+treb3 Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 Does anyone know of any state that has a Geocaching license plates? It seems as though they have special plates for everything else.... Quote
+SlowMover Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 As of April 30, 2002, both GEOCACH and GEOCASH are available in California. See web site: http://plates.ca.gov/search/ Quote
+treb3 Posted May 26, 2002 Author Posted May 26, 2002 I was looking for states that have specialized plates for different activities and groups. Virginia has over 180 of them for Bowlers, ducks unlimited, greyhound adoption and Aviation Enthusiasts. Here is the website for samples: http://www.dmv.state.va.us/exec/vehicle/splates/category.asp?PLTNO=&category=S I was wondering if other states had them or trying to get one for geocachers. Quote
+Rebel Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 I'm not sure how Virginia gets one on the road, but suspect that it's pretty much the same as Georgia. Here, you work with a state rep and get a bill passed authorizing DMV to issue the plate. Then, the DMV solicits folks to buy the plate (usually around $40 extra per year.) Then, when DMV gets about 350 people signed up, they press the plates. I like the idea a lot. But, what do I do with my SCV plate? ----------- "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." - Mark Twain Quote

+Wander Lost Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 How about Geocaching.com license plate holders???? We're thinking about having them made up for our vehicles but an official one would be real cool. If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people?? Quote

+GoldKey Posted May 29, 2002 Posted May 29, 2002 The procedes do go to the organization that sponsored it if the plate is approved. But most of the ones I know are Universities/Sports Teams. Chris Quote

+park2 Posted May 31, 2002 Posted May 31, 2002 Not sure if you meant a series or a vanity plate, but here's mine (avatar). I actually bought it for my day job but it fits pretty good here too. Quote

+park2 Posted June 2, 2002 Posted June 2, 2002 Hey TT, good guesses. The first 3 would be a little livelier, it's closest to the last guess, I sell/train on buried utility locators (not to be confused with metal detectors). Quote
