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

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!

Well, we got the coin to Helena but there was too much snow to find the caches I had programmed. I did get a couple pictures of the coin in front of the state capitol building which I'll post in the next couple days. I dropped the coin off in a cache with excellent access from the interstate, so hopefully it'll start traveling again soon.

As luck would have it, we're headed to Helena, so grabbed the coin back from Zeecat. We'll place it in Helena to get it another capital.

Our Geocaching extravaganza is now over. We ended up driving a little over 5100 miles, cached in 18 states, and moved 29 Travel Bugs or Coins (some much further than others). We attempted, as much as possible, to help the travelers achieve their missions. Some we couldn’t help so we dropped them off as soon as we could. Noteable among our travel companions were a coin and a TB from New Zealand, a Bear that originated in Slovakia and has traveled Europe extensively, a TB sent out to explore as a tribute to a parent, coins launched in spite of previous attempts that ended in zero miles traveled before the coins disappeared, a young lad TB who fell in with bad company and in spite of having a very modest goal, took almost 4 years to achieve it, and a Red Jeep named after a river in Montana that we just HAD to bring back to our home state. Geocaching afforded us a great opportunity to occasionally get off the freeway and discover unique facets of the US we never would have dreamed existed. Who knew there was a North American Wife Carrying Championship???? We certainly didn’t. We also didn’t realize that there are places you can buy French Fries cooked in Duck Fat and served with Truffle Oil infused Ketchup. If you ever get a chance, try them. We’ve dropped off several of our traveling companions, and will deposit the rest within the next couple weeks. I’m posting pictures of our trip with this farewell message. Some of the photos may not apply to your traveler, but we felt it was appropriate since they were part of the journey and were with us in spirit if not physically. We enjoyed having your bugs and coins with us to share this journey.

Ah, North Dakota. We're almost home - only 600 miles to go. We grabbed this cache since it was part of a school project. Now we are making a "run for the border." The sun is shining, the traffic is sparse. Yeah. Not sure who is more excited us or the travel bugs although we'll all be sad when we part company.
