Coba – Mexico

Wow…  just got this email.   Small World !    Somehow this Brit and her crazy climbing boyfriend reached the Top of the COBA pyramid, climbed way up the back of the chamber on top and found the Sam Stone we had  stretched high (so we thought !) and placed on a small ledge.    Peter is pretty tall (~6'7") and he extended his arm fully as well…. this was ~9+ feet high on that Chamber wall behind a do not cross rope.   Maybe wind/rain knocked the stone off the ledge…

Sam's story continues to Travel !    Unfortunately that Stone's view from the Top of the COBA pyramid is no longer.

So John… we need some more Stones !     Karen, Peter, and I will be in the Rockies (Colorado & Utah) in March doing some skiing, maybe a well placed stone above ~12,000 feet would be "unique".

Hello Edwards Family
 
Myself and my partner recently visited Mexico for Christmas and New Year, while in Mexico we visited Coba and believe after visiting the Sam Stones website we may have found one of your Sam stones which was place in February 2011.
 
My partner and I climbed Coba and my partner decided to go behind the monument and found the Sam stone, which was quite bizarre as my name is Sam.
 
When he gave it to me I thought he had bought it from somewhere until we visited the website and read about Sam and his Story.
 
For now the Sam Stone has returned with us back the New Swannington in England, however when we travel again we will take it with us and place it for someone else to discover and read about Sam's Story.
 
Best Regards
 
Sam and Noel
