About This Item

Front Side

This is the second coin in my New Mexico Geocoin series. It's dedicated to the town of Chimayo in Northcentral New Mexico. In this town and the region around it, the inhabitants still speak Spanish. This is because the region was originally settled by the Spanish who came up from Mexico centuries ago. The town is well known for its weavers. The rug in the photo comes from this town.

You can learn more about this town at http://chimayo.org/

If you have high speed internet and Windows Media Player you can see my video of New Mexico at http://www.overthebrink.com/newmexico/NewMexico.html

PLEASE do not hold on to this coin for too long! Allow other geocachers the enjoyment of discovering it and keep it moving!

I have it back - the "transfer" of this GC was planed in Oostende (cache "On the beach"), unfortunately we have spent most of the time with our kite and wind there :-)
Anyway, we have made this official "quick-change" in micro cache nicely pleced really "close" to Atomium and I thing that countable fact is that we have new GEOcatcher Gabisek! :-)
Don't worry - I will just show the coin to my NEW MEXICO friend and I will pass it again really soon (back in CR)...

NOTE: Sorry for confusion with dates, the correct one is 11th of September (don't know how to correct it)

I am going to take this GC for short trip to Belgium and then forward it somewhere back in Czech Republic. Only reason for "longer" possession of this coin is show it to my good friend who is originally from New Mexico but he is living in Trinec now (and I will meet him in 2nd half of September) - he will be really pleased, believe me!
But don't worry, I will follow the rules, another GEOcatcher will help me to make this possible...
