When planning a geocaching trip to someplace you've never been before, or that you aren't completely familiar with, check map sources (real topographical maps, Topo software, local area maps) for exact locations, or plotting what streets to turn on, etc. Do the research. Nothing sucks worse than getting lost to or from a cache. Same goes for PLACING caches. ---------- Lori aka: _RedwoodRed_ KF6VFI "I don't get lost, I investigate alternative destinations." What fun is that? So far, when I go caching I rely strictly on my GPS. This takes a little longer BUT, it certainly has taken me to some interesting places! inceptor the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys

These units look really good to me from everything I have read. I had planned to upgrade from my e-trex sometime this spring. First I had wanted to buy a Vista then I saw an ad for the Rhinos. I like the idea of combined radio with a gps. To top it off the Rhino has a better antennae than the Vista. Hopefully I will get decent reception in tree cover. I e-mailed Garmin to find availability and cost and here is thier response. Thanks for contacting GARMIN, The Rino 110 will list for about $194.27, and the 120 will list for $267.84 (both prices U.S. currency). Units will probably begin shipping to authorized GARMIN retail dealers sometime in Jun of 2002. Sorry, a specific release date not available at this time. inceptor the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys

My question is, if it happens again, when you downloaded the upgrade did you lose the data you had? inceptor the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys

The cache was put approx 20 ft from the original spot, and the clues allowed us to find it no problem. It was almost like doing a new cache, and quite fun actually. ... Very good. But BEWARE!!! The GeoPolice are watching to see if you log a find for this. Yeah but, since they had to "find" it wouldn't it count as a find for them? inceptor the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys

I found an old forum where there was a discussion about geocaching business (type) cards. Did anyone around here have any made? If you did may I have one so I can have some printed? I do not have the ability print these myself. Would you mind bringing one to Brokenwing/T-Storms get together? This would be greatly appreciated! inceptor the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys

Well, if anyone is interested, I have tentatively reserved a room for 4/13. If ya'll want to do this let me know in the next couple of days and I will confirm. If not we have a place for May if it is agreeable. inceptor the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys
