly new geocacher -- I started in June 2008. Already I have almost 200 caches found. So, my goal this year would be:

 

In Geocaching:

 

To Reach 500 caches

To add 3 more states to my map

To hide 20 caches for the year

To mint my very first geocoin

 

In Life:

 

To be healthy and happy

 

What more can you ask for???

Originally I had a goal of hitting 100 finds in 2008, but when I passed that a few months ago, I upped my goal to 200 by the end of 2008. Unfortunately, my husband fell ill for several months and we didn't make it out caching for nearly 2 months and our 200 finds goal no longer seems possible.

 

For 2009, I resolve to reach 500 finds while adding 5 states to my map and 50 hides (currently have 6) and get my rapidly growing coin collection organized in a nice book rather than the tupperware it is currently housed in.

 

Thanks for the cointest!

[+The Walkabouts]

Log three more states in the "Cache Across America" series

[+Team CeDo]

I resolve to try and complete the Florida challenge (find one in every county).

[+ECplus3]

My georesolutions (in no particular order) are:

 

1) Reach 500 finds (currently at 308)

2) Finally place the 6 ammo cans I've been saving for a cache series for almost 6 months now.

3) Reach at least the 4/4 level of the Well Rounded Cacher matrix

4) Place more diabolical puzzle caches

5) Mint a personal coin

6) Mint at least one other coin (besides the one already in the works)

7) Knock off at least 2 more of the First Post series before more are archived

8) Start buying food for my family instead of geocoins

[Penguin#1]

I want to do a better job of logging caches I find, I usually forget to log them.

[+Astro_D]

In 2009, two goals, one somewhat related to geocaching, the other definitely related to geocaching...

 

A. I resolve to report my qualifying gc.com benchmark finds to the NGS.

 

B. I resolve to do more caching with friends. Especially the ones I haven't cached with in a long while.

[+hollora]

Oh my Gosh - folks are making lists......well, I could do that too!

 

1. My kids would like me to resolve to no longer cache in my Crocks!

2. My Geofriends I cache with would like me to resolve not to fall down so much!

3. My hubby would like me to stop buying so many geocoins!

4. I would like to keep up my momentum and reach 2000 caches!

5. Caching in Alaska on a cruise with my hubby, best HS buddy and her SO would be another great goal.

6. Last but not least to go on some memorable geocaching treks and/or attend events with my children and grandchild.

 

Cache on - cache happy folks! Happy New Year!

[+Carbon Hunter]

To use alternative transport fpr caching at least once to find a cache!!!! This was just a test drive (and we are living in the desert now)!

 

 

[+Mar-elendili]

We'd like to meet more local cachers. It's not a resolution per se, since it does not depend solely on us... there's not many events here. Maybe we should host one, but having never attended one...

 

Another thing I could do is lurk less here and post more!

[+The Walkabouts]

To hide at least two Earth caches

[+Papa EGTH]

In 2009:

 

I would like to reach the 1,000 find mark.

Host my first Geocaching event

Place the 3 unfinished caches I am working on (none are your normal hide)

Release 5 coins in the wild (it is not easy to let go of shiny things)

[+usyoopers]

We resolve to take more time to post pictures with the logs on TB's/geocoins we help in their travels.

[+LadyBee4T]

Another resolution--I would like to trade more and buy less. Is that possible? LOL

[+millieballon]

To make a real geocaching related balloon!

[+SgtMikal]

In 2009, I resolve to allow my 7-year-old geocaching partner make more of the finds all by himself. See my profile for a pic of me with Jr Mikal #1. Jr Mikal #2 is only 5 months old, so he is not quite ready yet.

[+mfamilee]

We resolve to try & find our first multi-stage cache.

[+tokencollector]

I resolve to completely STOP wearing sandals Geocaching!!!!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!!

 

There must be a story there somewhere. Greenbriars, snow and sand spurs have been an occasional nuisance, but I would hate to give up my sandles when caching!

 

Edited to add:

 

Wait a minute, I can use this as an entry.

 

I resolve to contune wearing my Tevas whenever I can while caching!

Edited December 17, 2008 by tokencollector

[+usyoopers]

We resolve to get more TB's and geocoins traveling!

[+The Walkabouts]

To be more particular with the geocoins I purchase, need to save money somehow..............

[+BrierPatch]

2009 Goals

 

I would like to have a minimum of five coin designs made into coins. Of these designs I would like to see (3) New concepts of coin construction actually introduced and produced into a coin.

 

I would like to release at least (1) coin per month into the field.

I would like to reach 500 finds before the end of summer.

[+Mar-elendili]

Oh yes, one more!

I resolve to get over a personal irritation towards two FTF-hounds skimming all new caches around

[+surteb]

Oh yes, one more!

I resolve to get over a personal irritation towards two FTF-hounds skimming all new caches around

 

I resolve to get more FTFs!

[+usyoopers]

We resolve to place some winter friendly caches....real soon!

[8ball9ball]

I resolve to add 4 virtual caches to my finds this year, since I have 0 now I figure that may be very attainable.

[+mfamilee]

In 2009 we resolve to eat less... cache more.
