It has been a long time since I found 100 caches in a month but I too am a big Terry Pratchett fan and decided I must get the turtle. My sister and I had a really good time caching together and both of us got our turtles. I just wish the travel tags hadn’t sold out.

You can have my Turtle tag. (I don't have the coin, just the tag).  Just PM me your mailing address.

... Getting the Turtle will be a delicate balance - we want to leave nearby ones for our cache a day.  We may go to a power trail (that we normally would not do!) several miles away just to get the #'s needed (I need 40 more).  Unlike other promos where we really did nothing different and were still able to earn all the souvenirs, we are going to have to stretch to get the final one on this promo.  IF we do it, we'll go Saturday and I expect we'll do the PT just long enough to get the souvenir.  Unless we find ourselves enjoying it, in which case we'll continue and finish the trail.

 

We did the PT on Saturday, and found a few other caches, and both hubby and I got our Turtle Souvenir on Saturday.  There are nearly 80 caches on the PT we did, but we stopped at 30; it's fairly close to home and we may want to do the rest for another promo in the future. PT's are not really what we like; we did it to complete the series of souvenirs, only!  We are happy to have achieved the Turtle, it was interesting doing the PT - you get into a rythmn - but we were just as happy to STOP once we had achieved enough to make the Turtle attainable by promo end.

Can you still find more creatures today or is the event over?

You might have a few more hours! 

 

I was caching with my six-year-old this month. Unfortunately, things happened in between (like work), so we had to stop at Dragon. One of my favorite creatures anyway, although we both love turtles and tortoises (real ones) as well. :)

Well I've got two more parts to my Hidden Creatures series out there, so in case you haven't seen them, maybe you'll enjoy them! :)

 

Part 2: Labyrinthian hunt for a unicorn

Part 3: Watery creatures of mythical proportion

 

It's been a little slow recently as other things have taken priority, but there still a few parts to come before finally reaching the coveted World Turtle!

I really enjoyed this series. Not because of the 'finding x caches' thing, but because it was a flexible, imaginative theme I was able to just have simple fun with :)

The promo's done now, but I hope more people enjoyed it than hated it!

Did anyone else get the Hidden Creatures souvenir survey today? Now's your chance to provide input on what you want to see in souvenir promotions, if you did!

 

Edit: well, I guess they didn't really want opinions, just answers to a couple of very basic questions. I'm disappointed.

Years ago there was some interest in "anything to add ?", but haven't seen that in some time. 

 - Surveys  for their agenda, not yours.   :)   Maybe TPTB figures that's what the help center's for.

Opinions/suggestions that might be read by TPTB now seems to be directed to feedback in User Insights.

This survey does have a box for freeform suggestions regarding "future challenges" and I took advantage of that.

I stand corrected! You are absolutely right.

A survey I'd have liked to receive.    Been curious why a couple promotions did have "opt ins/outs" but the rest not.   :)

I got the survey too.

 

Was surprised that the max found we can answer was 101+.

That surprised me too, but then it does indicate to whom the promotions are being marketed.

 

Many participants in the forums have been around long enough to not need incentives to go out caching or to try different types of caches. And we tend to nit-pick at the promotions even though they are still fun for many of us. But it seems that the promotions are more well-revieved outside the forums then in.

When I first read this I thought the question meant your Find count during the promo period, and that would make sense.  Once I got into the survey, though, I see it's your OVERALL Find count - there is a separate question about which souvenir(s) you earned.  So there must be a whole lot of people out there who participated in the promo, didn't earn all the souvenirs, and still have less than 100 finds, if this survey is to be at all meaningful.
