  1. I always log my trades in the logbook and on the website. I carry a personal logbook with me that I note the story of the cache find. As a newbie I like to see if my trades are of interest to someone else. Lately I've been leaving a silver half dollar and I'm interested in what someone leaves in trade for them. I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy. NGDB
  2. My first was used as a backup to my compass when backpacking. I quit carrying it because of the weight. Now I have an Etrex and I don't have time to backpack because I'm cacheing. I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy. NGDB
  3. I've kept everything that I've traded for. The 1st was a plastic alligator and after 20 finds my last trade was for a See ya later alligator sticker. I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy. NGDB
  4. I leave a silver half dollar and a few little trinkets. I do try to leave something of interest for both a boy and a girl. Also the more I enjoy the hunt and the cache the better I leave no matter what I find in it. I try to follow the advice I saw on an earlier thread of trade up, trade even but at least trade fair.

  5. I'd rather find a toy snake than a broken toy or some of the garbage that some people leave. I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy. NGDB
  6. I'm 46 and Sabretooth Tiger is 6. I act like I'm 12 and Sabre acts like he's 20. So I guess we average out about 25. I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy. NGDB
  7. That's how I got mine. Is it worth $25? Yes it is when you consider the original price. As for the number of miles when you look at the rest of the items in the catalog there isn't anything that I wanted more. So yes it was worth the money and the miles. BTW it works great. I've used it to find 19 caches so far. I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy. NGDB
  8. I usually leave something with a money theme. A silver Kennedy half dollar is my standard or a few foreign coins. Sometimes a notebook with a $100 on the cover. My grandson Sabretooth Tiger leaves a Rubiks cube keychain. I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy.
  9. I have a Magellan TrailblazerXL that I purchased in 1996. It seems to take forever to initialize. I recently got a yellow Etrex that locks on in minutes if not seconds. Is there an up grade for my Magellan to help it out? Any advice from anyone? Thanks in advance. Beaver96 I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy.

    Tics!

    Ticks can be a problem. Deet products will help repel them but long term exposure has not been studied. Especially on children. I apply in on my clothing. On my socks,the bottom of my jeans, on a bandana that i wear around my neck. This also helps with the mosquitos and other bugs. Just be careful on what type of material you apply it on as deet can destroy some materials. The best policy is to do a complete tick check at the end of the day. Check all spots where tight clothing gives them a place to hide I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy.
