Greetings,
the wife has family up near that area as well as cold spring, to which we try and make it back 2x per year, yaa, you-betcha!! Now on to the units. I just picked up a gps V last friday and took it out geocaching this weekend. I was previously using a garmin 12xl. The differences are like night and day. the gps V is the same size as a gps III, and can be viewed either in portrait or landscape position. I am still getting used to all the new features, but have been very happy thus far. The turn by turn feature is pretty cool, although you need to download maps to it for more accuracy. However, from what I have seen the mapping software that comes with the gps V does have some limitations on some of the rural/urban areas. Best Buy does carry the gps V if you have a store nearby. Not sure what Gander Mountain carries, I know there is a store in St. Cloud you could probably call to check thier selection. I picked mine off Ebay for $408.00 including shipping and had it in one week. Good luck with your search.....
