+Flatouts Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Orlando Gets my vote, just got back from NW so one in Fla sounds good to me. I couldn't afford to fly my coins if it were held anywhere else...LOL Quote Link to comment
+Los Muertos Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 For the Europe Coinfest is Cologne, Germany the best choice. There are many Countries around with many,many Geocoinfans. Germany is placed in the middle of Europe and every Geocoinfan can come easily to this Mega Event. I would love to attend this 1st Geocoinfest - Europe in Cologne. So now - lets the party started in Germany Quote Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Well I'm thinking it should be in Montana that way it's expensive for just about everyone to attend Plus everyone can go caching in blizzard conditions, how often do most people get to do that in Sept/Oct? Everyone can head over to the "tsun ranch" and we can make nutella smores over the campfire. I know, this post was totally useless I just felt the need to write something today. Maybe one of these days, I'll throw my hat in the ring for this shindig, then I'll know I truly lost the last of the few marbles I had left I think that nutella smores sounds heavenly!!

+woejam Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 A Geocoin mega event in Europe, that really sounds great! If it is going to be in Cologne, it should be possible for us to join. Marly Verberne Geocachingshop.nl Quote Link to comment

So now - lets the party started in Germany C'mon! we got the sun PL I am happingly following the posts, but will be on vacation from tomorrow on. Our team is becoming bigger and bigger. We are all very exciting about how how you all decide. Of course I like to see Portugal, but maybe another time. I really like to see all the applications later on. Los Muertos is totally right by saying we here in cologne are really in the middle, and cologne is so easy to reach and we are working on a location right in the middle. Here are loads of nice and fancy places to visit, sightseeing, caching and lots more. Just imagine a boat trip on the great scenery of the river Rhine, etc. It might be possible that I even can arrange something for my US-friends to get a fair package trip from the US. My brother (in US) has contacts to travel agencies and I will try to get something worked out if it is possible for him. (this is just a loud thought) Of course nutella barbecue in Montana with tSun would be fun, too. l.o.l. Well, to all of you a great summer Quote Link to comment

+flcop400 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I would like the cheat sheet too. I am thinking the Space Coast Geocachers could move inland slightly and host in Orlando, FL. I am sure we could get plenty of help from our regional friends around the state to bring this to the Mouse House. Everyone knows there is plenty to in Orlando with all the theme parks. Plenty of hotels, cheap flights into the international airport and great weather that time of year. Might be worth a shot. Dale, I've been putting together a team and proposal to have it in the Panhandle as it seems unanswered airport issues was our downfall last year. However this year our new international airport is open! Rather than work against one another, maybe we can work together to have GCF brought anywhere in Florida. I'll email you privately later tonight after work.... JB, Sounds good. If you already have something in place let us know what we can do. We are will to support in whatever fashion you need. I'll be looking for your email. The Space Coast of Florida would be great!!! We have everything here, airport, beaches, the Space Center, close to Orlando and Disney!!!! Wickham Park in Melbourne has the pavillion and lots of cool caches in the park already!!!! Sorry, I am new to this and get excited easily!!! Quote Link to comment

+wolfslady Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 It would be nice to see a Mega Event come southeast a bit. GW7 was Southeast last year. Thank you for pointing that out. I know there have been mega event's in the southeast but not nearly as many as there have been up north. I understand why but at least once year it would be nice to have something a bit closer to home. Dallas would have been great for us (we didn't discover geocaching until this year) but a long trip from S. FL. Well everything outside of FL besides GA is a long trip for S. FL I guess what I really meant is it would be nice if there was a least 1 Mega Event each year that was within a day's drive of most geocachers. I get that it's not going to happen right now, but it's fun to dream of. Quote Link to comment

+GeocoinGuy Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Portland has submitted a bid ~ There were 2 videos and a written plan for the event submitted.

It's worth watching and is uniquely Portland! ~J Quote Link to comment
