+Eric K Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I was thinking of releasing a Geocoin with a Bandycam that will travel via postal mail only. You could log it is a discovery or dip it in a cache if you take it with you. The way it would work is I would make the first log on the coin and take the first picture and then send it to another person via postal mail. That person would do the same and so on and so forth until the camera is full and then upload the pictures. Sound interesting or would it cause any kind of problems? Quote
+Butterfly_lady Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Bandycam is not a term heard here b4. I assume a disposable camera?? Subject to moisture problems. Limited in travel. But a good idea. Personalises the trip. Quote

Personalises the trip. Yes it is a disposable camera. I'm thinking if it's sent from person to person via mail instead via cache it should hold up. Quote
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 sounds good to us............great idea......... Quote
+The Finding Irish 4 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 We have found Cameras in Caches and like the idea... Took the pictures and dropeed it back in to see the pictures posted later. Count us in if you get this started. Quote
+TeamEccs21 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Sounds like fun we will play. Couple of questions... Does the camera get sent back to you when it is full? Does the cacher who takes the last pic do the uploading? Who replaces the camera after it fills up? Quote

+Eric K Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Cool! I'll get one or two sent out this weekend. The way it will work is I'll send it to someone, then they can come in here and post some notes and then they'll send it on to someone else, etc, etc. I'll keep you guys posted! Thanks, Eric Quote

+Team CeDo Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Sounds like a very cool idea!!! would love to participate!!! Quote
haysonics Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Interesting idea. A cheap memory chip like those 32meg ones included with digital cameras would also do the trick. Bet there are many who have them sitting in a drawer at home. Stick it in your camera, take a pic, take it out, post it on. Quote
+ECplus3 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Sounds like a great idea! You could even include a digital minicam -- there's one on amazon.com for $4 right now (camera). That way pics could be uploaded immediately. No film processing, no camera replacement, pics uploaded at every step of the journey. Quote
+Eric K Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 Coin and camera have been activated! Here is a link to the coin. Tag You are it Geocoin The first person doesn't know it's coming. :-) Once you get the coin and camera please come back in and update this thread. Have fun! Thanks, Eric Quote

+Eric K Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 No one really knows who will be in or out. (Not really a good term) The way it works is I sent it to Person A. Once they have it, they send it to whomever they feel like sending it to and so on and so on. Quote
