When day turns to night, leave Texas right!
This geocoin was created to commemorate two eclipses crisscrossing the heart of Texas in the span of 6 months: an annular solar eclipse, sometimes called a 'ring of fire', on October 14, 2023, and a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.
One hundred trackable geocoins have been registered at geocaching.com.
The
coins were originally placed in various Texas A&M Forest Service
geocaches and other public geocaches across the state. Geocachers are
able to locate, move and log these trackable coins.
Since their release, Texas Eclipse geocoins have:
- Visited 18 states (plus the District of Columbia)
- Been found in 4 different countries
- Traveled over 53,000 miles (more than 2 times around the earth!)
