Happy Go Lucky (Geocoin Copy)
Moo the Cow
On our Ludwigshafen Multi tours we planned to find LittleBridgeLost last weekend, but we didn’t manage to get there. Today Steffi picked me up at the train station and we headed out to this cache. It is a little out of Ludwigshafen.
After a short drive we enjoyed a wonderful evening walk in the sunset to [...]
A Dispatch from a Knight
What follows is a posting a geocacher left on March 3, 2009, when he retrieved “The Coin of Knightly Virtues” from the geocache named “Forest Thinning” in Connecticut.
The coin itself is a Templar geocoin with the following mission:
“To travel the world and encourage those who discover and help to move it to perform random acts [...]
A Surprise In The Mail
This afternoon after returning home with my littlest daughter, I ventured down to the mailbox, reached in and pulled out the mail.
Among the bills and the newspaper was a small package from overseas.
Although I am expecting a geocoin previously ordered, I found this delivery a surprise as I could not remember ordering any geocoins from [...]
A “Knight” Begins Its Quest
This evening before settling in to watch the Superbowl, I took time and finished the last bits of preparation work required before being able to send “A Knight’s Errand in Germany” out into the world.
“A Knight’s Errand in Germany” is actually a Teutonic Knights geocoin I purchased from Geocoinshop.de.
Going into today, I had already placed [...]

Not wanting to return home without helping at least one traveling item make a journey further north, I liberated the item from the cache and brought [...]
“By the Light of a Star” — a Mariner’s Astrolabe Geocoin
When I returned home from vacation, a magnificant gift awaited me and was hidden among the bills and other bits of mail that had accumulated during our absense.
It was the Mariner’s Astrolabe Geocoin I had preordered through CoinsandPins.com earlier in December.
Used up until the 1700s, the true mariner’s astrolabes were developed originally as replacements for [...]
The Star Trek Squirrel
This past week, “Star Trek Squirrel” appeared in a cache a maintain on Bell’s Lane just outside of Staunton, Virginia, called “I-81 Exit 225 TB & Geocoin Way Station.”
Being a big Star Trek fan and also being someone about to leave on a vacation, how could I not retrieve the little guy and bring him [...]
“A Knight’s Errand in Germany”
This afternoon, I received a few new geocoins in the mail.
Among these was an extra antique gold Teutonic Knights geocoin … but what mission to give it?
Wanting to honor a dear friend of mine who got me hooked on geocaching, I decided to send this one to him.
What better way to honor him and the [...]
