Where and When

10/16/10 I found one of your coins on a bike path next to the Great Miami River in southwest Ohio. Miamisburg, Ohio to be more specific. Found it around April 20, 2010. It was placed in the middle of a spray-painted mile marker on the ground at the bend in the road of the bikepath. Sunshine floods your face as you come around that bend. Several people walked over this coin but for some reason, only I saw it. I looked up your website and learned about your club. Awesome! I’m headed to Italy this week and plan to leave the coin in Rome or perhaps in the Tuscan countryside near Lake Trasemino. Hope someone carries on the legacy. What a great way to remember your friends. Susan A. Baker Miamisburg, Ohio USA

Earl Just got back from Germany. (10/7/10) I deposited the coin at an Inn in Eibsee, about 8 kilometers from Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria. I placed it on the mantel over the fireplace. My wife, Marycarol, and I tried to get to the top of Germany’s highest mountain, the Zugspitze, but it was clouded in and raining. So we had lunch at the base of the Zugspitze, where you get the cable car, and placed the coin there. Hopefully you’ll hear back from from its finder! Don Lenahan, Bar Harbor

Greetings, My daughter (Earthbound AT, 08 and I were section hiking in Maine’s 100 mile wilderness on 7/31/10. Toward the top of Nesuntabunt Mt. we walked over to a ledge to catch a great view of Katahdin. In addition we also found one of your brass coins. The coin serves as reminder of the pristine beauty of Maine and also a wonderful dayhiking with my daughter. Thank You, Bonjour, Wesley Pruett

Hello MRCC, I just found one of your coins on 5/21/10 placed on a rock on the north ridge trail going up Cadillac Mountain in Acadia. I just thought I’d look up the coin on the Internet and found you. I have spent my whole life fishing and exploring the Moose River as well as the lake and other brooks and streams in the Moosehead Lake area. Who knows, we have probably run into each other at one point. Now I will be looking for you and your coins. I will probably place this coin on Mount Kineo.

Greetings MRCC brothers I recently 5/10/10 placed one coin under an overhang on a cliff in Zion Canyon on the Overlook Trail in Zion National Park. I also left one near the Colorado River at Lee’s Ferry in an area called Paria Canyon-Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness Area. They are in obvious spots but you have to get out of your car and walk a couple miles. Steve Moore, Bar Harbor, Maine

Hi, I found one of your coins last night 12/02/09 at the University of Maine at Orono. It was inside of the Collins Center of Arts. So I looked up what the coin was and saw that it was a part of your club. After looking at your website I noticed that most (seems like all) coins were found in the wilderness, I hiked Katahdin and Bigelow about two months ago. Ed.

Jorge Mendez found a coin in a canyon in Wyoming on Aug. 30, 2009. “I was riding my bycicle off the trail by a canyon here in Wyoming and by a wind mill I came across one of the MRCC coins! I was super thrilled and wondered what it was and I went online and am surprised and ready to put the coin somewhere new. Hope someone finds it and want to see where it ends up!”

Hello MRCC Members, I’d like to let you know that I found one of your MRCC coins left on a rock at Eagle Lake on May 15th about 2:00 PM. I had just finished a carriage path walk from Eagle Lake Parking lot over to Duck Brook and Witch Hole Pond looking for migrating spring warblers. I was to meet my husband who was biking the Around Mtn. loop and Eagle Lake loop and decided to sit on the stone bench that is past the boat launch area at the lake to wait and enjoy the view when I spotted the coin on a rock in front of me. My husband and I live in Connecticut and have traveled to Acadia every year for the past 20 or so. Now that we have retired we go up to Acadia three times a year - Spring, Summer and Fall- and we’re still always awed by it’s beauty. We’ll be going to VA to bike the New River Trail ( another yearly event for us) in Sept. and I plan to leave my coin somewhere along the trail. I look forward to reading about someone finding it and reporting it. Happy Trails, Linda Barnes
