A friend introduced me to this forum, and www.geocaching.com about a year ago. She's a homeschooler, and sent the link as a fun thing to do with the kids. As a Girl Scout leader, I immediately saw the many, many things I could do with my girls in geocaching. I've been reading posts, many of the cache information, and updates on units for months, and I finally took the step. I bought my GPS this afternoon, and while I'm sitting here typing to you, I'm listening to my video in the background.
I ended up with the Garmin eTrex Legend. It seemed very user friendly, and although it doesn't have all of the bells and whistles, it is very functional for what I'm using it for. If I end up becoming a die hard, then I'll pass this one down to my DH and get a different one for me. My dad has the eTrex, and he loves it.
I'm going to try to set up some waypoints, and see if we can locate some caches tomorrow after church. Wish me luck! And THANK YOU for the wonderful information. I'm excited to get started!
