Somehow the term ‘newbie’ has always had a condescending sound to me, regardless of what the person was new at. I saw ‘neocacher’ in a book recently and I thought that was pretty cool. Just my penny’s worth…
According to the article I read on cnn.com, the signal will not only be stronger, there’ll be a second signal for civilians, like the military has had from the beginning, to correct for interference from the ionosphere. More satellites will have to be deployed to realize the benefit, but I can see a new receiver in our future.
We both have moms of the same age. We can only imagine your distress and we are both glad she has been found and that, hopefully, all is well.

With so many great places to hide a cache that are less controversial, why is this even an issue? “Different strokes for different folks”, but I can’t imagine hunting a cache in a Wal-Mart parking lot offering much aesthetic value.
Yes, you can manually enter coordinates.
If you go to Garmin’s Website, the user’s manual is downloadable from the 60C page. Save it to your hard drive and you’ll have it handy for reference in the future.
I’m sure you can get a hard copy from them, too, for a charge.
Hope that helps!

I’m really glad I’m not their network administrator! And on a holiday weekend, too. Ouch!
A belated congratulations to you! What an accomplishment. We wholeheartedly agree with jthorson, Chuck and Jan are two of the nicest people you could ever meet.

The FugawiI found three last night while searching for caches within 30 miles of Willow Flowage in Oneida county. One is Fishing Paradise, GCKP43, another is There and Back Again – A Geocacher’s Tale, GCJZTP, and the third is Turtles Beach Rock, GC7C12. There are probably more in that area. We hope to hunt as many as we can on vacation.

I’ll try to help you get started. When you bring up the map, click on the area you’re interested in until it shows enough detail to click on individual cache icons. At the top of the page, under Cache Map: Wisconsin, click on the Identify circle. Now, click on a cache and the name of the cache is shown. Below the map, the name of the cache will appear as a link; click on it and you’ll go to the page for that cache.
On the geocaching homepage is a link on the left side to Hide & Seek A Cache. Click on it and you can search for caches using several different criteria.
Hope this helps a bit.

Now I have one… I’ve noticed JLTC in logs lately. I can think of possible translations, but I’m wondering what the correct one is.
Thanks, Ootek
We have a 76S and a 76C. I have to agree with the others who advise the compass isn’t worth the extra money. For the price difference, you could get a good compass and have a lot money to spare. Our compass is very fussy about being held exactly level, something that’s tough to do when you’re walking. We only use it when we’ve forgotten the Silva at home.

Good Grief! What next?? No, wait… I don’t even want to know.
T&tb, as someone who supports a network for a living (I must hate myself), I love your poem and I’m going to send it to all my colleagues tomorrow!
Geocaching provides the perfect way for me to decompress. When I’m hunting a cache, I’m completely immersed in the experience and forget about everything else, especially my work. I come home feeling physically and mentally rejuvenated
