I never get this right unless I'm looking at my compass (which I don't have at the moment) but I think in this case you need to subtract the declination to get the proper azimuth. ... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, ... unclerojelio

I missed three in a row. All in the same area, all by the same cacher. The last cache was appropriatly named "Three Strikes, You're Out". I took that as a sign and gave up for the day. ... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, ... unclerojelio

Long ago before GPS, I used to try very hard to pay attention while in the woods. I would take time to notice which way I was headed, what time it was, how far I had traveled. I would actively try to remember where I made turns and where the trail forked. Ya know, common sense Boy Scout stuff. Now, with Vista in hand I find that I spend way too much time staring down at the display. I have found myself in situations where, if my GPS failed, I would have no idea which way to head to get back to my truck. Sure, I have a map and compass with me and I could find civilization again. But the point is that a lot of my trail sense has evaporated. Anybody else experiencing this phenomenon? ... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, ... unclerojelio

I finally managed to run into a fellow cacher just yesterday on my 99th cache. Well, sort of. It was actually the cache hider who add come back to add some stuff to the cache. I caught him in the act. I thought it was pretty cool. ... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, ... unclerojelio

The mapsource maps help with getting to the cache site but they aren't really useful for finding a cache. You are usually zoomed in well past the detail on the map.
