I'd love it! my wife just got me an etrex for my BDay (on the 6th) I REALLY need a case! Spppppt! hey, kid.... pick me zeb

I'm not specificly going to take either side. however I would like to throw something out there. There are people, typicly city folk. who think driving five miles across town to walmart is far. They whine and complain when they have to go to a different one cause the first stop was out of stock. Though I currently live in boise, Idaho... where I really grew up and hope to return to, you have to drive over 3 hours to walmart. and that's pushing 75ish. Countless times we'd get bored on a summer after noon and take the 2 and a half hour trip over the mountains to go to pizza hut. Distance is relative. It's not really one person's place to decided how far, far is to someone else. I'm not going to tell you that your McDonalds on the other side of town isn't far... and I won't tell you that driving 4 hours to get a pizza is far. I'm going to be putting a new cache out this weekend about 150 miles north of here. I travel up there every month. though, the cache will be under 10 feet of snow for 5 months of the year. (hmm, might hang it). either way I'd suggest that general users have more imput about cache maintenance. and as long as current caches are being maintained, let the owner decide how well he can manage another one. I've already got six locations planned for deployment this summer. Places within a 300 mile radius that I travel at least once every three months. Ask my truck, I travel alot. by the way... it's always fun when someone not from the west (and I don't include the west coast in 'the west') comes to visit. ask them if they would like to go to pizza hut? then after an hour (less than halfway) when you are crossing your first mountain pass at 8,000 feet they begin to wonder! again, just something to consider. I'd suggest leeway when someone is approving a cache in the west, unless they know that a 150 mile trip is a short trip across the county and a 300 miles is a nice relaxing sunday afternoon trip. zeb KD7EVS
