  1. My perspective at the time the two men and the dog approached. #1, The distant observer could have found my activities suspicious. Not only had I tossed some material out of a hiding spot but I also placed a thick, dark 14 inch object there (a water bottle). I had also been "hanging around" for a good hour before then approached. #2, I prefer to be an Ambassador for Geocaching rather than an antagonist, the smart ars, or confrontational with the citizens I encounter. IMO I would rather to have people understand that there is no harm being done, rather than walking away thinking, "Boy, he was sure a jerk." #3, I had no reason not to believe that the man and his dog were in the park using the off leash area and the timing of everything just happened the way it did. I also mentioned in my initial post that I recognized the guy and his dog from my part-time job in the Pet supply store. When I met him that time in the store, he was in some kind of uniform and the dog had the same "official" vest on. #4, I had a 9 mm pistol under my sweatshirt on my hip. I legally conceal carry. When I am in public with a concealed weapon I take a very non-confrontational stance with the public and any "officials" I encounter. It is my training to avoid making a situation worse than it needs to be and tip the scale into having to potentially use my weapon. Again, back to rather being the Ambassador than the jerk. Very well said. IMHO, you reacted very appropriately.
  2. Wow, the folks in Poland really know how to throw in some swag!!!
  3. That is some funny stuff right there. You guys must have a lot of love to be going to so much effort to bust on each other like that...
  4. 29 years in the Navy and still going. I'm seriously considering making a career out of it...
  5. If you mark your container clearly as "INERT" and add some contact information, the EOD folks will make contact before demo'ing in place.
  6. I already have City Nav on my PC and in my Quest, but have to buy a new version to go into the 400t.
  7. I already have it on my laptop for use with my Quest, so the question for this device is whether or not I would be able to use the extra space on a 4 gig micro-SD card.
  8. Was wondering if it is better to get City Navigator on micro-SD card or on DVD and a 4gig SD micro. Does a larger SD gain me anything?
  9. You are most awesome... Thank you!
  10. I could have sworn I saw an option somewhere to build a pocket query to return caches along a route. Now that I'm getting ready to take a trip, I can't find it. Does this capability exist and if so, where/how? Thanks! Greg
  11. Garmin Oregon 400t has topo maps and you can get them for most countries.
  12. Doesn't the unlock code just unlock the software on the PC?
  13. I have several garmin products including a Quest I bought several months ago. I'm considering buying a 400t for geocaching and am wondering if anyone knows whether I will be able to use the mapsource and Quest City Navigator that I already have or if I'd have to buy a new set of city navigator maps just for the 400t? If I have to buy new maps, will the mapsource on my pc be able to accomodate both. If not, will I just need a micro-sd card? Thanks inn advance! Greg
