The Moose Forest Geocoin was released by "cieske & babbelutje" on May 24th, 2008, and taking part on a family race. The Moose was first placed at Colorado, USA, and dropped off at "GC9310 Old Dillon Reserve". Around August 2008 the Moose entered the State of Minnesota. At September 1th. 2008 The Moose was dropped off at "GC168E2 Nevers Dam" and was never seen again.....

2730 days later or nearly 7 1/2 years later....

The Moose appeared again at February 22th 2016: "Well, here it is! Sort of a double find. I recently discovered this geocoin in some camping gear. I believe my son found it at Nevers Dam, Wild River State Park, Minnesota, sometime between 2008-2010 on a Boy Scout camping trip. It's a beautiful geocoin and we are pleased to send it on its way back home. Bon voyage Moose Forest!"

Fortunately this camper got a friend at Minnesota who visited Düsseldorf, Germany, the next week and handed over the Coin the his friends gingerfred99. Gingerfred99 and the owner cieske & babbelutje agreed on terms of delivery: taking the Coin with us until we are going to visit Belgium for the very next time.

In the meantime The Moose Forest Coin visited e.g. Düsseldorf, Collogne, Essen, Potsdam (Germany), the 3 Islands of Malta (Malta, Gozo, Comino), Nijmegen at Netherlands and London, UK.

Now, The Moose Forest Geocoin coming home........and we are going to meet either "cieske & babbelutje" or "pastoor6" and deliver the Coin to its owner.
