If you are willing to help please let me know. (e-mail The Travel Express) I will place all volunteers in a hat and pull out (25) winners. The winners will be given a free Travel Express geocoin that will be entered into the race. The winners will receive (2) random geocoins in the mail and need to promise to place them in caches near their home. Entrees will be accepted through Sunday, Nov. 21 - 9:00 PM Texas time. Various prizes will be given to the winners of the race. The Geocoin is “The Travel Express” from the Geocoinshop.de Coin description from activation page: This Geocoin was chosen to participate in our event “Geocoins from around the World and Travel Bug Adventures” GC2HH6R. At this event we will display the original “Travel Bug Express Train” and pictures of all the Travel Bugs that have rode on it. The express train picks up it’s passengers at the “The Travel Bug Train Station” in Abilene, Texas and helps them with their missions. At the event attendee’s and friends will be given (25) of these coins. The other (25) will be given to geocachers that are willing to place (2) of these coins in caches in their area. Your part is to help move these coins around the world. Rules: (also see The Travel Express profile) • Place the Geocoin in fairly active caches • Try not to hold the Geocoin more than 2 weeks • Keep this fun for all and thanks for helping Have a great day GaryM53 Conductor of the "Travel Bug Express" Edited January 28, 2011 by Eartha Quote Link to comment

Moving travelers is one of my favorite things about geocaching. Your event will go a long way towards educating cachers on what to do with trackables. Thanks, again! Quote Link to comment
