I wrote a novel of useful stuff in the email. Hopefully our missionhost will pass it on.

If not, here is some info. I keep the coins and the kids get the stuff. I collect animalshaped coins and food/ beveageshaped coins. I treasure all coins gifted to me, no matter what shape or design. I even treasure those "fake geocoins" or what to call them.

Thanks again, let the waiting begin.

Yes she did and i got her Boyfriend to sign up now.

Heck i went to walmart and grabbed a few things for our missions.

Last weekend at GCF i found as many Christmas coins as i could as well.

Looks like the River Family is ready for some names so we can get to work on some special prizes.

I think i am worse then the kids on this mission. Is It Time Yet????????

Would love to join in... Could you explain abit more of what you are to be sending or more on how this works

Thanks Joy

wee be team

It is a gift exchange.

The required items are:

1 Unactivated Trackable Geocoin

1 Small gift

and a Card

often people include more than one coin or more stuff, but it is not required.

If you want to be involved, i need the following information:

Caching name

Real Name

Postal Address

and are you willing to mail your package to someone outside of the USA?

you can look back through the forums to see what people received in previous missions.

This is the link to the thread from last year.
