+Capt. Jack & 1st Mate Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Anyone that bought the new Oregon geocoins placed any yet? I see that Nurse Dave & LKay kept # 001. Good for you, I would too! We plan to launch a few tomorrow in some new caches that we're placing. Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 As if Nurse Dave wasn't planning to keep #0001 anyway, we insisted on it! He did a great job coordinating this effort. One was placed in the cache we hunted when picking up the coins, but it went fast I haven't placed any yet. I spent the afternoon dragging a Ditch Witch trencher around my yard. This summer when the lawn needs watering I'll be out geocaching!!!!! BTW: The coins are awesome! Quote Link to comment
+Capt. Jack & 1st Mate Posted May 17, 2003 Author Share Posted May 17, 2003 Yeah we dropped one today at a cache where we had another cacher in tow that imediately grabbed it. It was kind of the intention anyway. More out tomorrow and (whenever the caches are approved) we will be looking forward to see where they go. We put an extra tag on the bag that says: "This new Oregon Geocoin is yours to keep as a trade item or to place in another cache and track it just like a travel bug, but please log it. Capt. Jack & 1st Mate" We bought them with the thought of a trade item but to do what the finder wishes. Should be fun to see what happens. Quote Link to comment
+bazzle Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 My coins will be placed special (read tougher to find) caches that I do. A few in some caches I put out, but mostly the 3.5+ caches and/or out of state caches that I pick up this summer. They really are COOL My mind not only wanders... Sometimes it leaves completely... **Namaste** Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Snazz Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I'll get the tracking site looking better soon, priority was to make it functional... glad to see that logs are coming in Quote Link to comment
+dasein Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 The coins sure are gorgeous! We got 20 and will be reserving them for out-of-state caches while on vacation (Missouri this fall, and maybe Nevada too), hard-to-get-to, or extra special caches. We'll always keep one in our backback for just such an occasion. We might even place one on our Raymond/South Bend (WA.) area caching this coming weekend. Temporarily French Polynesia's most prolific geocachers! Quote Link to comment
+Jogyo Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 If I may where can I get the Oregon geocoins? Thanks Jogyo and the Bodi posse "to cast off the transient and reveal the true." Quote Link to comment
+bazzle Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 You can find them in caches. I am not sure about ordering your own. We worked for several weeks designing and getting them made. Several of us now have them and will be placing them during our adventures. My mind not only wanders... Sometimes it leaves completely... **Namaste** Quote Link to comment
+Nurse Dave Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 One was placed in The Contact Cache yesterday. ---Real men cache in shorts. Quote Link to comment
+Capt. Jack & 1st Mate Posted May 20, 2003 Author Share Posted May 20, 2003 We placed one in two of our new four caches this last weekend....but I'm not telling which two. Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 quote:but I'm not telling which two I know which two. They're part of the Highway 44 series and are rated at least a 2/2. This should narrow it down Good to see we're getting them out there. I have been too busy in the yard the last few days to get out much (although I did do a lunchtime cache yesterday that I should've dropped one in) Quote Link to comment

+hcook1 Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I just dropped the first of my Geocoins (#0376) in a Cache in Austin Texas! Let's see how long it lasts! --- hcook1 People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, ... but they will always remember how you made them feel. Quote Link to comment
+DoodleCat & MisterKrrk Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 MisterKrrk is going to take one of ours to Georgia in a few weeks. I have a feeling when people find them they will keep them, but at least it looks like some of them are getting spread around. Quote Link to comment
SunCrushNJ Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 NurseDave was very nice enough to let us buy 3 off of him. I am keeping one for our collection and letting the other two out at our Summer Picnic later next month. Thanks again and there very nice!! Quote Link to comment
+Team JOYSON Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 We rushed through the puzzle for Contact, and made the trek out to grab #0012. Thanks NurseDave & LKay. We'll have to think long and hard about whether or not to pass it on. For now it's in our box of fun goodies. VERY COOL! "And then Trogdor smote the Kerrek, and all was laid to burnination."

+bazzle Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I have it on good authority that #0194 was left on Coon Island todsy... My mind not only wanders... Sometimes it leaves completely... **Namaste** Quote Link to comment
+kiwimonster Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 We left #326 in the cache that we placed today: Kamikaze Korner. This one is slightly easier than most of our other caches. Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 After The Play's the Thing I thought I had asked Jeremy to make sure that no more of your caches get approved . We'll see if he listens to me... Quote Link to comment

But seriously, the only thing hard about this cache is figuring out the traffic light safely... Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 So either Jeremy figured out telepathically my wishes regarding Kiwi's caches (I couldn't find evidence of actually emailing the request mentioned earlier ) or all of Oregon is back in the lowest possible queue for approvals Nothing against our recent approver up in the great state of WA - but why must we go stagnant when so many other approvers are available? (the local approver argument flies about as far as a lead balloon). Nothing approved in Oregon since Thursday Quote Link to comment
+kiwimonster Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Kamikaze Korner has been approved. Quote Link to comment
+bazzle Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Hmmmmm looks like I dropped a coin in one of the caches I did Saturday. Dang if I can remember which one... My mind not only wanders... Sometimes it leaves completely... **Namaste** Quote Link to comment
+Boojum Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Dropped off 2 non-numbered coins in caches today. My last cache find was waaaay back in October. Distributing coins may help me get out there finding again Did anyone else get non-numbered coins??? Quote Link to comment
+Nurse Dave Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 We still have a bunch of them ---Real men cache in shorts. Quote Link to comment
+Capt. Jack & 1st Mate Posted May 26, 2003 Author Share Posted May 26, 2003 Dave, do you mean you have a bunch to sell or to place? Quote Link to comment
+Nurse Dave Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Ummm, I'd be willing to part with another 10-20 non-numbered ones. ---Real men cache in shorts. Quote Link to comment

+Zzzoey & illDRIVEuNav Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Tried to visit cogeo today to log our first oregon geocoin find and can't get the page to come up... Anybody else having issues? I'm going to send an e-mail to Snazz and see if it's just me... But we just wanted to say that the coins are most excellent, now the age old decision, keep it or cache it... HMMMMM... WARNING: I cannot be responsible for the above, as apparently my cats have learned how to type. Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 cogeo.org came up at 6:11 pm. Quote Link to comment
+makaio Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I've got 10 coins (5 numbered/5 non) and haven't placed any yet. I've been on a caching hiatus for awhile and not sure when I'll get back out, but likely those that I place will be done in Arizona once we complete our move down there. ----- Matt K7MTO Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Snazz Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Sorry for the downtime, we had a power outage here on Saturday, June 7th, the duration of which exceeded the capacity of several UPS units, one of which was powering the server that cogeo.org is on Quote Link to comment
+bigeddy Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 So far I've placed 2 numbered geocoins (417, 418) in new Bend caches and 2 unnumbered geocoins in caches I visited (both by Moun10Bike in Idaho). I carry a couple with me when hunting. Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Snazz Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Not a good (nor typical) week for us Our ISP's upstream had an issue this morning, so cogeo.org was inaccessible to those outside of Bend, Oregon from approx 9:30am til 10:40am. I've added a "Server Events" area to the main cogeo.org page, so if the server "goes down" again and you're curious why, I'll post it there. Quote Link to comment
