thanks Red that is a big help

Hey all got a garmin iQue 3600 and I am trying to figure out how to get the waypoints and the info into the little bugger. Paperless would be so much more fun. I can use my garmin mapsource to get the waypoints in and then spend the time editing the notes... but I was wondering if there is a program to combine all that or if it is going to take alot of different things.. thanks

Doing a cache on a pretty little back road.. Chased down the coord's to a really old rock wall... Now mind you I grew up in the country... so Rattlesnakes I know... and I know that they love rock walls... but not being in an area I was filmilar with... and so excited about finding another Geocache... I was cacheing with Whitetail39&travler13 and whitetail yelled snake... just as I heard the buzz.. talk about freaking... here is a link to their post with pics Snake Did I mention... that I hate rattlesnakes? But we all got away without injury... just made me realize... can never get to excited when caching and always carry a stick.

I know that I am new but.. just a thought.. Take a little plastic box add a little cotton and a little card explaining where the coin was found, and a little history then add the coin. Personally I belive that what has happened in history can sometimes be nasty... but that does not mean that we wipe every mention away or pretend that it didnt happen. Sometimes you have to look at an item for what it is.. in this case it is a coin from the nazi era and nothing more. It is like just because you buy items from China... does that mean that you are for the human rights violations that the country commits? Of course not.

As a new cacher myself I have a big piece of advice... sometimes you need to let the GPS sit still a few to get its self settled. I have a hand me down GPS and my dad had to show me how to work it.. hehe I am great if it is a computer... but GPS well that is a whole nother kettle of fish. But as others have said... look for larger caches.. and if possible ones that are close by you. That way you are a least filmilar with the area. At first it can be confusing but after you find that first one it is addicting... hehe...
