+Team2Moo Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Evening fellow Geocachers, Recently I created 2 hiking sticks, sanded, stained, etc...they look really great. My wife and I also recently returned from a trip to the New England area, in which we visited Mt. Washington, and the (Former) Man in the Mountain. While researching the ways to properly create a good hiking stick, I came across the topic of hiking stick medallions (which i ordered two of: http://www.hikeamerica.com/Catalog/pennsylvania.html#PA-2) I like the idea of badges representing the special places we have visited / hiked through. My question is has anyone seen hiking stick medallions for geocache milestones? Id love to get a 200th find medallion for my stick, since we are creeping closer and closer to that goal! Thanks for the feedback. (PS, I have no affiliation with Hike America, just really liked their products.) Quote Link to comment
+badger10 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 When I was stationed in Germany (a long time ago) I used to do a lot of volksmarchs. It's kind of like a local fun run but you walk instead. You got a neat looking medal or a walking stick medallion celebrating that particular march. I would check some of the european geocaching websites and see if they have them. I just saw a geocaching walking stick emblem that I am thinking of getting. If you do find them could you let me know so I can get some too. Quote Link to comment
+Manville Possum Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I know that shop Groundspeak sells the trackable hiking stick emblem. I have a hiking stick with 6 Trail/Park emblems. Now I want the trackable one. Quote Link to comment
+Pedagog Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Walking stick badges are popular in the UK, or atleast a lot of places sell them. Quote Link to comment

+speakers-corner Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Most towns in Germany have walking stick medallions as souvenirs but I havent seen one for Geocaching. Would love to have one though. Quote Link to comment
+ThatGeekGuy Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I ordered one of the Geocaching trackable hiking stick medallions recently, it's quite nice. I have an unfinished piece of downed wood that I use as a hiking stick that I am going to sand/seal/finish, it's the perfect diameter for the medallion. Quote Link to comment
+dorqie Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 the only geocaching related medallion i've seen besides the trackable one with the square logo, is one with the canadian cacher logo on it. Can't remember if it's trackable. Quote Link to comment
+dorqie Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 these guys are local to me, but they ship will ship products. www.landsharkz.ca (link also found on the Groundspeak shop) They do custom work, they might be able to help you out with the medallions you are looking for. Quote Link to comment
+Team2Moo Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Thanks for the replies. If i come across anything like what im after ill be sure to post it here. The geocaching trackable medallion is next on my list, but i just got laid off, so it'll have to wait. ill keep this thread alive if my research turns anything up! Quote Link to comment
