+Roman! Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) With the discussion of how souvenirs have been cheapened why not add some value. Post your favourite souvenir with a story of why it is your favourite. Last July I attended the Island Spirit mega and racked up some 500 caches during my week there but while logging them I misslogged one and ended up with the California souvenir but have never found a cache there. When I got back to Vancouver I still had a week off and one night I woke up at 3 am and couldn't fall asleep so I went and rented a car and drove to the nearest California cache to my house. I also stopped by the Original Stash Tribute Plaque and made it to California and back in 28 hours. Edited August 3, 2013 by Roman! Quote Link to comment
+ShaunEM Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Definitely my favorite. I only managed to get one actual geocache at the event. But they were throwing candy in the street and my son and I had a great time at the GPS adventure maze. Shaun Edit: I can't spell. Edited August 3, 2013 by ShaunEM Quote Link to comment

I went to your same mega and got the Texas souvenir, but never emailed a lackey to have it removed because I knew I had a reasonable chance to get Texas the next year and did so. My favorite one is the Ape Cache one. Quote Link to comment

My favorite one is the Ape Cache one. I did to but I had it removed, a bit too far to drive. I was going to get the APE one for my 500th cache before it got archived, had it all planned then changed my plans to attend the first APE event.....DOH! Edited August 3, 2013 by Roman!

Pup Patrol Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 With the discussion of how souvenirs have been cheapened why not add some value. Post your favourite souvenir with a story of why it is your favourite. I think that showing off the actual souvenir, rather than the generic thumbnail, would be more interesting: B.

+Viajero Perdido Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Just a few of the places where I've attempted FTF hunts, and (in the case of the last one), a state where I met some great local cachers who took me for a surprise road trip / FTF hunt. Or did you mean just from the existing list? I've met some great cachers in: And simply because I live here, I've found most of the memorable caches close to home: Quote Link to comment

There are many people that don't know there is a larger souvenir so great idea. Quote Link to comment
+CanadianRockies Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Here's my favorite: Actually, since I don't care about souvenirs one way or the other, all mine have equal value to me. I show the Kansas souvenir because it demonstrates this point well. I, too, received it for logging (and then deleting) an incorrect cache. I just couldn't be bothered to ask Groundspeak to remove the erroneous souvenir I ended up with as a result. Quote Link to comment

But I beg to differ, this Kansas souvenir is more special to you because it sums up your feelings towards souvenirs. Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Here's mine: It represents my first visit and first found cache in Africa and it's one of the nicest looking souvenirs as well. Then there is this one: That is the artwork GS created for a Souvenir for Ethiopia. It's on the Geocaching.com Flickr Page. It was not officially released when almost all of the souvenirs on the Flickr page were released for the 2,000,000th published cache promotion. It would probably be pretty rare even if it was released. Quote Link to comment

And I thought it was going to be for the 9th of 17 throwdown caches that have been called Mingo over the years. If you delete the log, the souvenir stays? Quote Link to comment
+Wintz50 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The last remaining ape cache souviner for Brazil is my favorite. Oh wait, no souvenir for that one :-( I'll take my home state of WV then. Quote Link to comment
+SwineFlew Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 If you delete the log, the souvenir stays? Yes Quote Link to comment
+FunnyNose Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Here's mine: I'll be getting that one next February. My favorite souvenir is: Uluru is a place I've always wanted to go to. Edited August 4, 2013 by FunnyNose Quote Link to comment
+terratin Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I quite like this one because I know that landscape so well. Never found a cache there though... Spain and Texas might be nicer looking, but this is special for me. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Tough to narrow it to one. I'll give you my top five. I wish the one for Iceland was based on the landscape, not the sagas. Kind of like how I wish Alabama wasn't listing to the west. Edited August 4, 2013 by hzoi Quote Link to comment
+cheech gang Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'm so excited, I wanted to show off my new favorite souvenir! Quote Link to comment
