We (arnis357 and KristsT) are two friends, geocachers, who arranged a wager.
1. We buy two geocoins and place them in the same cache - Geocaching Starting Point @ VALMIERA (TB,GC hotel).
2. Geocacher, which geocoin have been traveled more kilometers till 1 June of 2012, will be winner.
3. Loser buy winner as much beers and sousages, as winner is capable of drinking and eating in one evening in Latvia, Valmieras Alus bars.
So please don-t hold this geocoin very long and let it travel as far, as you can. You can log all caches as visited as well.
