Thanks guys! I read you were having a meeting on Saturday, unfortunately I have a prior family commitment and will not be able to make it. I did find out that I work with at least 2 Geocachers, GPSFUN is one of them. I will keep my eyes open for a future meeting. Richard

Hi all, I live in the Buford, GA area and I am new to this hobby/sport. I was wondering if there are any folks in this area that wouldn't mind me tagging along on some hunts for the expierence. Thanks! Richard

Yes, another is born. Found my first cache this morning, "The Rich Cache". Can't wait to get to the mountains later today!

Manual? I don't need no stinking manual! I will always have my manual close to me, there are more than 2 buttons to push and I get confused easily. Thanks for all the input folks, I am sure we will do fine. I think while the Mrs. is working tomorrow I will try a couple of nearby benchmarks for practice.

Well, got my new Garmin Etrex Vista tonight, my wife and I are heading the north to the GA mountains for the weekend. We're excited and worried at the same time. Worried is not the right word, but we have never done this before and we're not sure what to expect. I am sure we will have fun (and get some excercise at the same time). I packed my pack, I think I put too much stuff in it, better safe than sorry I suppose. I will be going to get some trade items tomorrow assuming that we actually find a cache somewhere to leave them. Maybe we'll try for the Tallulah river gorge cache first. naw, we will save that one for later. Wish us luck and if you have parting words of wisdom, I am all ears (eyes). You all have been a great help so far, we will let you know how it goes.

I entered the OfficeMax site from this URL, it appears to still work. OfficeMax Richard

I am new to all this stuff. Isn't $199 still a good price? I ordered one today with a $20 coupon, beats all my local stores. Looking to forward to going on my first cache hunt after I get the Vista. RS

My local (Duluth, GA) Fry's store has the Yellow (etrex) on sale @ $59.95 RS
