We have officially become Snow Birds. We are native Michiganders who have acquired a condo in Palm City Florida where we enjoy the warmth and sunshine while the snow piles up and the temperature plummets at our Michigan home.
We hope you will enjoy this coin and its icon. Please move it to a new cache, perhaps in a new state but keep it away from freezing temperatures and snow. We hope that it does not become imprisoned in a notebook to be only "Discovered" at events.
To celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, we designed this coin. Our coin is Maize and Blue in recognition of our love and loyalty to our alma mater, the University of Michigan. The reverse side shows a stick figure of a teacher in recognition of the 30+ years we each spent in the classroom. On the chalk board are representations of our three children, Laurie, Tom, and Jana, all of whom are also U of M alumni.
Our first goal was to find a cache in each of Michigan's 83 counties and to launch a coin in each new county we added to our list. After we completed that quest in the fall of '07, we set as our next goal to cache all 50 states and launch a coin named after each one we added. We completed that quest in Hawaii in 2012.
As snowbirds, our latest challenge is to find a cache in each county in Florida
