Jake's Geocache: And the winners are...

Tappa154 Oregoncoin

Well loyal blog readers – we’ve read the comments, had a lot of laughs, and finally made a decision or two about divvying up our rewards. For those of you tuned in to the Great 2008 Tupperware® Scandal, you know that Scooter offered up Jake’s casserole keeper and a geocoin while Jake was pedaling from booth to booth at Interbike. Jake, realizing he’d either have to pony up for a new pasta porter or risk life and limb when he returned home sans Tupperware® quickly replied with an offer of his own. And that’s when things started to get interesting. Fortunately, our good friends over at Groundspeak – who happen to know a thing or two about geocaching – came to Jake’s rescue with a more-than-generous offer of cache containers for a few lucky commenters. So instead of shipping out leftover lunchware to one person, we’ve got three purpose-built cache keepers that we’ll be sending out. And we’re still making good on our promise of geocoins, too. So without further adieu, here’s our list of lucky commenters:

ScooterInterbike Joshua Abel is Scooter's choice, winning a cache container and a Colorado/Wherigo geocoin. John J. Grace is Jake's pick, earning him three Oregon/Wherigo geocoins. Our honorable mention nods go to Occam (cache container and Colorado coin), J.R. (cache container and Oregon coin) and Jonathan (Oregon coin and Colorado coin). We'll be contacting the winners via email - so be on the lookout.

Thanks to each and every one of you who left a comment and helped keep us entertained during the week. And for all of you who expressed a direct interest in Jake’s Tupperware® - stay tuned. Because while the Tupperware® is still in the office . . . it’s not in Jake’s possession.

Just wanted to let you know that I dropped the geocoin (okay, a replica) off.

Here's the link to the coin on geocaching.com:

I haven't yet used the container...

Here it is:

Wow, it's *so* cool to win. In the words of an Oscar winner from several years back, "I'd like to thank everyone I ever met." That said, I'm curious to see what happens to the real Tupperware!

Hi 0ccam -

Please forgive the 'O'/'0' mix up. In an effort to get the news out, we may have flip-flopped a few letters/numbers. But you were picked from the entries as well. We'll be sending out the 'official-official' emails in the next day or so. Thanks again and congrats!

I can't wait either! Except I hope it's me....I use a zero and you used an "O"...

Hi Josh -

We're glad you're so excited and we're happy to break your "I never win anything" streak! You'll have to let us know where you place your new cache - and don't worry - I won't steal your Tupperware®! Thanks again for your comments. We had a great time reading them. Congrats!

I never win anything! I'm super excited!, the Colorado/Wherigo geocoin will match my Colorado 400t perfectly! and the geocache container will make a great new cache! I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait! Thanks so much!
