    What are Overland Bound Challenge Coins?

    This is a great idea. I got my member coin in the mail the other day. Thanks. Maybe even a coin for Geocaching that could be tracked. I have done a little bit of Geocaching, but not enough to be good at it. Have some members build and place OB based caches around the country. Todd
