WH Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 I was just wondering if any of the Magellan "Cache Her If You Can" winners have received their prizes and, if so, what did you get? Quote
+Corp Of Discovery Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 Still awaiting notification here. FTF on the Chicago one. Quote
+JoesBar Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 I found both Cleveland caches. Since that was only two weeks ago, I don't expect my mystery prize for several weeks. Quote
+papade Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 I ftf'd the Cleveland cache #27B, and know the Magellan has had it in their offices since 10:46am, last wednesday and still haven't seen anything posted as to what I have won. Sigh....Oh well...must continue to practice patience. Quote
+The Roving Ravenstones Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Was the FTF for #29, just sent mine out priority mail today I hope to hear soon! Quote
+pdxmarathonman Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 (edited) I still am holding the certificate for #26. It says to wait 6-8 weeks after they receive the certificate. There is no way to know what you've won until the entire contest is completed since the grand prizes are awarded in a random drawing. I think the certificates must be received by end of September. I am going to send it Certified since "proof of mailing isn't proof of receiving". Edited August 31, 2004 by pdxmarathonman Quote
+The Roving Ravenstones Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 There is no way to know what you've won until the entire contest is completed since the grand prizes are awarded in a random drawing. They already have the prizes listed for 1-25 I am going to send it Certified since "proof of mailing isn't proof of receiving I wish I had thought of that Quote
+pdxmarathonman Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 From the Rules/Regs The grand prize awarded to each winner will be chosen at random as Prize Claim Documents are received. I guess I should read a little closer. Quote
+papade Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 I sent mine via express mail so I could track it on www.usps.com. It shows that a V MEDINA signed for it on 8-26-04 at 10:46am. So they have recieved the new data. Now they need to react to it and post the information. Shouldn't take a week to do that. Quote
+JoesBar Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 (edited) As stated in an eariler post, Magellan has FTF's and their prizes for missions 1-25 on the website. Mission #1 won the geocaching getaway prize. The rest won geocaching gear. I wonder where the getaway trip is to, what is in the geocaching gear package? They also list the mystery prize winners but make no mention of what the prizes are. I would guess mystery prizes are hats or shirts. But one of those water bottles would be nice too.

+papade Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Which means there is one more Dream Getaway to be won. If you go back to the first three or four missions, mystery prize winners have posted what they got. Quote
+papade Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Went back to check for the mystery prize recieved and couldn't find the info. Now I am wondering where I saw it? Quote
+pdxmarathonman Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Which means there is one more Dream Getaway to be won. If you go back to the first three or four missions, mystery prize winners have posted what they got. I didn't look very hard, but where did you see that there are 4 Getaways? I guess I have a 1:5 chance at it Quote
WH Posted August 31, 2004 Author Posted August 31, 2004 I am a mystery prize winner for Mission 6 and I have heard nothing as of yet from Magellan. Quote
+papade Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 From Mission 13 Posted on 8/28/2004 12:37:30 AM by Urbanlove In the mail 8/27 I got a Jury Summons and a package from Thales Navigation guess which one I opened first... 1. Nalgene water bottle 2. camping cookbook 3. Hockypuck Binocs 4. Look behind sunglasses 5. 3 in 1 flashlight. Thanks Magellan! How many days does your employer pay for jury duty? Posted on 8/26/2004 3:13:34 PM by stampsalot87 My mystery prizes arrived today, thanks Magellan! They included 04 tenting directory, ice hockey binoculars, 3 in 1 soft light, and sunglasses. Looking forward to next years contest. Thanks again! Quote

I guess I have a 1:5 chance at it I thought there were only 3 getaways to be awarded myself, til I saw last night that it says 4. I was wondering if they changed it since they added that 31st contest cach..... Quote
+IV_Warrior Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 A cacher on another board posted what he got. I got my prizes from the Magellan Challenge thingy:- A pair of 'see behind you' sunglasses - 'Hockeypuck' Binoculars - Suntone 3-in-1 Soft Lite - 2004 Tenting Directory Doesn't seem worth the headache to me, glad I didn't even attempt one. Quote
Pantalaimon Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Doesn't seem worth the headache to me, glad I didn't even attempt one. Hrrrhghn? I'm confused as to how hunting Magellan's Cache Her If You Can Caches is anymore of a "headache" for a cacher than any other cache. Quote
WH Posted September 2, 2004 Author Posted September 2, 2004 I just received my mystery prize pack from the Magellan contest. I received: 3 in 1 flashjlight fold up binoculars look behind singlasses 2004 tenting directory Quote
+pdxmarathonman Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 My Grand Prize certificate was just received at Magellan HQ today at 11:00am. Mission #26. Hopefully the site will soon be updated with the winners of the later missions. Quote
+Damenace Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I just received my mystery prize pack from the Magellan contest. I received: 3 in 1 flashjlight fold up binoculars look behind singlasses 2004 tenting directory This is exactly what I received. There was a reason I didn't take it from the cache when I found it. Of course the DesertHermit got the grand pize where I am at. My daughter just loves the binoculars and thinks the glasses are cool Damenace Quote

Hopefully the site will soon be updated with the winners of the later missions. Congrats on winning that Dream Getaway. Thanks! That was a pleasant shock. The last 6 winners all won at least the mid-level prize and I lucked out and got the 4th trip. Now, where to go.... Quote
