  1. One of the biggest reason I say Legend in additon to the mapping is that I have talked to many beginners and they seem to always want to kick themselves for buying the yellow etrex and not the Legend or other mapping GPSr. He seems to be wanting to cache more so I feel that it is the way to go. Having the map to follow on your way back out is a good thing to have. I have been able to find shortcuts on my way back after following a trail. Can you view the coords you are currently at with the yellow etrex? The Sat view with the coords is something I use often when caching. The lag time following the pointer is to much when you are near the cache. When I'm within 20ft I switch over to the sat/coords view. I have used the Legend since I began, upgraded to the LegendC last year and soon to be owner of a 76CSx.
  2. I didn't say vista, I said LEGEND. It has mapping; trust me, on geocaches that take an hour to get to you want the mapping. Not to mention that the legend is 2 steps up from the yellow etrex and you can find it here for the same price sometimes. I have never seen a vista for less than $100.
  3. Look for a used etrex Legend. You can find them here for around $80. Don't pay more than that, unless it comes with more than the unit and cable. That is the lowest version I would recommend.
  4. I came home to a package on the table and I was like, "What is that?" I opened the package and this is what I found: Thanks. I will always remember these and they shall never leave my small collection. I shall cherish them always for what they represent. Maldar
  5. Cool, I had a person from Denmark bid on the DreamCatcher Coins and the winner is from Germany. The winner of the Venturing Crew Coin is the same person that won the 1st set of DreamCatcher Coins. Is anyone here one of the winners? I was thinking about dropping in alittle something special if you are a geocacher. It is based on what I see in your caching profile. Someone with 0 finds would not get anything, but someone that I can tell caches would get a neat little surprise. Maldar
  6. If you don't want to hassle with Garmin I will take all you listed and the broken unit, everything for $20. I have been looking for a broken unit to experiment with designing something. Maldar
  7. Less than 7 hours to go. Someone needs to go outbid Roddy on the Venturing Crew coin. Maldar
  8. Less than 24 hours remaining. Happy Bidding and good luck to all the geocachers.
  9. Forget about the nuvi units as they are for auto navigation and don't tend to gell well with his major. If you are looking to get a Garmin, look at their "On the Trail" product line, and compare the mapping handhelds. The eTrex Vista HCx, GPSMAP 60CSx or GPSMAP 76CSx are their top shelf units. Also worth looking into is the Rino 530HCx that also has a FRS/GMRS 2-way radio built in. These units all have their map memory as a microSD card, but do have internal memory for waypoints, routes and tracks. I would also include the Legend HCx.
  10. Are you the venture crew that is the cache owner of "The Pit" GCG1AK. We where on a visit to MI from PA (at my sisters) and did this wonderful cache; had to as one of our group is almost an eagle scout. I'm not part of the venture crew that did this coin and they are farther north than the group that placed that cache. I'll have to check with my ex-coworker David to see if he is part of the Venturing Crew you are talking about as I lived in East Lansing for 10 years until 2006. I was the FTF on that cache. Cannot believe it is still there how cool is that. Totally forgot about that cache until you said something. Now I see why it doesn't come up in my FTF listings, I didn't use FTF in my post. Going to have to edit that into the post. Thanks, Maldar

  15. On a similar note, I recently bought a bumper sticker that says: Found cache, lost car! Where did you find that? I NEED one for a friend of mine!!! LOL Should I tell Anne about this LadyBee or is it an X-Mas gift? LOL

  19. Just want to thank all those that have bid on these. Didn't think they would go for so much this fast. Oh, 007BigD, someone just outbid you. Go place another bid, LOL. Thanks again everyone.
  20. That is why I bought so many sets. I loved them when I saw them. You will have to come to my event this coming year as I will be raffling off one set. These are my favorite coins so far. Once I settle on a date I will PM you about the event. That would be great, except for the one little fact that I'm on the other side of the world from ya! Can I enter the raffle by proxy ? Naomi I was thinking about that in the car today.
