~250 Finds Geo-Achievement Geocoin

Travel Far and Wide, then return home.

UPDATE: Dec. 2013 

Here is an odd request (?)

This memorial coin has traveled far, and I was now hoping to get it back before it falls into the neither-regions of the world.
If a finder could be so kind to contact me, and would be willing to mail the TB back to me, that would be fantastic. (central canada) I am very much willing to pay for the shipping and the handling.

Thanks Cachers!

001-250: Most Memorable Moments!
A list of some memorable caches, and the moments surrounding them, in my first 250 finds.

01: Mole Trap
First ever find. Ammo Can spring loaded to throw a snake at you. Loved it. I was hooked

09: Whitedog Dam Downstream
First cache on my first ever 'cache day'. Started @ 6am. Was a noob, took me a long time to spot the obvious thing.

24: Moby's Cache
First and last time I've ever met a fellow cacher in the flesh. Lost Three was there, thumbing through the container when I yelled" muggle alert" as I approached out of the woods.  Have never crossed paths again.

30: Spirit Rock
Here is the biggest erratic boulder I have ever seen; beautiful forest too. Nice Spot.

33: Gladys Island
Borrowed a canoe from a friend in Whitedog, and Canoed out to the site. Was an FTF occasion. Was an adventure. I like adventure caches.

36: Times are Changing
Totally blew it on this one. I found it near the beginning of the summer (2010), having forgotten I had already found it, I went for it a few months later. I ran through torrential summer rains and winds, only to realize once @ GZ that I had been here before. It all came back, and there I was, soaked and cold, for nothing... got back in the car and drove the last 5 hours home, soaking wet.

48: Log in Ardagh Bluffs
Brought my two year old son out for his first forest cache adventure. Having found a race car in this cache, he subsequently dropped it down a log, and I had to retrieve it. Two caches in one lol.

73: Squirrels Nest
First and last time I saw a hide like this. cool "toss up" container. I really like this one.

76: SCC Porky
I drove in the very dangerous way, and out the easy way. I found the log, but no container. Found the guilty culprit the next day, when I realized the log I brought home to photograph was skunk-sprayed, and the scent had leaked all through my shorts. My bedroom smelled like skunk. Sadly, this vermin killed this cache forever, as it was archived after a few more DNFs. (I now carry emerge micro containers for recovery)

91: Aldina Fire Tower
My first quad ride was compliments of my father-in-law. Upon my request, he took me from his camp in the area, out to the tower, specifically to find this cache. Fun ride, good adventure.

107: The Caves
An adventure. After bushing in, my GPS died no extra batteries. had to just "guess" against a massive cliff. Succeeded after a LONG TIME (wife and kids were actually waiting in the car).
I took 4 frog TBs to put into my own Frog Puzzle Cache.

109: Back to Nature
Drove a dusty one lane road with family into this giant erratic site. Was an FTF adventure operation. Loved it.

118: Catastrophe Lake
Did major repairs on this aging cache. Drove 100kms home, and realized I lost my Wallet. Returned to cache site the next day and COMBED the entire rock face, working up to the cache... Finally found my wallet after a fair deal of searching. It was sitting right where I sat a day ago, right next to GZ. Crazy.

137: Spirit Stamp
My first Letterbox. Was late for a meeting @ 5 when I was @ the cache just before. I had to run full tilt, the entire way out in summer heat. I almost ran right into a buck on the trail. lol.

152: Canada Cache
A fair cache. What I remember is finding a 5 year old, unopened flask of Whiskey Travel Bug that had circumnavigated the entire earth. Cool TB.

158: Canadian Music Numbers
Loved the puzzle, loved the hide tech even more...cool idea for hiding.

165: Keep Right....But Not That Far Right!
Black Nasty nano FTF prize comes back to haunt me. I bag an FTF on my own given FTF prize from the Amazing Sprouts cache. ... what goes around comes around...nice.

174: A Tail Calibrated to keep it in Suspense
Love the hide. It had me so frustrated, but also gave me a feeling of such reward when I finally figured it out. I love pulleys.

185: Ancient Original
Having not seen the gallery images, I was stumped. I returned to the site to search a number of times. Finally found it. Very cool container.

200: Trapper 2
For some reason I became obsessed with unearthing archived caches that still sat in the woods. This was one. I hiked out hoping after 5 lonely years, it would still be there. It was. I rebuilt it. And made it a new listing.

214: Welcome to my House
Took many drive bys before I had the courage to poke around someone’s house while they are home. I was poking lots, sat down and gave up. That’s when I noticed it. Nice container.

215: Railroad Queen
With a tip, I finally knocked this one down after several 30 minute DNF attempts in the past.

227: No Comment
Solved the puzzle, found the cache, also found that my new smart phone was gone when I got back to the car. Spare the details, the 2-hour phone salvage snow search was on… I finally found it in the snow, and it still worked enough to call my father/driver who went home to get wife/her cell to call mine (he owns no phone).

235: Going the Distance Challenge
My first challenge cache. I was able to log found because I have a travel bug (myself) that has travelled over 10,000 km.

244: Poorhouse Cairn
Here is an old stone marker squeezed between suburban development, marking the once large mansion/asylum. It housed hundreds of patients at a time, and is a site where it’s rumored 100s of people are buried  in unmarked graves. A weird find on a “park and grab” spur of the moment search.

245: Evil Wicked Mean and Nasty
After ditching out to get us “coffee” one AM, and then making excuses to myself to get away; I spent 45 minutes to get a DNF on my first try here, while visiting Thunder Bay. Needless to say the coffee was cold when I got back.  Second Visit, got justice (with a tip).

246: Minaki Kaboom
Beautiful lake snowshoe for FTF. Dropped my first geocoin.

250: Rush Bay
Snowshoe of doom, hit slush mass @ 1.5 of 4 km lake snowshoe. Still landed FTF FTW.
