+Fiery Searcher Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Inspired by Shilo's 2009 thread, but edited to reflect 2011: Just about 5 years ago, kealia started a thread for us to track the distance traveled of our coins released in 2006. 3 years ago, chaosmanor started the 2007 edition, Shilo revived threads for 2008 and 2009, and Penny and Kona tried to keep the momentum for 2010. Seems like it's time to do the same for geocoins released in 2011. No prizes, just a little ego-boost and some bragging rights The same rules apply as from kealia's thread; they were pretty good then, so I'm quoting Shilo quoting kealia verbatim, with only the year info, the thing about "bolding" and Rule #6 added: Simple guidelines for listing your coin here: 1) List recent coins only (released this year: 2011 only) 2) No more than 2 coins per geocacher (so one person doesn't monopolize the page) 3) List the release date and mileage 4) When you add yours, just copy the list and insert your coin a) sort by mileage with the most at the top feel free to BOLD your coins so that we all can see them easily 5) Rinse and repeat 6) BTW: Personal tracking coins (those kept by the owner as a record of caches found) are not eligible. We're looking for coins that you have let go and no longer have any real control over. The main idea here is to have fun! Quote Link to comment

+aka Momster Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 My two best 2011-released travelers were purchased in an avroair grab bag. I don't delete previous logs, so they are disqualified from your list. But if I had cleaned their history before sending them out, my two best releases would be: Momster's Sheridan Cnty., Kansas GC Launched May 1, 2011 6874.51 miles Currently active and traveling in Austria. Momster's European Union Geocoin #1202 Also launched May 1. 8392.21 miles Currently active and traveling in the Czech Republic. After reviewing my lists, I realize that many of my trackables sent out in 2011 were copy or returned TBs, and unactivated GC drops. Plans are to thin my collection by releasing more coins this year. Maybe I should activate more dropped coins to end up with a better entry in the 2012 edition? Quote Link to comment
