Hey Merkman, thought I would get on your list in the forum also. I would like to reserve one Alvins phone line geo-coin if I could please.
Thanks

I like the icon for The minnesota Loon geocoin. Looks really neat if you ask me. Can not wait to see Alvins phone line coin in person. I am getting anxious. _________________ "OFTEN IMITATED NEVER EQUALED" |

| OK, I was a little confused on the coin icon. I now see why that is. When I found the cache way back in 02 it was up in a deer stand and not the current seating errrrr setting. |
