About This Item

This coin was a gift to charter members of GCHR. Thank you to the group for this generous gift.

I'm going to make this a cache-to-cache mileage tracker, with backlogs to when I started in 2001.

1/20/2003 #2 - A drive by cache going from the Atlanta area to the Georgia coast. An amusing and fairly scenic placement, although the cache page is a bit condescending. Glad that I actually bothered to get this one.

1/20/2003 #1 - The second find after the Interscholastics. Found the preliminary points the day before and went for the actual cache after the extreme-o meet. A good concept for a park that doesn't want physical caches on the grounds.

Found this after the second day of the Interscholastic Orienteering Champs. Hiked with a fellow QOC member. She carried a GPS, while I had the point plotted on the competition map. Mostly due to the slowness of the GPS, she wasn't impressed and hasn't gone back out on a cache hunt since. I enjoyed the extra hike in this park.

Visited 1/12/2003 MapheadMike took it to Elizabeth on the dry side Virginia - 9.49 miles  Visit Log

My second attempt at this cache. A moment of "DUH" helped me figure out the clue and find this easily. Found two letterboxes that I wound up adopting.

Visited 12/29/2002 MapheadMike took it to Mt. Trashmore Cache Virginia - 80.78 miles  Visit Log

A night find under some playground equipment. The park closed for renovations right after this visit and the cache was removed then.

Visited 12/22/2002 MapheadMike took it to VA Tech Tidewater Arboretum Virginia - 77.89 miles  Visit Log

Fourth to find on the first day of the cache. Original placer was a trucker from Kansas who left this under a pine tree at 4AM, primarily to leave a TB.

This was #64 and I had 36 letterbox finds to this date. That made this a milestone.

Visited 12/2/2002 MapheadMike took it to Makemie Monument Cache Virginia - 54.7 miles  Visit Log

A drive by cache on the Eastern Shore, done with my arm in a sling after seperating my shoulder at the orienteering meet at Iron Hill. I had a religious themed TB, so I wanted to drop it in the park with a religious themed statue.

Visited 11/25/2002 MapheadMike took it to Off in the wild Virginia - 58.23 miles  Visit Log

A fun drive by near Urbanna. Placed on a country dirt road next to a lake. A map worked well here, since these roads were tough to find and the straight line won't help.

Visited 11/4/2002 MapheadMike took it to Memorial Cache Revisited Virginia - 20.26 miles  Visit Log

First cache visit to Great Neck Park. It was originally designed as a multi. Part one was plundered, but the hint gave the final away. A letterbox was planted in the other part of the gazebo as part of a Virginian-Pilot article about that hobby. I found my first hitchhiker there after getting this cache.
