Hello – It’s been awhile since I’ve placed a stone. I was down at the
Haceta Head Lighthouse on the Oregon Coast (north of Florence, OR),
and placed a stone at the base of the lighthouse. Here’s a photo of
the lighthouse from the south. Did you know that each lighthouse has a
different signal, so that boats can know exactly which lighthouse
they’re looking at based on the signal?  I didn’t know that until this
trip. The signal at Haceta Head is for the light to flash every 10
seconds. I can send you the photo of the placed stone itself if you
remind me of your email address.

We found this in Northern Cheyenne and plan on giving it to family
when they come next week to take back to Missouri and place in a new
cache! 🙂 Love this idea!

I think a 14 year old would just LOVE this place so I put a SamStone
at  N 37°34.789 W 092°02.045 in the geocache located there.  The
place is a civil war era farm known as Piney River Heritage Farm
located in the Mark Twain National Forest. It is being preserved by
volunteer effort of an organization known as Passport in Time.  Way
cool. Picture on FB at

John,

That was a facebook image I posted but I suspect it is some of FB’s ‘dark matter’ now. Try this one. I thought I had one taken at ground zero which shows the hills better but this one of the old civil war era farm house is a good one. A very typical old mid 1800’s missouri farm that the forest service normally just burns down. This one got saved with the help of some local volunteers. It was quite a discovery for my wife and I yesterday and I’ve frequented that area of the national forest for years!

Cheers..

Hi John,
tried to add a SamStone via the samstones.org page but got an error so
sending details via email just in case it did not make it.

While out skiing we came across a lovely location to place a Samstone.
It sits on top of a cairn to help walkers and skiers find their way. It
is located on the Glacier du Grand Pisaillas near Val D’Isere in the
French Alps.

Hi John,

today I enjoyed a great day out with two colleagues who took me from Beijing to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City in Beijing (parts of it as we were late) and the Heaven Temple. I found a spot for a SamStone on the great wall on top of a tower. See my story below:

This is my story:

“While enjoying a free day during my stay in China, two friendly colleagues took me to the Great Wall at Juyongguan / Juyong Pass, which used to be a military stronghold north of Beijing (http://www.beijingholiday.com/beijing-map/juyongguan-great-wall.html). We climbed up a steep part of the Great Wall to the first tower – you can see it in the picture (the arrow points at it). I found a nice place for a SamStone in a loophole of the tower. In fact, the SamStone went down a little slit in the stone so that you can still see it, but it’s not too obvious. The picture shows the SamStone on top of the slit.

By the way, Mao Zedong said who has not been to the Great Wall is not a good man…well, Sam is there now.”

Hi John,

I placed my next SamStone, but as I’m in China right now the upload to your website apparently does not work (or at least does not work all the time).

This is my story:

When I was in India last week – actually for the first time – I didn’t have much time to see the “real India” … too much commuting between hotel and office. However, I found a nice place in a beautiful garden in Bangalore off Mahatma Gandhi road for a SamStone – underneath a Frangipani tree. I hope Sam likes it…”
