    What a cool GC! I was put in charge of this GC way back when from the GC owner. It was too cool a coin that I didn't want to ever release it and chance it disappearing. So...I took it all over the place and checked it into and out of caches to show it was moving around. Well....I had a lapse of judgement one day and left the GC in a cache. It was a challenge for myself to see if I could then go retrieve it from whatever cache it was taken to.....figuring that it would be taken to a local cache. Well....it was taken to Europe! Darn! I'd never see it again.

    Well.....the GC owner happened to be in Rome where the GC was last placed and was able to pick it up again!

    Then....the GC owner and I happened to attend the same conference in The Hague, Netherlands....and I was able to again get my hands on this beauty!! Will I ever let it go again??!! We'll have to see!! I think it will be moving far VERY soon!

    Retrieved my own GC after it travelled from California to Italy, Turkey and back to Rome in Italy. I'll take it back to Germany and maybe further from there. I know somebody who is eager to get it back in his hands :-)

    We carried this Geocoin from California to Sicily to Turkey and now back to Rome. We will now leave it for another cacher to take to far off new places.

    Our visit to Turkey is coming to a close. Will move this one along again, maybe to Rome.
