About This Item

This geocoin has a specific goal. If you cannot assist in moving this coin towards its destination, DO NOT TAKE THE COIN. This geocoin is NOT a keepsake. It is not for you to take and keep.


The reverse of the coin has an outline of the State of Mississippi and three flags. Mississippi was admitted to the Union on December 10, 1817. On January 9, 1861 it seceded from the Union and was admitted to the Confederate States of America on March 27, 1861. On February 23, 1870 it was readmitted to the Union. The three flags are the current flags of the United States of America and the State of Mississippi and the last official flag of the Confederate States of America.
The obverse of the coin has the logo of Blue Canary, who has been geocaching since February 21, 2003. A blue canary is a term used only half in jest by firemen in referring to law enforcement officers at a hazardous materials incident. Unfortunately, Hazmat training for law enforcement has lagged behind that of fire fighters. Law enforcement is usually trained to rush immediately to any incident they are called to. Fire fighters have been trained to observe the area as they approach. Only half jokingly fire fighters are taught in responding to hazardous material incidents to observe any law enforcement officers already on the scene to see if the "Blue Canaries" appear OK or are prone on the ground. Blue Canary is a retired law enforcement officer

Picked up the Blue Canary in "They Roll Up The Sidewalks At Night" GC13DFM.
I will be seeing relatives from Utah next week and can let it hitch a ride with them to Springville.

hey Blue Canary!
We met at the 2006 Katrina Event. I was with the crazy Queen Zelda who cooked breakfast for everyone. It was neat seeing another one of your coins. Hope this makes it to Utah.

We found this today and noticed that it is a long way from its destination. I will put it in a cache near the airport in hopes that it can head North.

Saw this cool coin in the "Taps" cache, but left it since I'm not headed towards Utah anytime soon.

Now don't you go shouting, "Ma!" or "Pa!"
"This gal don't know where the heck is Utah!"
At least the coin's movin' on
With a fragment of song
And I wish it well with a merry, "Ta-Ta!!!"

Utah wasn't in the picture -- maybe the next cachers will get it further on its way? Or it'll just enjoy the side trip!
Thanks for the time with it!

The Tygress, Knightsofni, and I found this one on a good day caching the Temple-Belton area. Having been both a "Blue Canary" and a canary watcher, I found the story behind the coin to be amusing -- but so true.
