[Nuvi Owners > What is your other GPS?]

I bought the Nuvi 660 first and now I have the Nuvi 60CX for geocaching and very happy with it.

[SD Memory Card]

I got a 2gig card from Newegg for $14 shipped and I recently got the City NavigatorNT 2009 and I just transferred the whole US region and it took only 920 megs of space. I thought that was pretty slick now to fill up the rest of the space with waypoints and maps.

We had a blast at the camp and the picnic. The muscles are sore from the fire tower and the hikes. Who enjoyed that rain last night? I am glad we went and we look forward to the fall picnic and I should have some caches under my belt by then and will have some stories to tell.

Checking the weather reports and depending on what site I go to sounds like there will be rain either on Friday or Saturday or both and the temps are going to be in the chilly side.

 

I need all the help I can get figuring out the GPS unit. I will be there around 6ish. Everyone is welcome to drop by campsite 20 and say Hi to the noob.

I got my new GPS'er today. I am reading the manual as fast as I can. I will be there on Friday around 4ish. I am in campsite 20. So I need help from fellow cachers. I got the Garmin GPSMap 60Cx after doing a lot of research.

[Vista HCX.. where to buy?]

I have been looking to get a gps myself and Amazon sometimes seems to have good deals on the Garmin gps systems. Good luck on your purchase.

This will only be funny to those who know me well. (REALLY well.)

 

I have a lovely tent. It's blue. I have a blue tent. My blue tent is REALLY REALLY large. When we were camping for Trail Mix 12, Deermark affectionately called it "The Condo". My tent is so fancy that it plugs in. I'm cool like that! There are special pocket organizers for all my cosmetics. Since I have a plug in my tent, I can use my hair dryer in my tent and don't have to hog mirror space at the comfort stations.

 

That aside, I was able to snag my tent on 50% clearance last fall. I may be snazzy, but I'm also cheap!

 

Glad to have 'ya as a neighbor, Big Monkey! Your thinks-we-are-crazy-wife can go fishing with my thinks-we-are-crazy-husband! We'll go caching!!!! LOL

 

Ok I took the plunge and reserved a tent. I am on tent site #20 so I am two tents over from Jenischmeni. So I will have to check out the Tent Condo that you have. We got our tent from Wally World a couple weeks back. Since I have never camped before a coworker suggested I get the same type he has. Its a 6 person tent and its pretty tall. I am going to try to get it up when the weather is good. My girlfriend loves to fish so she is looking forward to that. I have to check out if they let animals in that site as we have a mini doxie and she would have fun as well.

 

On another note I have narrowed down my first GPS device. I have a Garmin Nuvi for my car so I like Garmin Products. I have narrowed down my selection to the Garmin GPSMap 60cx or the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx. Any suggestions wouild be helpful? I see in Amazon they are like 30 dollars price difference.

Thank you Jenischmeni and Lakedawgs. I appreicate the welcome. I used to live in Greenwood more like Southport and I sure do miss Indy. I am hoping to move down there next summer. I have a question is it better to get a tent site even though I am like 25 miles from Bluffton. I dont know what to do. I am also trying to do camping with the kids so I might not have the best looking tent if I decide to get a tent site. I take it that everyone is there for the weekend on Friday night and then leave on Sunday morning......

Hello I am new to the GeoCaching scene and I am in Fort Wayne and I will be in attendance. I am trying to get my kids involved in this so they can be outside more and not be playing video games. I hope to see you all there.
