All of you with the 60CS... is it worth the extra $40+ to have the compass and barometric altimeter? Have you made any use of these features?

Buy it fast!!!!! Unfortunately... "Although our products are sold only through authorized GARMIN dealers, you can purchase accessories straight from our headquarters. Yada, yada, yada...

Hehe. The MSRP for the 76C on Garmin's site is a little off.

Also, Buy.com has these same prices, but I see no mention of free shipping.

Geez! I was only talking about a piece of broomstick! But of course, all of these points are excellent food for thought. Thanx for the info dooood!

Amazon has the 60C for $352 and the 60CS for $389 today.

I'd definitely like to make this TRL. I may be needing a partner to team up with seeing as I haven't bought my GPS yet. Is that OK?

Test

OK. Uploaded one. Thanx for the help.

Every time I try to get to the avatar selection page, all I get is this. It sends me back and forth from my profile to this page. Help!

evenfall, I know what you mean. I'm in the civil engineering field so I really relate to your concerns. I was really thinking about remote and/or seemingly lost "benchmarks" that one may find. Certainly not any in more travelled areas. My only reason for "marking" the location in some way would be so that they can be located easier by those who need them. People like yourself. But I can see how a colorful stick in the ground might attract unwanted attention. Maybe something as unobvious as a rock on either side of the reburied find? Anyway, you get the picture. Thanks for your insights. perrito_blanco

Hehe. How about editting for spelling?

Hi, I'm new to all of this. I've seen that there are a lot of cachers around here and was wondering who you all were. I also noticed that you all get together occasionally. That's great! Anyway, just wanted to say, "Hi".

Put little Geocache stickers on the signs!

These are all good points. Would just putting a rock over it to make it easier to locate be OK? Or would this be bad due to the decreased likelyhood of a metal detector finding it again? The more I think about it, the more I think it would be better to not mark it at all. With the coordinates, pictures and a metal detector, it should be a snap.

When you find a buried benchmark do you mark it's location? Maybe with a painted 4 foot piece of broomstick handle for instance to make it easier for others to find?

Would this be a good cache container?
