About This Item

2008 Greenback Hummingbird

This is a 2008 Greenback Geocoin

 

So much to choose from!

 

I won it in a raffle and I was the first one to win. I got to pick the first prize and I picked this. I didn't even know there was going to be a raffle. I was so excited! 

the first prize

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you something. I went to Fullersburg Woods to cut down invasive species. http://coord.info/GC5NW31

Visited 2/3/2019 sunnyside7 took it to Have you ever seen a dragon fly? Illinois - 11.98 miles  Visit Log

Everyone in the house had cabin fever after the record low temps and wind chill, along with the heavy snowfall we just had. Two many days off from school. I brought all the g-kids out here to add their names to the log sheet. Of course I made them solve the puzzle first.
The dragonfly looked a little weather worn, but to be expected. As planned, I grabbed the dragonfly and took it home. I am archiving it, as it has been a lonely cache lately.
After our visit here we drove over to Wolf Road Prairie to get some walking in. We had the whole place to ourselves. A good workout on Super Bowl Sunday morning, so bring on the snacks at gametime.

Thanks Gwen for hosting the GIFF once again. Glad we finally made it to one. Your helpers were well chosen. I would have given this at least a D/3.5 rating. That's how hard it was to pick a favorite film. Not only that, I would have given the event itself a favorite point, but it wouldn't let me!

On the way to the GI Film Festival we had a little monkey business to attend to. We handled it in short order. At the final we could have loitered for a while, but had a couple other puzzle caches along our route.

Thanks Greenback, for taking us to such a peaceful setting!

I did most of this series the first couple years of it's existence (including 3 of the FTFs). I found most of the rest of them the next year, enough to calculate and find the two finals. Of the few other remaining caches, they each racked up a DNF or two before being found, making this one the only piece of the hummingbird art without a smiley face.

Today was the big day, series completed! 😁 Glad this was moved to a new host nearby, or I may never have found it. Thanks Greenback for another epic series I can look back at with fond (and sometimes frustrating) memories. How could I forget "Amanda"? As for the puzzles, I could have solved them with a lot less Googling if they had been songs from the 60's.😎

Visited 11/20/2016 sunnyside7 took it to An ode to Greenbacks 20,000 finds Illinois - 11.1 miles  Visit Log

I was on my way to Blick's to get some paint for my artistic G-kid, but had to make just this one stop on the way, so I could tip my hat (three years late) to Greenback and say "congratulations on your 20,000 finds! When I got to GZ I found the cache in the second place I looked, because anytime I step up to a host such as this when I'm thinking of Greenback, I instinctively look up first....waaay up! Thanks for placing this fine tribute cache. And what makes it finer is the awesome poem you wrote, so good I had to read it twice.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 11/19/2016 sunnyside7 grabbed it   Visit Log

I want to take the coin to visit a special cache tomorrow!

Visited 4/18/2015 nobes took it to Country Lane Dinosaur Train ~ Argentinosaurus Illinois - 7.89 miles  Visit Log

When we got there I saw it right away. It had a hole in it so we put a new cache there. I saw no hummingbirds, but I saw lots of dinosaurs! I had fun on the bridge at the bottom of the hill.
