I just bought an etrex vista cx. It has auto routing which works great (as long as you have the maps which can be a bit pricey), but that's just a 1 off expense. It's great to have it guide you to a cache by road, then have it guide you the rest of the way off road.

My closest cache is about half a mile away... and it's driving me crazy! I've tried to reach it twice now from 2 different trails and both times it has ended in a dead end. Basically it's going to require some hardcore bush bashing with a machette or something! I knew it was going to be hard, but this is driving me nuts. I wouldn't even care so much except that it contains 2 TBs that have been stuck in there for about a year and I am determined to rescue them. It is now my mission to rescue to the 2 TBs, and I will succeed!

I was just wondering if anyone could help me regarding cache adoption. Can a cache even be 'adopted'? A recent cache that I visited was extremely water damaged. Upon logging my find I realised that many people before me had reported the damage also. I emailed the cache owner and received a reply back saying that he has been swamped with work and has been unable to give the cache any attention and that he would be happy for me to adopt it if I could find a way. Now that I have permission, I plan to fix it and give it a shiny new container and some nice new swag as well, however, for future damage complaints etc, adoption would be a good idea as emails would come to me and not the current cache owner. This cache is literally around the corner from where I live and is in a great location, so I am more than happy to give it some TLC occasionally. Does anyone know a way for me to do this? Thanks
