Status Update: I bought the Garmin eTrex Legend. Thank you ALL for your advice and help. You people ROCK! I thought that I would enjoy the hunt more than anything, but I am starting to see that the hunters are what will make this fun. I look forward to crossing paths with you all again. Doc

Folks, I *really* do appreciate your advice, but after seeing the eTrex suggestions, I looked them up. There are about 20 different kinds. I truly do not yet understand which options or features I will need in this journey. Can you suggest a model? I'll be checking the web for the nearest Best Buy. Thanks again.

I only just heard of geocaching 72 hours ago, and already I think I feel an addiction coming on. The concept seems clear, but when looking for equipment, I am flooded with information about fishing, camping, etc. What I want to know is what type of GPS I need to start this adventure. I don't have a ton of money, and I am eager to start...TODAY. I would order a system, but don't know what I need, nor do I have the patience to wait for the mail to come. Anyone feel my pain and have some useful advice? I will appreciate it all. Thanks, and happy hunting.
