Hey all,
I know it’s been a bit since I last wrote here. Life has been pretty busy lately and I wish I could say it was all caching related but it’s not.
My attempt at caching last weekend ended in a DNF more so because there were so many muggles and I can’t stand trying to be sneaky in a campground 
Too many tents within 25 feet and lots of people walking around. Oh well saved for another day I guess. However the dogs and I did enjoy ourselves!
Real life work has been very busy and then I come home to work on coin stuff and getting ready for Geocoinfest. 2 months may seem like a far off time frame but when it comes to coins, it’s nice to have an extra week or so of a buffer since it takes about 2 months to get a coin done if all goes smoothly. I must have 6 or 7 coins right now, all in different stages with the mint and then working trying to get my booth stuff ordered/designed and help arranged seems to be taking up all my time. It got so bad lately that I actually contemplated quitting caching and coins and I’m serious about that. I’m used to only working on 1 design at a time that this has become a real chore and sapping all my free time. But in the end, I’ll probably be happy I did it and thank goodness I won’t have to do it again for awhile!
Cache Hoppers and the Anasazi should be arriving in the next couple of weeks (Anasazi GCF versions). Neptunes Compass and ET Oceania remint versions are on order and I expect them to be in late August. The Hoo Doo coin which has not been seen by anyone is close to being approved but I will say this; 1 version is almost entirely GLOW! I’ve never used glow enamels before but this one is going to look so cool in the dark. This coins was done exclusively for GCF also and the Glow version will be an exclusive there so if you’re not going, I’d find someone to buy a version for you!
The Baby ET will have an order put in by weeks end and will be offered at a reasonable price to encourage releases 
and the Armadillo has been sent in (a bit behind schedule) so I’m hoping that will be done in time for GCF. I don’t know if Pax will be done in time or not but I”m leaning toward not because I just haven’t had enough time to correct the mint artwork and I don’t want him done in anythng less than 100%. Libelula is riding the fence, I have the artwork done but I’m not sure if I’ll mint that one for GCF or not. This stuff isn’t cheap especially after adding tracking numbers so we’ll see.
Hopefully this weekend I can get out andplay a little bit but my truck has been under the weather and once I get her fixed, I should be able to get back in the mountains!
I shall be back this weekend with another post! Thanks for reading and have a great week all.

Hang in there tsun! sometimes taking on more than you think you can handle works out, and in any case it is a learning experience. You’ll find your comfortable level of activity.
