Oooh! That is a good breakdown of a few units. The tiny, dark screen is an issue for me (yes, yes, my eye appointment is tomorrow….)

I’m still drooling over the Garmin GPSMAP 60C. Just not sure I want to plunk down that chunk of change (of course, I have almost no willpower, and can be swayed by peer pressure!)

It seems to me that a majority of you all use Garmin devices. That is also a considerations (ya know, I gotta go along with the crowd), of course, I am always willing to do something totally different too.

Again, thanks so much for the input!

I’d love to get the chance to try out some of the other GPSrs at some of the events (although that involves me socializing, which I’m pretty poor at). I tend to eavesdrop more on folks and peek at their GPSrs (hoping one will call to me, “pick me!”) I’ve gleaned a thing or two that way.

I’m so much better on these message boards, where I seem to have no issue whining away!

Again, thank you so much everyone for all your comments!

This is the 60C and it’s really at a good price right now ($270, and a WI seller to boot.) Still in the undecided mode myself, although I have put in my bid on this. The auction ends in about 12 hours.

I’ve been looking at the 60C and CS too. Quite pricey, but intriguing….I like the dedicated geocaching mode!

Thanks everybody for your input (so far, keep it coming!) This has been very interesting for me, as well as educational. I have been looking at the Garmin Legends for a while now, and am sort of leaning that way, but thus far am not committed (that’s a scary word even in reference to a GPS!)

I’ve been making notes from all of your posts and will be doing some research. Keeps the posts coming!!

Thanks!!

Again, this is one of my on call weekends (I have rotten luck!) so I can only at this point say, “maybe.”

Bec

I can add Iowa and Kansas to my list of states. I tried to find 3 different caches in Missouri and all were DNF, so you can’t count them…..

Bec

[greyhounder]

Oh, that’s just sad! At least I can hope that I was looking in the right place where WP 1 once was….

I guess I’ll just wait for you new (and harder???? YIKES!) cache!

Thanks for the update.
Bec

[greyhounder]

Best of luck to you on this one! I will be out of state at that time or I would tag along.

Bec

[greyhounder]

Best wishes on your way to 300! You can do it!!

Bec

[greyhounder]

I can give you a positive maybe on the 20th (again, as long as work doesn’t get in the way)

I’m pretty sure I will be at the event on the 19th, so I will be able to confirm then!

Thanks!!
Bec

[greyhounder]

yes, I have done both dog walks — is WP 1 similar to those?

Oh — an event in Janesville would be great!! There are so many nice parks there!

Russ, if I’m not working on the 19th and you want some company on this cache, I would love to join you on this one. I love learning from the experts!!

Bec

[greyhounder]

WoW!! Fabulous!

Bec

[greyhounder]

At least we don’t have to Americaninze it — as in Freedom Fries! I’m not sure I could come up with a good new, American term…

Bec

[greyhounder]

I completely understand your feeling about the verbing of nouns. But I find myself doing it ALL THE TIME! Not just in relation to goecaching. Perhaps, though, the verb caching is just shortened from the word geocaching?

Hey — as long as we’re not using the “verb” networking, I am VERy happy!

Cache On!
