oooooh... very nice idea! Thanks!!!

Thanks for the input... not saying I'll go forwad with this as my immediate thought when I got the email is exactly what you've said above. But based on the rules, will the get cancelled by the reviewer?

My daughter goes to a agricultural type high school and as such, each year she has to have certain amount of points each year to be able to go onto the next year. These points are earned for volunteer work, etc. She is behind this year and mentioned to her wildlife teacher that we geocache... and found that the teacher has done it in the past. I then get an email from the teacher stating that my daughter can earn points for geocaching! Great news! She then suggested that we could put a cache on school grounds. I was hesitant at this... for obvious reasons. But then thought that this is a high school and they have seasonal sports, such as track, cross country track, etc... with many, constant visitors. I know they wooded areas, away from building and classrooms. Rules state: Geocaches are not placed on school property or military bases. Many primary, middle and secondary schools, as well as most military bases do not allow geocaching within their borders. Further, it is inadvisable to place geocaches near schools or military bases as the borders shown on a map may be inaccurate. Geocachers who are actively searching for a cache are likely to arouse suspicion in such environments, and we want to avoid this situation. There is of course, the main rule of getting owners permission... Would it be ok if I got explicit permission from the principle? Or would this get rejected regardless?

Ended up seeing a slight used PN-60 and went for it! Spent a little more than I had planned, but got a decent deal for it.

Thanks, I was more looking for how the refurb unit holds up. Figures, just when I have money to spend, I can't find a deal... story of my life!

Very cool... would love to hear your thoughts more on it. Again, both TigerGPS and the place you got it from no longer have it in stock. Additionally, TigerGPS sent me an email stating that they will no longer have stock of the PN-40 because it has been discontinued. Looks like I'm stuck watching for sales at Best Buy, Amazon, etc for a new unit or get a PN-60.

Unfortunatly, epal no longer has them in stock I won't be able to purchase one for at least a week from now anyway, so hopefully they'll get more in stock. Tigergps doesn't have them in stock either! :mad:

They've been discussed a lot over the last 2 years here. Just look around. Sorry, I meant how the refurbed PN-40's from epal perform...

Very cool and great news! Want to hear back from 4bejeepin and johnvanderlip when they recieve theirs. Need to keep cost down and this seems like a great deal. I also need to upgrade my computer, so need to be frugal with money. My son and I started geocaching mid-summer last summer and I borrowed an old unit from a friend. Would like to get a more up-to-date unit for coming spring. I would also appreciate hearing comments on actual use of these units. Thanks for taking the time to post!

Just curious how you made out... did it arrive? What working shape is it in?

I'm was interested in getting a geocoin for my son and myself, to activate set on a mission. This would be our first one and was looking for something interesting and fit out styles. I found a really cool one at the geocoinstore, but quickly realized it was only available members of the Geocoin club. Anybody have this and willing to let go of it? I don't have anything to trade with, cerntainly willing to pay for it. Cash Hard Or Die: Cash Hard Or Die Thanks!

Very new to geocaching. We just discovered the world of travel bugs and coins. My son wants to get one and send out with a mission. Hopefully I'm violating any rules asking this question. I see a really cool one that my son would love to use, but unfortunatly it is part of some Geocoin club and only available to members. Is there any way to get one if not a member?
