It wasn't as if I didn't try to do the 2020 New York State Parks Central Region Geocache Challenge...I actually had 14 stamps in my passport. But the COVID-19 pandemic kept me at home and so I never actually earned the geocoin. (The Saratoga Capital District Region didn't even run the Challenge in 2020, and didn't even start the Taconic Region one. Both Sooty Church and SJConnelly earned the Central and Taconic coins in 2020, but of course they could travel together safely....)
When Sooty Church completed the Central Region Geocache Challenge for 2021 he went to my favorite spot (the Park Office at Green Lakes State Park) to pick up his coin. He left without examining it carefully and when he discovered that they had accidentally given him a 2020 coin he had to return to get the right award. They asked if he already had the 2020 version, he said yes but said he knew of a worthy geocacher who would love to have this coin. And it was me!!
Sooty and SJC presented me with this coin when I arrived at their house first thing in the morning to take the long trip for them to complete the Saratoga Capital District Challenge and then to start this year's Taconic Region Challenge. I was thrilled and touched. Friends who geocache are the best!!
(And don't forget the fun back story about how LCSM got one of the coins for love2sing41 because of the picture on the coin.)
