I think the small models are a great idea. I know my son will makeme go after those caches! Not that he’d have to twist my arm very hard though. 😀

Thanks for the great deal on those boxes! They are in better shape than the ones I’ve been buying at Sherpers, and less then half the cost!!!

[TyeDyeSkyGuy]

Awesome achievment! You can make 5000 before New Year right??? 🙂

Congrats Roger. You doubled your total in a very short time. Simply amazing.

Jeremy, don’t you need a set for your ankles?

No I already get those for free from the state. They cost the taxpayers a lot more than 69 bucks though… the good thing about the ankle units is that I can just call my PO and he can check his computer and tell me if I am near any caches.

Don’t count on Magellans help much. Although I love their GPS’s, their customer service seems lacking at best.

I’ve e-mailed customer service 3 times, and called them twice, spending a total of almost an hour on the phone being bounced all over from department to department, and still don’t have a solution to my simple problem. All I want is to purchase a new window for my GPS, and they can’t seem to help. 2 months I’ve been waiting, and still no answers.

Well at least it’s still waterproof, even with a, inch and a half crack in it.

Just an FYI

I like alkaline batteries for one reason. Any time in the past that I’ve used rechargeable batteries (AA, AAA, C or D not phone bats and such) after many re-charges they always start to leak. The last place I want my batteries to leak is in an expensive piece of equipment like my GPSr. So, I stick to alkaline.

Here is the FYI:

Woodmans Grocery store (and some others) carry overstocked batteries from Toy’s R Us after Christmas every year. You can buy a box of 48 Rayovac Maximum Plus batteries for just $5. They usually get them about mid January. I pick up 4 at a time. It’s all the batteries I can use in a year. I still have about 30 left from last years purchase!

Great for GPSr’s, even better for the kids toys… but bad for the environment. Please recycle your batteries!

Great job Brain. You represented the WGA and it’s members very well.

[TyeDyeSkyGuy]

You, thats right. Jeff hit 1500 at “FEAR” today!!!

Congratualtions Jeff! We had a great time!!!

[TyeDyeSkyGuy]

Last time I called there he had one 50 cal can and it was $15.00. That was about 2 months ago. 😯

[TyeDyeSkyGuy]

Thanks for everything Brian. Enjoy the retirement. You should have much more time for caching now.

[TyeDyeSkyGuy]

Uhm… NO!

by any chance did you drop your keyboard in the sink with your GPSr?

No, just my brain. 😆

One of the first things I did with my Magellan Meridian Color was test it’s water resistance. One of the very forst caches I did was while it was snowing. Every time I looked back down at the GPSr, the face was cvered in snaw. And, when I wiped the snaow away, fog would form, but on the outside of the lense.

As soon as I got home I checked the unit over, and it was dry inside. So, I tested it further. I filled the kitchen sink and sunk it. I hekld it there for a minute, brought it up and it was fine.

Since then, whenever the unit gets dirty from a llong day on the trails, I wash it with dishwashing soap and water.
