This light is unique from surefire because it has 2 powers. A low power (20 lumens) for close up work lke reading maps or your GPSr or for searching trees up close without drawing too much attention from mugglers. And A high power (140 lumens) prefocused brillant white beam. On low power the light will run for about 2.5 hours and on high it has a run time of 40minutes. The batteries will recharge in under 2 hours. To tuen the light on you can either push on the tail cap for momentary lighting of twist the tail cap for constant on. This light retails for $258.00. Let me know if anybody is interestred.

  3. I wsa just curious if anybody else uses their GPS for anything other than the standard geocaching or hiking.

     

    For instance I use my GPS in my truck when I snowplow. I mark hazards in the parking lots such as holes or raised sewer grates, broken light pole bases, parking stops, before the snow falls. I can then set a proximity alarm for them or just leave the unit in mapping mode when I plow. This way I have a moving map on my dashboard of anything hidden under the snow that could make my night expensive or painful.

     

    Just curious if anybody else finds quirky uses for their units.

  4. Thought about all that allready. Most of that is taken care of. Did some talking to not only the owner of my campground but also a near by land owner. That aspect is cleared. Speaking of the other caches you menchoned I just visited those this weekend, and wow. I was really impressed with them. If anybody is in the are it is worth checking those 3 nearby caches out.

  5. I agree. It's a good rule of thumb to trade up. You know leave the cache a litle richer than you found it. There is no perfect trade item. Just try to trade atleast eavenly. and always always always remember adult stuff is good. But make sure you trade things you wouldn;t mind if your kids found. This is considered a family sport. Geo caching isn't really about what you take or leave, it's more about spending time with your family and friends and the thrill of the hunt. I normally only sign the logs and TNLN.

  6. This river is pretty shallow so it's mostly canoes and inertubers that go down it. It would be mostly accessable for river goers but anyone in the area would be able to hike to them. This is a major campground town down here so I think they would get alot of visits. I don't know yet if I would make them a multi cache or just a few placed alon the river route. I just started taussing the thought around of placing my own. I thnk I would just make a few tradition caches. Traveling down the river in a valley it would probally be easy to pass up part of a multi and be extremely hard to go back upstream to get back to it.

  7. I have a camper parked down in Mohican Ohio, right on the river. This is a incrediably busy area for rafters and canoe'ers(sp). I was thinking of placing several caches along the river so canoers could do some caching as well. Anybody have any feedback on this. Would I just be wasting time or does this sound like something that would be fun to do.

  8. Your just looking to make the numbers bigger correct?

    I have a e trex legend and I think you;ll have the same screen I have. You should have a screen called "trip computer" Go to this page.

    At top of page go to left most icon and select it

    select Large Numbers(or something like that)

    you can then scroll down to one of the fields on the scren.

    select a field and push the click stick

    pick from the menue that pops up "current lat/long"

    it will then make your current lat and long bigger that;s thebest I can think of for ya. Let me know. Like I said I have a E-Trex Legend but I think yours will have all the same screens. Your satelite page will also display your current loc all the time but it;s too small to take a pic of.

  9. Other things to remember is to make sure the unit isn't' in your pocket or concealed in any way. On many caches when yuou enter the woods it's not uncommen to loose signal under dense tree cover. You could also try to add a external antenna if your unit has a port to hook one up. You may just want to take back your unit and upograde to a better one, with a better antenna. Garmin Etrex legend was my first and I was happy with it. I have since upgraded to the Top Of The Line Garmin 60cs. That's a awesome unit, but like I said it's top of he line. Wouldnj't recomend upgradikng that high unless your very serious about GPS and caching.

  10. Things like false sprinkler heads and fence post tops are BAD ideas. All that kind of stuff is promote take things apart in the field to see if it's a cache. We don't want to give geocaching a bad rep.

    On another note tho I had was searching for a false post top and it took me 7 times back to the same spot before I thought of trying it. Best hide I've ever seen.
