About This Item

The Gian Can o' Beans and BigFoot

The "Giant Can o' Beans" (GCOB) is a 37" tall by 24" wide mocked up version of the can of beans – actually a can of Blackeye Peas - that were included in the "Original Stash" by Dave Ulmer. 

The GCOB was created for the Cache the Stash Challenge (CtSC) which is a six-community coin challenge created by Oregon's Mt. Hood Territory - https://mthoodterritory.com and Amygems to help celebrate 15 years of geocaching.  For the CtSC, Western Family Foods created a 36" by 73"version of the "vintage label" of their blackeye peas since there is now a newer label for this product. The GCOB served as Challenge co-mascot along with Sandy the Bigfoot (PB9BZB).

In addition helping create the GCOB, Western Family also did a limited run of 200 "vintage cans" which were given away during the event.  

The CtSC kicked off Saturday, Aug. 8th, 2015 at the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Oregon City, Oregon. The six communities involved in the challenge are Sandy, Canby, West Linn, Damascus, Estacada and North Clackamas. Five hundred (500 coins) were minted for each of these communities.  All six of the coins fit together to form a snazzy puzzle cube.

Discovered it. Thank you for sharing. We are just now catching up on logging all the TBs we've managed to photograph over the past couple of years. We're just a little late to this party...

I have been very fortunate this year to be able to attend several events around Europe and in the U.S. I had the chance to attend the Gutenberg GIGA, Germany; Terezin games MEGA, Czech Republic; Project GeoXantike, Germany; Red Lion Meets signal, Luxembourg; Event at the lake, Germany; MegaPhone, GIGA, Germany; Block Party 2015, Washington; Project APE 2015, Washington; International Earthcache event, Germany; and Geocoinfest Europe 2015, Netherlands. I had the chance to discover so many different types of TB's, Coins, Mobile TB's, shirts, Pet tags and tattoos. Unfortunate do to so many events I did not identify which ones were located at which event. I am just thankful that I was introduced to this application that will allow for multiple logs at one time. I wish you all continued success with your travels and finds. May we meet again. I would like to thank all the owners for the chance to log the find.

Terribly late in logging this-I apologize! Discovered at the 2015 Block Party. I like beans but I think this may be too many!
