Hi Everyone, I know there hasn't been much talk on this forum of WestCan 1, the first Western Canadian Mega Event held this last weekend in Three Hills, Alberta but I just gotta share....

What a BAD time we had :lol:!! There were many awesome satellite events planned for us including a geocaching canoe trip, Hutterite colony tour (ending with pie!), tours of the badlands and of course a Geocoin event hosted by TethysC and C-side girl.

Saturday for me was a HUGE day! It started out with Jeremy joining us at our breakfast table....and ending with a group night cache episode....BEYOND FUN! In between we watched the town parade, bought a new GPS at an amazing deal, did the new Canadian GPS maze, my first Wherigo, and collected 11 ICONS in one day. Definitely a record for me!

 

The geocoin event was really a highlite for me. I have never been to any GCF or anything but I think now I may have a taste of how hectic it may be. I maybe got a third of my coins onto two tables before I was bombarded with people asking all sorts of questions. It was crazy and fun at the same time! I met so many people and was in my element talking about my passion to others even if some of them thought I was nuts.

 

At the end of the night as I was packing up...there was a flashy new coin on my table that I hadn't put there at the beginning of the evening! A Wizard mystery coin! Thanks mystery person...this coin was definitely on my list of dream coins. I love cartooney type and bold colours of this design.

So...some pictures you say? YOU BET!!!

 

And I do have some BAD event coins and BAD Geocoin Event coins for trade :laughing:
