I will be at Cacheapalooza 5 http://coord.info/GC2C575 for sure! My dad (Eat Mor Chikin) is helping set it up, and I might be involved in placing about 10 caches for the event. We've cached at JDSP twice, but only managed to get about 50 of them. (They archive and relaunch about 200 caches a year at the annual Cacheapalooza event in the park.) Will be a first Event cache for me, totally looking forward to it!! I live in Tampa, anybody who wants to carpool over there is totally welcome!

I totally agree!! I got my refurbished Nuvi 255w from CompUSA.com and I LOVE it. It works well and was super cheap. After tax & shipping plus a $10 three month premium membership, total cost to go paperless was just under $150. Sure you have to go back online and log the finds when you get home, but that's half the fun anyway! It does have its weak points, it is not very accurate at times. I can rely on the zoomed in map view, but that's only useful if I'm near a street. I'm sure many caches in state parks or nature trails would be harder to pinpoint this way. But with a little intuition and studying your surroundings you can find the caches pretty quickly. The fact that it holds an unlimited number of caches with full description/logs/hints is what won it for me. I can literally drive down the road and bing - bing - bing it tells me when caches are nearby!
