Current Goal

This coin would like to have it's picture taken in all 50 States, and in all 50 State Capitals, plus Washington D.C.! Our first coin with this mission went missing after 0 miles, then our second coin with this mission *also* went missing after 0 miles. I know, it's not exactly the best track record, but we're nothing if not stubborn, so we'll try again with this coin!

About This Item

sg.jpg


This 2006 SunshineGang Geocoin is being launched into the wild, in search of good friends and great adventures! Recently, my wife has begun preparations to go back to school for her Masters Degree. As part of her prep, she has to take the MAT test - including learning and memorizing all 50 State Capitals. It has inspired me to release this coin for her - it's goal is to visit and get it's picture taken in all 50 States, and in all 50 State Capitals. It's free to travel here, there, and everywhere along the way - gathering as many miles, stories, and adventures as it can. We hope you enjoy this lil' piece of sunshine, and thanks for keeping it moving!

Brought the coin along on a geocache trip in Washington today. The shot with the coin didn't come out, but here's another. This is a lesser known view of Snoqualmie falls at:

I'm going to leave it at another cache this weekend that will have a better chance of getting to Olympia.

Retrieve It from a Cache 5/11/2008 schludwiller retrieved it from BITTERROOT RIVER TRAVEL BUG LODGE Montana   Visit Log

Found this coin in a swap on our way home from our stay at the Lost Horse Creek Lodge. We were in a hurry so we forgot to take a photo in Idaho (doh!). It's safe and sound in Seattle, WA. I'll take a picture and post when I leave it in a new cache this weekend and help it get to Olympia.

I grabbed my second coin. I love the smiling sun. Saw that is has been to Helena from the past logs. So I will try to get it somewhere off Highway 93, so it would be easier to hitch a ride to Idaho or beyond. Will post some pictures of it in the Bitterroots soon. Thanks!

We're not going through Helena but then I see it already has Montana crossed out. So I'll move it along where someone else can hopefully help it fulfill its goal.
