I'm new to geocaching, and haven't yet been able to afford my own GPS, instead relying on the generosity of friends and borrowed equipment.
I was out searching for a cache using a borrowed compass from a crackerjack box, traipsing through the leaves (some were really deep!), when I look down and see a Etrex Vista just laying there on top of the leaves in plain sight!
I picked it up to examine it, and I discovered that it was programmed to find the cache for which I was searching! Wow, double lucky!
I'm just giddy with excitement by this time... so much so I can't even concentrate on finding the cache, so I decide to leave the woods and pursue this cache at a different time.
I got all the way out to my truck when I realize that I have lost the compass I was originally using! It must have fallen out of my pocket when I bent over to pick up the Etrex. It was decided not to lift a finger to look for it (not my decision), and besides, some of the leaves were really deep!
Which brings me to the real purpose of my post: I'm looking for somebody to contribute a free compass, crackerjack box variety or better, for me to return to my friend. I might be able to cover your postage.
Oh yeah... APRIL FOOLS!!!
