Another question-

I got one last month.
If you would, please comment on the ability to read the screen in bright sunlight.
Also- does the unit have a backlight or some other function that allows it’s use in the dark?
Thanks!

My experience is with Palm & Handspring models. Easy to find for less than $100 and my Handspring Visor Deluxe will hold the cache page for every cache in Wisconsin.
Just make sure you get the cradle and software with it for connecting to your PC.
Palm also has a factory outlet site where they re-sell units that have been returned at a nice discount. http://store.palmone.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=1179667
I don’t know how many other Stock Car Racing Fans there are here, but
Friday night racing is at Menomonee, http://www.redcedarracing.com/
Saturday night racing is at Rice Lake and New Richmond (both about 45 min from Wissota) http://www.cedarlakespeedway.com/
and Sunday night is at Eagle Valley Speedway, which is within earshot of the campground. http://racingonline.com/evs/
Each of these nearby tracks offer great multi-class racing on clay ovals.

I’m interested in hearing the vehicle parking situation for both the group camps and the Saturday event.
Generally speaking, if each stage has a seperate logbook, you can log a find for each one that you found.
I guess first we should realize that just because a cache has several “didn’t find” logs, does not mean that it’s missing.
The first step should be to attempt to e-mail the cache owner. If the cache owner has without a doubt abandoned the care and feeding of the cache, then I submit a recommendation to archive the cache. When you recommend archiving, an approver will review the situation and make the final decision. It it helpful to include all valid info in your recommendation. (I.E., owner has not replied to 2 e-mails nor a note posted on the cache page. Cache is missing.)
The only time I would recommend an immediate archive recommendation is if you find that the cache is placed illegally (private property), or property manager or law enforcement requested removal, etc.
I have been known to go through “temporarily disabled” caches and do the same. There is no excuse for a cache to be left disabled for months at a time. Fix it or archive it, it’s the right thing to do.

This is the first time I have laughed aloud while reading the forums in some time. Thanks cacherchick!
I prefer cash…. $10’s and $20’s fit in my pocket easier than a McToy.

Just to make sure there is no confusion…. anyone that wishes to log their finds has that option- just as has been done at every other event cache in Wisconsin.
It should be noted that copying a Garmin, Magellan, or pretty much any CD is a violation of copyright laws, and thus is illegal.
While most of us do or will break the law at some time during out lives, it’s not a good idea to advertise it.
Since you are familiar with the general Garmin layout, I would highly recommend upgrading to a Garmin Etrex Legend. I just came from Gander Mountain, where they have a sale on the Legend with the Topo Map CD for $199. Thats about $100 off normal.
The Legend will store up to 1000 waypoints and upload of detailed maps from your PC. Memory is large enough to contain about 3/4 of Wisconsin in very high detail. There are other units with more memory and color screens, but dollar for dollar, the Legend is dang hard to beat.
Also, if you are an E-bayer, there are some good deals to be had there sometimes. Just remember, any unit that you buy will require an additional $100+ for mapping software if it wasn’t included.
As a side note, does anyone know if the topo software has the same road detail as MetroGuide or Roads & Recreation?

I do write like I speak, just more clearly.
Fact is that although “nice” can be a lot of fun on the outside, it’s often not truthful or factual. Sometimes we need to be told when we are out of line. Is this a problem? Only if we refuse to realize our own faults. After having read what I believe was the post in question, it’s even more baffling to me. There were no four letter words and there was no attack. It was merely the facts, and sometimes the facts are not pretty.
Is doing this through private e-mail a better solution? Sometimes, Perhaps; but by posting to the boards we enable others to participate, which in turn is more likely to reveal who is right or wrong. In the end it’s all about doing what needs to be done. In the future, why not allow the masses of our membership their own right to judge a post instead of allowing one or two the control of everything that takes place within the forums? If not, maybe we should start a private forum for everyone who is not wearing rose-colored glasses.
Perhaps looking more at how to fix problems as they arise instead of ignoring them or covering them up would be a better solution.
I REALLY did not want to add any more to this thread…….
I might be alone on the matter, but I think that auto-routing takes away from the enjoyment of geocaching. If it were not for all the wrong turns I have made driving to a cache site, I would have never seen some very interesting things.
