Personal Geocoins Almost Here!!

On October 28, 2008January 9, 2016 By GeoKsIn GeocachingLeave a comment

Today we received confirmation from Landsharkz that most of our personal geocoins are on the way. I say "most" because the mint forgot to paint one side of one version of the coin, so we'll be short 60 coins until that particular version is re-minted.   Even so, I expect 340 coins will take a long …

Personal Geocoin Update

On June 22, 2008January 9, 2016 By GeoKsIn GeocachingLeave a comment

Personal Geocoin Progress

On April 26, 2008January 9, 2016 By GeoKsIn GeocachingLeave a comment

Old Man Winter seems especially reluctant to leave Calgary this year, so we've enjoyed his company (and fresh snow fall) every day for the past week (until today). With so much white stuff providing extra camo/cover for geocaches, we haven't been out collecting many "found its" lately. Mr. GeoK did make it to GC1B3KP "Pizza and Beer" on …
