[Renting is a good idea to find out what you like and don't like about an RV trip. My wife and I had taken a trip via rental a few years before buying our RV, so we had an idea of what we were getting into. Financially, you need to use your RV often if you buy it, or else it doesn't make sense to purchase outright.] We own a 30ft fithwheel and a f250 diesel to pull it. We never rented before we bought and that was mainly because our parents and friends have them, so we have always been around them and knew what to expect. Wev'e only used it on 2 trips where we have gone caching but it works great. Financially, you can count it as a second home if it is equipped with certain things, such as a bathroom. Last summer my brother and my aunt rented rvs in Colorado. They had a few problems but overall it was enjoyable. Just be prepared and don't expect everything to be perfect, because it probably won't be.

Thanks MRCOGEO that is pretty much what i was looking for.

Thanks for the links. I allready have the metal id tags, i was just looking for the passports. I guess i can just make them myself.

Where do you get these things? I have found some tb's with and some without. I'm fixing to launch my first Tb and i would like to have a goal/ID to go along with it.

My first real cache hunt was on Thanksgiving Day. I talked my dad, sister, brother and some nephews into going out to find this cache nearby. They all thought it was fun and had a great time, but no one seens to be into it like me. Iv'e gone with my wife a few times but she wont get muddy or go through the thorn patch with me, so i just keep on trucking and leave her behind. then she complains. Can you believe it!!

When you have an addictive nature such as me its probably the worst thing to come along. Thats why i started the new thread on how others that you spend time with feel about it. I love the adventure, the outdoors and the hunt...I'm ADDICTED!!

Does anyone else out there have spouses, girlfriends, boyfriends or just friends that think you are crazy and spend may too much time with this addictive sport!

You definately go a good deal! I have a gps 72 and i cost me about 150$. It has a lot more functions than the basic Etrex. It is kinda big but it works great.

Am i the only one to own a Garmin GPS 72? I've heard all about the 76s but never a thing about the 72. Does anyone out there have one and if so how do you like it? The one thing i don't like about the 72 is the fact that it doesn't have any detail maps. I just bought mapsource for it but it is not as detailed as i like.
