In Illinois on 294 at Willow Road. Easy off and easy on. Just make sure you have 50 cents to pay the toll you can only use change at this one. there is a McDonald's just west of the exit N42 06.567 W87 53.436. I have not done these yet but here are a few. GCH4DQ, GCH4DV, GCH4DT Not sure but i think the first one is about a 1000' north of the McDs. the other two are a little harder only becuse of the lack of parking in that area. Hope this helps! there are more in this area just do a search but not sure how much time you have. Good Luck!

WOW, way to go! Im just getting started 7 to date. How long have you been doing this?

Hi, Just want to know if there are any clubs or get togethers in the Mount Prospect, Illinois area? I know i just missed a breakfast get together and would like to hook up with the group. Sgt D.

I have the Camelbak "MULE". I love it. It is my first pac and I got it for riding my dirt bike. Nothing sucks more then being hot and dehydrated. I now take it on most of my hunts. I find that if you put 3 trays of ice cubes in it and the rest water you will have a NICE COLD drink of water when you need it. As for the taste of the water its fine. Just like any gear you need to take care of it and it will take care of you!

Thanks for the info. i went out today to look for "back to beck" was this a fun first time hunt. i used my etrex to get there. im a outdoor kind of guy and got to the first spot in no time. once there it took me about 30 minutes to find it. WOW walked by it 10 times and looked at that spot 3 or 4 times befor i found it. Camo sure works and its a small tube to find. i had to go (dam cell phone) so i did not have time to look for the next leg.

Hi, Im kind of new to this (geocaching) and am looking to meet up with some people in this area to get some pointers. I own 2 Garmins now, a Emap and a Etrex. l want to get a newer unit and am thinking about the Garmin GPSMAP 60CS. I have ok gps skills but want to lurn all the technical stuff that most dont bother with. I hope to go on my first hunt tomorrow night "back to Beck". I live by Randhurst Mall and if you can help please let me know. Thanks Mike
