hi...ive been using a GPS60 for a couple of years, ive just up graded to a dakota 20. ive not had any problems with the GPS60, its simple to use, great for a first time GPSr. down side: no, its not paperless and its not that great under tree cover. all in all ive enjoyed mine and would recommend it. i upgraded for the paperless caching on the D20. good luck with it if you go for it!!

did anyone watch this last night?? the misses said she watched it and they went geocaching for real! she taped it for me to watch tonight!!

i too recieved my lab geocoin today off ebay (orangecat) its a gift for the misses....she loves it. thanks again

As it happens, in the case of the cache concerned, the first 'needs maintenance' was posted a few weeks ago, not months on end. Since the cache hasn't been linked on the forum, it's easy to assume it has indeed been abandoned for months on end, which simply isn't the case. There are many caches out there with needs maintenance logs going back further than this one. If it wasn't for someone wanting to place a new cache there wouldn't even be a discussion about it here. thanks to everyone here for their advice...seems like i opened a can of worms,some mixed emotions it seems. my intention wasnt to get a cache archived so i could place mine, rather it was to incourage cachers to visit the area. i had spoken to other cachers who decided not to go visit the area due to the logs saying it was missing or in poor condition. sorry if i offended anyone.

i thought only the owner could archive a cache?? owners or reviewers. If you log a Should be Archived log with your reasoning, the reviewers will be alerted and will archive the cache if they consider it appropriate. if its archived, will i then be able to set my cache??

hi guys...im still quite new to geocaching. quick question... what happens when a cache is abandoned by its owner?.. ive found one thats been reported many times as in need of care and attention,and is now missing, but noone seems to be maintaining it. the problem is ive placed a cache in a great spot only to be told that its too close to the cache which has been missing for some time. dont want to move my cache unless i have to any advice? cheers

greetings CC.. glad you got your GPS sorted,sorry i couldnt help much,it all sounds foreign to me!! grats on your 6 finds today...we must organise a day out soon.

i got mine today in blacks manchester fort. planning to release over w/e
