The Official 2007 | |||
 |
||||
| This is the official geocoin of the 2007 Geocaching Rally held by the Great Basin and Eastern Sierra Geocachers on June 15-16. GBES Member “Ranger John” Keesee created the “Petro-Dude” using images of actual petroglyphs from the Fremont Indians and other ancient tribes of the Western United States. “Ranger John” came up with a unique twist--he superimposed the image of one of those ancients on a map of Nevada and placed a GPS receiver in its hand. The signal from that receiver is depicted heading into space seeking a satellite. The Petro-Dude, or “The Dude” for short, has become the signature icon for GBES and is used on all group materials, gear and awards. The back of the coin shows the silhouette of a miner and his pack mule with two old cemetery monuments superimposed over a view of Mt Davidson, perched high above historic Virginia City. The coin finish is brushed silver with an epoxy coating. Coins are trackable and the Petro-Dude icon will show in the inventory on your Geocaching.com page. There is a limit of 20 coins per person, while supplies last. Click a coin for a larger view. | ||||
