+seekerfamily Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Our coin was recently moved in Mass. It was last seen in Colorado two months ago. Nice that is was picked up even if it wasn't logged. Quote

The first person to pick mine up dropped it in a cache from where it went missing (check out the logs between December and February.) Quote

+Team kizb Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 We're sitting in a solid 3rd, to bad ours hasn't moved since 19Feb. Quote
+J the Goat Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Sigh.... I was one of the last coins to actually get going, and now my coin has seen a total of 2 caches. A total of 4 miles and some change. Anybody from KY going on a flight around the world anytime soon? Quote
+goosefraba1 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Mine has been moving steadily.... I think it's almost on the first page.... Not bad considering it was 2 months to start moving Quote
+MinnesotaBen Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 MinnesotaBen will be entering the race very soon. Well I'm not sure what kind of railroad tracks they have in Texas, but GaryM53 sure found me a good station to get started as the last coin in the race! I had been stockpiling coal all winter once the cointest started, but my train wasn't built until March 13th. But once it was placed, I headed out of town on quite the scenic tour. I had no idea that tracks from Texas run to Florida... then to the Bahamas... then to Mississippi... and finally ending in Alabama some 2000+ miles later! That was quite the scenic tour! (and took me from last to 18th place! ) Looks like I'll rest for a bit and restock my coal supply. But hopefully not too long... it was no fun being the caboose! Ill wait for you pal! You don't have to wait anymore! Quote
+Ashallond Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Mine parked in a cache, and hasn't moved in a long time. Quote
+Mauison Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 My coin was picked up over three months ago so I just sent the cacher a reminder email. Quote
+burgessfour Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Mine was stalled for a little bit, but is back on the move now! Quote
eseurat Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 My little train still has 0 miles It was picked-up over two months ago and it looks like this person doesn't get out very often. I guess it's time for a friendly reminder. Quote
+MinnesotaBen Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Do we get bonus mileage for helping out a fellow competitor who is beating us? Or do I just start a train collection for 2012 of all the trains in front of me? Quote
+Ashallond Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Actually after doing a quick search, I found out my coin was muggled and has gone missing. Looks like I was one if not the first one out of the race. Quote
+mamoreb Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Actually after doing a quick search, I found out my coin was muggled and has gone missing. Looks like I was one if not the first one out of the race. Nope, I won that contest. I beat you to it by one day. Quote

Looks like I was one if not the first one out of the race. Nope, I won that contest. I beat you to it by one day. Marie your coin was stollen???? After 9808 miles? I guess I don't know for sure. Someone confirmed dropping the coin (Feb 27th), the next finder (March 12th) confirmed that the coin was not there. Well, perhaps the train started rolling by itself... I guess that's bad karma, after someone logged my train into a suspicious-looking cache in Germany and then back to USA! Anyway, I checked the dates more carefully, and Ashallond's could have gone missing anywhere between Feb 3rd and March 19th. Shall we call it a tie? In the other race I've entered, my TB moved a grand total of 0 miles before getting lost in someone's pockets! Now I'm counting on my Heifer cows to make up for my bad luck so far... Quote
+ice13-333 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Well my TE was dropped into an unpublished cache on 03/29 - race seemed to be over at the moment for this coin and me..... Quote
+Ashallond Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I have the worst luck with released coins. I have a bunch that are trying to reach me, none of them have made it..the one that got close got taken by a newer cacher who quit. the only coin I have that moves a lot is a coin taht i sent to Europe. beyond that....yeah. Quote
+seekerfamily Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 We have moved a whopping 21 miles. Actually it is now at 146 miles. We felt bad seeing that it was only at 21 miles as we placed it in a new cache figuring it would be picked up quickly and moved. We were going to pick it up but now it is on the other side of Florida. Quote
eseurat Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Woooooohooooo!!! My little train finally pulled into another station, and gathered some miles Quote
+fuzziebear3 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Mine hasn't moved for a while. The cache has had some traffic, and although no one said as much, I bet it isn't there anymore Quote
+J the Goat Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Still only seen two cachers and two caches that are 4.31 miles apart Oh well, at least it looks like it's still (kind of) in circulation Quote
+goosefraba1 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 After traveling across the country to Arizona, my coin is 1 spot form the first page! Quote
+DonB Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 My coin was grabbed by a new cacher April 13th and he's still holding it. I hope he drops it somewhere soon. Quote
+GaryM53 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 I have just returned from Canada and was pleased to find the Doubloons had arrived from Japan! Thanks Jackelgirl! One of the (2) Doubloons is a Travel Express geocoin. The battle we had for last place in getting started was between MinnesotaBen and EyeD10T. I need them to send thier addresses to me so I can send them a Travel Express coin. More prizes to come! Good luck everyone! Quote
+MinnesotaBen Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 The battle we had for last place in getting started was between MinnesotaBen and EyeD10T. I need them to send their addresses to me so I can send them a Travel Express coin. Message sent. Thank you again for your generosity. Update on the last two to start... MinnesotaBen: 2385 Miles and still traveling (currently 24th of 75) EyeD10T: 427 Miles and appears to be missing. I hope it shows up soon!! Quote

+usyoopers Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Fabulous News!! Florida was just not doing it for us, must just be to hot to cache there. We have been picked up and moved to Virginia...yahoo, 1200 miles for us now!! Hopefully we will continue moving.... Quote
+EyeD10T Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 <sigh> I just got a note that mine was marked missing from the cache it was in. Who knows - it may pop up sometime in the future...I still have hope Quote

+DonB Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 What happens in a case like this? My coin was in GC2G3HB and was taken by someone who didn't log it out. Today it was grabbed out of GC1M28N which it was never logged into. There is 323 miles between the two caches, so am I out of luck or is there a way I can claim the 323 miles? Quote

Nothing wrong with Florida (excpet hurricanes, heat, bugs...)- as it gets colder up north we cache more down here in the warmer weather Quote
