How did you hear of eatstayplay.com for the free geocoin.
We were heading on a road trip (basically a caching road trip) from Auburn In, to Cincinnati Ohio and one of the caches was an ammo box in a cemetery. There were three in the box so we grabbed one.

We had seen the geocoins before but didn't really know what they were, so last week when we found a couple in a cache, we decided to take one and see what it was all about. Glad we did because meeting other cachers, hearing stories, comparing results, etc is great!  |

How long did you wait for your first coin? We just finished pacing our first 50 & don't know what happens next. Oh, Hello from Georgia...We're Newbies to everything Geocaching. We haven't even broke 100 finds yet.

We just finished placing ours so I don't really know. Not really knowing Kim (site owner/operator) she seems on top of the game. I send her emails every once in a while and normally hear back from her within a couple hours. She normally sends them out when she has them. As in if she has the coins and people finish placing their tokens, she will send it out to you. Sometimes she has to order more. But you should get them a soon as she can get to your order!

I found an eatstayplay coin while caching on South Mountain in Phoneix and I thought it was cool but didn't really think much of it until the very next cache I discovered in Tempe had one too so I took it and the rest is history.

its amazing this caching thing. i was going through the history of a cache and the travel bugs that were in it. and one travel bug that went through the cache two months ago went from indiana all the way to nova scotia. its amazing how fast things go.

Thanks for the patience of EVERYBODY. I say that I'm a one-woman show, but that's really kind of a mis-truth. My folks (ESP Boss and The Queen Mother) are always willing to help out. In fact, we just spent the last two weekends packaging tokens to ship and stuffing envelopes.
Where I'm currently backlogged is going through the token-placed logs. I can process about 80 an hour and have about 900 to go through. Now, that wouldn't seem so bad, just ONE really long day, right? Well, I'm ALSO working 50+ hours at my dad's tax office!
I've had lots of offers of help, but I'm just not sure about having somebody help me with something that is so important: getting people's coins in their hands!

I live in Tempe and have 162 finds/hides in South Mountain Park; I dropped tokens in both. Very possibly those were caches that I had visited & left tokens when I was doing my 50. I don't know of any other EatStayPlay cachers in Tempe; but maybe there are some. Cache On! Gary (bedstefader skjule) |

Since I have recently just started caching I have been hesitant to take any coins or tokens, but today I was out to make a grab in Lindenwood Cemetery in Ft. Wayne, IN and found three but only took one. Figured I would break down and see what these coins were all about. Is signing up for eat stay play all you have to do to get a free coin? Still not sure how it all works. I'm planning a trip to St. Louis, MO and Edwardsville, IL soon and there is a TB Hotel cache out there. Hopefully I will be able to find a bug before I leave and help it move along as well as bring one back with me.
Happy Caching everyone!

I found my first coin at the cache across America in Warsaw, IN. There was 3 coins in there only taking one. Anyone going thru the area needs to check out this location, very unique.
