Current Goal

Please keep this moving.  Geocoins, like travel bugs, like to travel!  

 

If you pick up a geocoin or travel bug, realize that someone has spent money, time, and effort to share a little geocaching fun with you.  Please do the honorable thing and safeguard it from being lost at an event, at home, or in the bottom of a caching bag.  

 

Please put it in a cache (any cache, even the one in which you found it) within a reasonable time.  (Within two weeks, if possible.)

About This Item

Appalachian Trail geocoin, redone

This is a replacement for my Geocoin for Grandma, which is missing.  

This consists of a photocopy of the coin's image, along with two metal washers glued inside a coin capsule to give it a nice weight and feel.  I regret that it is a poor representation of the brilliant colors and craftsmanship of the original.  

This is one of a pair of geocoins that my children sent out from Oregon in hopes they'd reach their grandmother in West Virginia.  Both are missing.  I still hope the originals show up some day, perhaps with tales of grand adventures.

Grabbed this at a geo-event and will move along! I grandly sympathize with the loss of the original, as very few of mine are still out and about - and the ones that are pretty much are bouncing around all over Europe! Apparently, European cachers are more conscientious about keeping geocoins moving and not keeping them! There IS still hope - about two years ago, we inherited a travel bug from a young marine who had just finished his 6 years of duty, and in digging through a box at his parents, re-discovered a long-forgotten travel bug he had had since his teens... he passed it to us and asked us to cache it somewhere, which we were glad to do! Maybe your two coins will turn up yet!

Sorry I've had this so long, charliewhiskey. I feel bad that I've had it so long. I meant to drop it off, when I hit Reno, but couldn't find an appropriate cache, and then my health took a turn. I have passed it on to TeamGoobie to get it moving again.
