+wretsub Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Hello Everyone, I am in the process of working with the Geocache people in putting together a Geocache Patch per state. I was thinking this would be a great cache item or something to wear on a jacket to show all the different states that a person found a cache. At this point, I am interested to know what people think. The patch would be the Geocache Logo with the state in the background.. Thanks for all your input!

+unclerojelio Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Where do I send the cache? ... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, ... unclerojelio Quote
BassoonPilot Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 I'd probably buy them even if the price wasn't right. Quote
Atilla the Pun Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Sounds like a cool idea for a cache toy as well as for one's own clothing. AtP Quote
+Feros Family Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 I'd buy those! Look great on my Biker vest. Quote
+GatoRx Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Sounds like a good idea to me - I'd spend some money on it. Quote
+niskibum Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Sounds like a good idea. Will you be including the state of confusion? What about other countries? Quote
+DutchBoy Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 My wife does machine embroidery and we have been leaving these sew-on patches in caches as a trading piece. We have gotten lots of requests for extra patches. I think your idea sounds great. DutchBoy Quote

+RAD Dad Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 My state is Oregon, I'd like a few, and I'd of course be willing to pay a few bucks each. Let me know ummmm....not sure what to say here....so ummm, well errrr, uhhhh, well I guess that's it. Quote
+Gimpy Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Put me down for some NY patches! Great idea! Quote

Why be so US-centric? There are 119 countries that, as I write, have caches in them... so why stop at the US? OK, the demand won't be as great, but I expect those patches would be hugely popular in Europe (UK in particular) and other countries where nations are relatively close to one another.

Seeker BP Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Count me in for some OHIO Patches. I like the Idea! Quote
+Team J&K Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Good Idea. DutchBoy's patch is quality work, have one on my backpack. Quote
Team Sidewinder Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 It sounds like a good idea although if every geocacher in Montana bought one that would only be 50 some. sidewinder LOST AND FOUND DEPT. Quote
Buckaroo Banzai Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 I'll take 2 New Jersey patches.... If it's not one thing, then it's another... Quote
+DHobby1 Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Sounds like a Grand Idea. I would like about 20 to get started, UTAH. dhobby1@earthlink.net. DHobby1, on to the next! Quote
+TheBeans Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Yes yes and yes! Count us in. When do you think they'll be ready? We have one of Dutchboy's wife's patches on our backpack and it's great! Quote
+Dakota Ladybug Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Would love some for South Dakota. Count me in. Quote
C.I.A. Agents Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 I'll add my name to the vote. It sounds like a great idea. For such a good idea, you get a huge smilie! Okami - President, C.I.A. Quote
+WaldenRun Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 Sure, and how about a service where I automatically get sent a patch for a state when I log my first non-virtual cache in that state. -WR "Why worry when you can obsess?" Quote

+welch Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 im not sure i would want a patch collection.... ive only found in 2 states so far, but what would i do with 5 different patchs, let alone 40 or 50!! Quote

Did you ever see those felt "Friendship Pin" banners/pennants that were a fad among young girls a couple of years back? You could affix them to something like that, or you could make yourself a sash like the boy/girlscouts wear. Me? I'd velcro them to the sunvisor of my cachemobile. Quote

+MissJenn Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 Great idea. When might it come to fruition???? I am just curious, since birthdays and things like that are coming up. Also, I assume they'd be available thru the Groundspeak shop? Or no? ----- You must be present to win. Quote

Then leave the patches for someone who wants one, and trade for something else. I have packpack for geocaching. I'd sew any patches I trade for on to my backpack. Anyhoo, Sailors in the US Navy do simular things. I've seen people use backpack but the most popular is a jacket. They will get a patch from each port they visit and sew it on the back or down the sleaves of a jacket (or the cheat and buy one at the ships store). - Lone Rangers Quote
+GeoForse Posted April 26, 2002 Posted April 26, 2002 Count me in also. Only five states so far, but more will be on the way. GeoForse Quote

+RAD Dad Posted April 26, 2002 Posted April 26, 2002 I would love to get a patch for each state I cache in...though chances are those would only be the surrounding states...I don't travel far. I'd definately need one for Oregon, where I live, and Washington where I vacation often...maybe California, if I ever get down there, and probably Alaska, as well as Victoria and Vancover BC. I'd love to put them on my pack. ummmm....not sure what to say here....so ummm, well errrr, uhhhh, well I guess that's it. Quote
+rickrob Posted April 27, 2002 Posted April 27, 2002 Count me in, I would love to have one are 100 Quote
+niskibum Posted April 27, 2002 Posted April 27, 2002 I was wondering what size you would make them. If people had numerous states a smaller patch would be prefered. Would it be possible to have two sizes, a large one for your home state and small ones for other states you have cached in? Quote
+Jacksons Posted April 27, 2002 Posted April 27, 2002 Sounds great I want an Ohio patch,I supposed we will have to put up with a michigan patck also Quote
spiderlady Posted April 27, 2002 Posted April 27, 2002 Count me in for Oregon!! Perhaps if people were interested in collecting the patches there would be a way in the forums to accomplish that? I know personally my chances of geocaching in any other country would be 'pretty slim to none'... but I would LOVE to be able to acquire patches from other countries.

+zoisrus Posted April 29, 2002 Posted April 29, 2002 Count another Ohioan in-what a great Idea-I would want one for Ohio, Michigan, NY, PA, and Idaho where I plan to go Geocaching in August! Quote
