TB24N3A: Two Seasons of December (Blue)

TB24N3A: Two Seasons of December (Blue)
Activated: 8th June 2008

Current Goal:
TB24N3A: Two Seasons of December (Blue) is one geocoin from a set of two, the other is TB20R0J : Two Seasons of December (Gold) that we’d like to travel through the Northern and Southern Hemispheres but both coins SHOULDN’T be in the same hemisphere at the same time so if one coin is in the Northern hemisphere, then the other coin must be in the Southern (or heading in their respective directions).

This may take some time to achieve so please help us by moving these coins quickly and placing them in actively visited caches only.

TB2DBE7: COALCACHE Australasia

Activated: 8th June 2008

Current Goal: to Travel around Australasia.. no fuss no formalities.. just fun and photos :)

“Australasia is a region of Oceania: New Zealand, Australia, Papua New Guinea, and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean. The term was coined by Charles de Brosses in Histoire des navigations aux terres australes (1756). He derived it from the Latin for “south of Asia” and differentiated the area from Polynesia (to the east) and the southeast Pacific (Magellanica).”

TB24KY1: Ocean Blue

TB24KY1: Ocean Blue
Activated: 8th June 2008
Current Goal: as her name suggests she loves the Ocean, in fact she’s partial to water in general so please place her in caches close to water.. be that an ocean, a stream, a waterfall, a tap, a drinking fountain etc… NO drain pipes, storm water catchments etc as she’s very wee and fears being swept away.
Please post photos of her near her cache location or just travelling in general, that way the 3 other Cache Agents:
Lilac, Lavender and Lace (TB24KM7), All that Glitters (TB24KTK)… and Dusk ’til Dawn (TB24KJB)
can stay up to date with what she’s up to and where she has been.

TB24KM7: Lilac, lavender and Lace

TB24KM7: Lilac, lavender and Lace
Activated: 8th June 2008
Current Goal: Of the 4 Cache Agents currently travelling on missions, “Lilac, lavender and Lace” is perhaps the most ‘girly’, she loves soft colours (particularly shades of purple) and she loves flowers… her mission if you choose to accept it.. is to keep her close to nature (she’s allergic to smog etc so please keep her out of high density urban environments). Please post a photo of Lilac, lavender and Lace doing what she does best.. frolicking in flora and fauna :)
“Lilac, lavender and Lace (TB24KM7)” is part of a team of Cache Agents, she is one of 4, the other 3 are: Ocean Blue (TB24KY1), All that Glitters (TB24KTK)… and Dusk ’til Dawn (TB24KJB)

TB24KTK: All that Glitters…

TB24KTK: All that Glitters…
Activated: 8th June 2008
Current Goal: is not gold… but in this case it is ;)
Unlike “Dusk ’til Dawn” (TB24KJB) which travels under the cover of darkness, where ever possible please make sure that “All that Glitters…” travels during the day as she loves the way the sunlight makes her frock sparkle ;)
She’s also quite a home bod though so please make sure she doesn’t travel any further than Australia.

“All that Glitters… (TB24KTK)” is part of a team of Cache Agents, she is one of 4, the other 3 are: Ocean Blue (TB24KY1), Lilac, Lavender and Lace (TB24KM7) and Dusk ’til Dawn (TB24KJB)

TB24KJB: Dusk ’til Dawn

TB24KJB: Dusk ’til Dawn
Activated: 2nd June 2008
Current Goal: Our wee Cache Agent is a bit “out there”… she’s no wallflower (her attire supports this claim) and she thoroughly enjoys a bit of night skulking (she likes the way the moonlight makes her frock glisten ;) so please ONLY take / move / place her under the cover of darkness e.g from dusk until dawn.
