+-Ruby- Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Hello, I would like to know if there's a souvenir in process for the 10th anniversary of Earthcaches. If so, I'd ike to know some info, how to get them, etc. Thanks for your help!
+GEO WALKER Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Hello, I would like to know if there's a souvenir in process for the 10th anniversary of Earthcaches. If so, I'd ike to know some info, how to get them, etc. Thanks for your help! Given the missed opportunities of the past, I seriously doubt it..
+GeoawareGSA1 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 As of now, there is no souvenir. However, it is an option being explored, but for now, I'd say don't plan on it. If one does happen to come about, we'll post about it in here and elsewhere. Best wishes, Matt

I think it is at least as important as all the souvenirs created for last august... I propose to use the image of the geocoin as souvenir, that would be easier for you.
+lookingUPward Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Earthcaching is an important part of the geocaching experience! How about a souvenir for all those who attend an Earthcaching Event and/or 'find' an earthcache?
+Dr.MORO Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Domo!!! Planning to have a mini-event on this day. I really hope Groundspeak awards all those who cerebrate the EarthCache 10th Birthday with a nice special souvenir. Really. PLEASE?
+cerberus1 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 10 years of Earthcaches don't deserve a souvenir? Then I don't understand... I think it is at least as important as all the souvenirs created for last august... I normally don't care one way or the other, but this made sense to me. My other 2/3rds cares enough about the things that we didn't cache the entire month. Learning experience, approved by a team separate from Groundspeak to retain some manner of consistency and lasted ten years when quite a few other cache-types didn't. Sure, why not?
+ranger170 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Seriously? We get a souvenir for everyday of August for some meaningless milestone(?) and something as important as a Tenth Anniversary rates "I'll think about it?". Power to the People. Start emailing, Twitter, Facebook, and phoning Groundspeak to let them know we ain't happy and Christmas vacation is no excuse. Act now.
+4CeasonS Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I think the 10th Anniversary of Geocaching definitely deserves a souvenir! If people attend events dedicated for the occasion or "find" an earthcache on that date, it's a fairly big deal. GSA has been an amazing supporter of hosts of events on that day, sending prizes and support materials! I think this milestone is much more deserving than "go find a cache today" souvenirs.
+mainiac1957 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Really, no souvenir.....Wow Groundspeak picks some odd ones to give them to, and misses the boat on others.
+hollora Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Really, no souvenir.....Wow Groundspeak picks some odd ones to give them to, and misses the boat on others. Have to agree with Mainiac1957 - the anniversary of a great program like Earthcaching is very deserving of a souvenir - much more so than just going out and grabbing a cache a day or a few other things which have been memorialized (IMHO)!
+AutisticMajor Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Guess I'm not the only one with the winter blahs. Who knew it went all the way to the top?
Neos2 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) I wish there could be a souvenir as well. If only it were possible! A word of advice here folks: It's fine to chime in with agreement and to voice your enthusiasm for some sort of recognition for the wonderful milestone, but please be careful to adhere to the forum guidelines. I really don't want to shut this thread down. Edited December 22, 2013 by Neos2
+mrcanoehead224 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 I too would like to see a special souvenir for this special anniversary. Thanks for your consideration.
+Dr.MORO Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Domo again! Event description ready, and waiting a bit longer for any good to news to add. I really hope 'they' up there are not sitting on the final decision whether or not to award a Souvenir during this holiday break. PLEASE, Groundspeak! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! BTW, I read the email sent from earthcache@geosociety.org about this EarthCache 10th Birthday, and they mentioned also about the special EarthCache 10th Birthday Coin and Tag. I still cannot seem to find them neither at Landsharkz and Shop Geocaching. Anyone know where and when can we purchase these? I need to fetch a few for myself, AND for the EarthCache 10th Birthday Event cache raffle. Thanks, ~ Dr.MORO Edited December 22, 2013 by Dr.MORO
+Traditional Bill Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I'm in agreement with the rest of the crowd.....this milestone deserves to be honored with a souvenir.
+Calypso62 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Here's a thought.... Why don't you all book a trip to Australia and come to the special event to mark the 10th Anniversary? I will be there!! The weather is perfect over here at this time of year. Long, sunny days... beautiful beaches.... great geocaching!! It's summer down under!!! http://coord.info/GC4MHPN
+c1nn4m0n Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Agreed, this is a commemoration of important caching history deserving of a souvenir. We understand the holidays can be a stressful and busy time so we hope there is a chance on this! Thanks!

Unfortunately, due to limitation of resources, we'll celebrate in the dead cold Winter up here. http://coord.info/GC4VMMZ Happy Holidays!
+de jonge prinsen Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 We also support the wish for a souvenir. We'll celebrate this special day with an Event on Januar 10, and would like to have a Coin there as well. Where did you find this coin Dr.MORO?

Anyone up there listening? Anyways, de jonge prinsen, found it with help from fellow cacher foragess here. EarthCache 10th Birthday Geocoin and Tag Set - 5 (five) pack
+Dr.MORO Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Domo again!!! A new post in the "The Geocaching Blog" 10th Anniversary of the EarthCache Well, at least there does seem to be a bit of festivity brewing UP there. Great sign, I guess. Just still nothing definitive about the souvenir yet... PLEASE...? [Post-edit: Typos...] Edited December 30, 2013 by Dr.MORO
+God of Caching Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 C'mon...whip something together and send that bad boy out to everyone that logs an attend on an event or logs an earthcache for that day!!
+Calypso62 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 If a souvenir is awarded for attending an event to celebrate the 10 year anniversary, and I hope it is, could it also include events that are held on Saturday, 11th January? I am part of Geocaching NSW, the group that is organising the event (GC4MHPN) at the actual Earthcache site itself on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. Because of the distance from Sydney and surrounds, holding an event on Friday, 10th would mean that few cachers would be able to travel to the event location. By holding it on the Saturday, more people can attend. It would be a shame to miss out on the souvenir because our event was held on the Saturday instead of the Friday. Fingers crossed!
+Dr.MORO Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Domo again!!! Happy New Year 2014!!! And Happy 10th Birthday EarthCache!!! Groundspeak, any decision on the Souvenir yet? PLEASE...?!
BlueRajah Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 As of now, there is no souvenir. ... If one does happen to come about, we'll post about it in here and elsewhere. A few of us tried to contact various people at Groundspeak about a souvenir and there has been no change from this post that GeoawareHQ posted a while ago. Don't count on it at this time. Sorry
+Dr.MORO Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Domo again. Sadly, seems like it's a "No Go" decision by Groundspeak... 10th Anniversary of the EarthCache - The Geocaching Blog Within the comment section below, Eric Schudiske replies to my post: "... Unfortunately there's no souvenir this time around." Boooooooo
+de jonge prinsen Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Well, it's a pity we will have to tell our 26 event-attendees this sad stupid news. It's a shame. Domo again.

BlueRajah Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) I just had a request to have this thread locked. As the answer was given. Hope everyone has fun at your events, or goes out caching that today or this weekend. Edited January 10, 2014 by BlueRajah
