  1. I have used the eTrex for over a year and like it a lot. I used a seral cable for entering waypoints, so that made my life easier.

     

    I just got a 60, and like it better. The "compass" screen is nice since I can configure the display to show the fields I am interested in (distance to next, speed, time to next, etc). I don't have to keep switching pages or fields.

     

    I got mine at MegaGPS for ~150 + shipping. I think Amazon had it for about the same price.

  2. Do you have any online auction profile that might show a 'feedback' rating?  No offense, but I think of this as a little 'insurance' when dealing with an unknown party.

     

    Unfortunately, I just closed out my ebay account - I hadn't used it in about a year! When it closed I had about 90 positives, and no negatives (buying and selling). Not that you have any reason to believe me though ;)

     

    However, if you go to the New England Forum, and ask about me, I am sure you will get at least a few people to vouch for me. Not that you have any reason to believe them, either :D

     

    Let me know if you are still interested, or if there is anything I can do to allay any concerns you may have.

  3. I just upgraded, and I am looking to sell my Garmin eTrex (Yellow) receiver. It is in very good condition. I have had it just over a year and have found over 175 caches with it, in 12 states and in Germany.

     

    It comes with a serial data cable. The cable is not the Garmin factory cable, but one made with a pfranc connector. The cable was made by people who make cables for a living, and is at least as good as the one from Garmin. I can send pictures if you are interested. I use Easy GPS to manage and transfer waypoints to and from the receiver using the cable.

     

    I have the manual, quickstart guide and the wrist strap as well.

     

    This is a great unit for beginners - it's small, easy to use, and at this price, inexpensive.

     

    I am asking for $65 for the receiver and cable. Shipping will be $3.95 (Priority). Please contact me through my profile. I will only ship in the US, and cashier's check or Money Order only will be accepted.

  4. Due to a drastic cut in funding this coming fiscal year, my job will not be taking me to Draper Labs in Cambridge, MA any more. Because of this, I am looking for someone to adopt my Fort Washington Cache (GCND4V).

     

    It is a micro in a very cool little, historic, park. Let me know if you are interested. The container has migrated slightly at the location, and it appears the log is nearly full. I can provide details as to where the cache is located, and a Word document with a log sheet.

     

    Thanks!

  5. I agree with the sentiment of not leaving, and having the women call the police right then and there.

     

    Of course, when I do these types of caches, I bring my "cover" with me - Pigs #2 & 3! You blend right in with the little ones, and no one seems to bother you.

  6. Almost all of my chaches have had a theme.

     

    Last October I started my series of Holiday themed caches. My first was a Hallowwen cache, dragging the cachers through several historical cemeteries. A large group decided to hunt it down Halloween night (~midnight!). I've got most of themajor holidays covered, so I have to start on the lesser ones (Arbor Day, etc).

     

    I also have a couple of other non-holiday theme caches, like my Barrel of Monkeys which started off with barrel of monkey key-chains.

     

    I state that trade items in theme are appreciated, but not required.
