Current Goal

This copy of my geocoin would like to travel around the world to meet up with cachers that like to collect icons and move trackables. The original was stolen.

This is now my method of sharing my collection of trackables so please keep it moving to a potentially muggle free cache in a timely manner. (Generally within two weeks). 

This red Dragon Geocoin is traveling from Cache to Cache collecting stories and pictures from the people who discover it. Log on with your story and photo.

It's REALLY SAD when Geocoins are STOLEN, Please DON'T STEAL this Geocoin, Set it free to go on it's journey

Did not see this in location that it states it's at. Location cache is still there but container was broken completely. I'd go back to check to see if it fell to the ground but it's covered in poison ivy which I'm highly allergic too. Hope it gets found by someone!
