  1. This is my favorite recipe: MARINATED MUGGLES Marinate skinned, boned muggles in marinade: 1 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper 1/2 tsp. rosemary or thyme 1 or 2 cloves garlic, press (optional) 1/4 c. olive oil
  2. Hi, I found my first 75 or so caches with my old legend gps. In a way, I think it made me get better at using my eyeballs and developing geosense over following an arrow. So if you already have one, use it and enjoy. If you are buying new, collect/save a few more dollars and get a newer model. I recently purchased the Vista HCX and am very pleased with its performance over the legend. The legend now lives in my trunk for backup. Enjoy, Ray
  3. I'm glad you find it useful for you and your friends. That was certainly my intent in making it. May your geocaching adventures be super fantastic! Let me be another voice congratulating you. I've passed the link along to some friends that don't quite get it yet. Thanks! Ray
  4. Hi, I guess I qualify as a noob, made 2 finds earlier today, for a total of 24 finds. I carefully read all the previous posts, and have nodded in agreement several times, and shook my head at others. I've had a portable GPSr for years, as a backup on my boat (other hobby). I was sitting in my computer room(other hobby) trying to think of something to do, because football season was over(other hobby) and it's not yet golf season(other hobby), and it's too cold to go for a ride with the top down (yet another hobby). Yep, I could have turned on my ham radio(yes, I do that too), but I was really trying to think of something to get me outdoors and hiking. I did some googling and found this site. Purchased a premium membership and found 3 caches on my first day (for the record, since others did the same 1=reg size, between rocks at a park, 2=reg size near a playground, 3=micro in guardrail). My main complaints with this newest hobby, and by proxy, this web site of our community : Web site user interface - let's face it, it's dated. With advances that we are accustomed to on facebook, myspace, google widgets, the interface here is not quite up to par. pocket queries - truly archaic. The data format, the limitations, with some minor tweaking, the UI could be bearable. e.g. Use radio buttons for either/or parameters. demands for quality written logs of how wonderful the cache search was. As hard as it may seem to believe, I don't really enjoy typing long messages about caches I find. so far, its a very solo activity, I have managed to meet a few people at the local REI. There is a social event in a few months, I'm looking forward to that. So that is my $.02 worth. It is a fun hobby and game!!! PS. I would be glad to discuss any of the web/UI thoughts, drop me an email. PPS. If you think it's your breath, it probably is
  5. I've been driving 2 seat convertibles for the last 10+ years. It's been a long and enjoyable mid-life crisis !! Ray
  6. Speaking of vandalism, is that much of a problem for anyone? I drive a little sports car, insured, of course, I'd be afraid to post a pic next to these awesome trucks, they could carry my car in the back. so I do worry about it a little. Not too much, just a little, lol.
  7. This seems to happen to all Blue E-trex's. The fix is to remove batteries for a few seconds, then re-boot. It sucks, but I've seen that line on every Blue Legend. I also just picked up a eTrex Legend ($40 on clearance @ wallyworld). First day, got the vertical line, popped batteries out and back in and have not had it come back yet. I need to read up on what maps this can use for both roads and for topo. I may use this as a poor mans atlas when driving distances if possible and plan to use the unit when mountain biking in Colorado. Any suggestions on user groups, websites, etc. to help maximize what I can do with this unit? To the OP, if I find a good, low-priced set of topo maps online, I'll pass a link. Interesting to see, this happened for the first time yesterday, I've owned the unit for several years now. I did same as others, remove batteries and restart, all is well again. Enjoy the game. Ray
