+NW_history_buff Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 All, I visited Seattle over the holidays and took some time to visit Groundspeak's HQ, home of Geocaching.com and Waymarking.com. I got to talking with one of the employees about my Waymarking addiction this past year and she suddenly disappeared and returned with TWO of the founding fathers of Waymarking, Brian and Nate! I had a great conversation with them and while discussing everything Waymarking, Brian disappeared and then came back with a Waymarking TB! A rare one at that. Only a few were made and I'm one of the lucky few who got one! I thought I'd share my story and if any of you happen to be in Seattle, be sure to check out Groundspeak's HQ and sign their geocache logbook. You might get lucky and score a chat with Brian or Nate as I did! Happy Waymarking! Doug thebeav69 Quote Link to comment

+Max and 99 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Very cool. I have one of those coins, but I was sworn to secrecy and cannot divulge any information on how I obtained it. I will say this, though: only the top .00001% of CONTROL's highest ranking agents have earned this very special coin! Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hey! They've never given me a Waymarking coin! *jealous* Quote Link to comment
+silverquill Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yea, jealous is right! But, it was cool enough to meet Nate, Sean and Brian! Great guys who are enthusiastic about Waymarking!! Now, I have another reason to meet the beaver guy! Hope to be out there in late April to early May. Quote Link to comment
+lumbricus Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) We have two Sean gave one to me and one to my wife. The coins are great! By the way, let's create a coin for the 500,000th waymark this summer!!! Edited February 2, 2013 by lumbricus Quote Link to comment
GT.US Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I have two, one is sitting on my desk as we speak. I promised to mail one to another waymarker years ago, and never seem to have the coin the address and an envelope together at the same time. Quote Link to comment

By the way, let's create a coin for the 500,000th waymark this summer!!! I think that is a worthy project! I'm certainly willing to contribute. How can we organize this? Come to think of it, CoinsAndPins (Aaron Weed) has be active in Waymarking, so maybe he could give us a hand. Edited February 7, 2013 by silverquill Quote Link to comment

I'll just send you my address . . . . Quote Link to comment

Perhaps Groundspeak will help us, too? 500,000 is a great milestone!!! -lumbricus Quote Link to comment
