choreographed explosive charges as a diversion.

I don't know if this has been discussed before but I like to use a full HAZMAT suit complete with full face mask and breathing apparatus. I find that not only does it prevent muggles from asking questions, it tends to chase them off completely. Oh, and the clipboard works to round out the look.

Cemetery Caches, who likes them?

It used to be, before the concept of a public park, that the only place in a city where the proletariat could recreate was in a cemetery. It was the only place not developed with streets, homes and commerce. I don't see any problem with it at all. In fact, we used to have a multi that started in the public cemetery, where the clues led you from the subject's grave to the home where they lived, to the business they owned and finally to the large forested park that they bequeathed to the city. It was quite fun. -
You're thinking, 'huh?", right? Here's the deal. I design flying disc golf courses and often am in unfamilar territory when trying to lay out routes for holes. I think GPS might be a great tool for me to both find my way around a large piece of ground and produce reasonably accurate location points on maps. I have many questions regarding applications and equipment that is out there. I'm trying to sift through a lot of information on the web and would appreciate any help from the seasoned vets on this forum. Here are the basic questions I have: 1) In a low-to-mid priced unit, what kind of X-Y accuracy can I expect? 2) It's often helpful to know the elevations of important waypoints. How about Z accuracy? (I've heard this can be *very* inaccurate relative to known elevations, but how about if it's the relative elevation delta of two waypoints?) 3) Many times, holes will be in dense tree cover. Will this render GPS totally useless? How about in the winter? 4) Say I have an engineering CAD program I use to map out courses. Would I be able to load these points into the program automatically? 5) What low-to-mid priced unit would be the best to use in this application?
