I've already done THAT walking the dog. Yuck! I wish people would refrain from dumping bodies in the Lake Worth canals...

Just added MapSource today. Bad news: Sports Authority sold me a verson that was FOUR years old! Good news: Called Garmin, they are sending me a NEW version! Yay!

Well, the thing must work, as I found my first three caches today. I think this is fun! My husband does not. My dog definitely approves. Already have some good ideas for hiding caches. Hubby is going along so I don't do this alone, but I might do some solo cache hunting in public parks and such. Otherwise, he can just come along and be a poop. Flying to Texas tomorrow, gonna check out some caches near Lake Dallas, Texas. I think my hunny wishes he got me the 40G iPod instead...

As a former airline pilot, I can say this: 1. All that stuff that the airlines says you can't play with in the back of the plane, we play with in the front 2. No, all those GPS and cell phones will not cause the plane to crash. The airlines (not the government) don't want youto use them because: a. They want you to pay to use the ultra-expensive inflight phones on the plane b. They don't want you to compare your GPS to what the pilot says s/he is flying (not that I would personally care) c. Legit reason for banning all stuff (cd players etc) on takeoff: so you can hear the flight attendants command an evacuation, and so that all this equipment everyone would be using doesn't end up blocking people from evacuating the aircraft. 3. If you want to use your GPS on an airline, just be discreet about it. If a flight attendant asks you to turn it off then just do so. Don't argue. It isn't worth getting fined or arrested over (yes this stuff unfortunately happens) I can't count the number of times I've forgotten to turn off my cell phone to hear it start ringing on the takeoff roll....

Happy B-day to you too!

My husband bought me a Garmin eTrex Vista for my birthday. Is this thing any good for geocaching? (Duh, I'm new to this.)
