We Hit the Century Mark Geocoin

To travel around the world visiting exotic places, people and caches.

NOTE: Please do NOT keep this geocoin for your PERSONAL collection.  I bought it and put it in circulation hoping it would bring many smiles to geocachers all over the world.

I am including the 100 Finds pin that comes with it as a FTF prize for the first person who logs it.  Enjoy!

I am placing this coin in circulation in celebration of CoupleCachin and me (keegrepus) achieving our first 100 finds.

If you find, retrieve and move this geocoin, please take a moment to log it as it travels.  Although not required to log the find, I thought it would be nice to see/hear the following:

1. Take a picture near the pickup/dropoff point of you and/or your crew with the coin and your GPSr,
2. Include the "Tale of Your 100th Find" in the log (or, if you haven't hit 100 yet, your most memorable find to date).

Please enjoy the coin and move it quickly to a nearby cache for others to enjoy as well.  Thank you!

keegrepus' 100th Find:
As the morning of 5/29/2011 rolled around, I still needed 10 finds to hit my personal goal of 100 finds in my first month geocaching.  I had no idea that "challenge caches" even existed at that point, but I was quickly smitten with geocaching and my addictive personality was taking over.  I had to get my ten finds for the day and hit 100 in my first month, I was determined.  Imagine my dismay, when the second cache I attempted was a DNF for the day...ouch...not good.  However, I stuck it out, moved to a better area with a few "easier" caches and finally managed to hit 99.  I spent a few minutes searching for the right cache and struck out for Honeycutt Park as the system showed a geocoin in a 1.5/1.5 and I thought finding a geocoin in my 100th cache would be a great way to end the day.  I wasn't disappointed as I got the find and it did indeed have a geocoin in it.  I am over 250 now and CoupleCachin is closing in on the mark as well, so hopefully we'll be putting that coin into circulation soon too.  ;-)  I love setting goals and my new one is to hit 500 finds by year end 2011 (shouldn't be too hard).

CoupleCachin's 100th Find:
On 6/11/2011, I still needed 7 finds to hit my 100th find.  It was a great day for caching and the aim was to get 6 easy finds and make the 100th a bit special and keegrepus had one in mind for me.  It actually turned out to be a great day, although all the "easy finds" didn't come as easily as we had hoped, but we managed to hit 99 and then head out for the "special one" he had chosen for me.  It was to be my first 3.5/1.5 and the difficulty rating proved to be spot on.  We hit the GZ and I was armed with an iPhone AND a GPSr, but struggled for some time trying to locate it.  After searching for a while, keegrepus asked me to keep a mental bookmark of my current searching location and come down the little hill we were on to talk to him.  When I got there, he proceeded to congratulate me for touching my 100th geocache, not only once, but twice (once with my foot and once with my hand).  Aaaagh...where was this thing?  Armed with the fact that I was in the right area, I reapproached the GZ with renewed vigor and quickly made the find...a homemade "door" as referred to in the cache description constructed of cement and rocks with a fake plant sticking out of it, covering a hole in the ground and blended nicely with local leaves and sticks...it was awesome!!!  It included a TB to boot and as we were leaving, the CO even showed up at the GZ and congratulated me on my 100th find.  It was certainly a great day!
