Foothills Drifter

There are no compromising photos of me on the net. Not that I know of anyhow........

Howdy...... Can I discover that T.B. ?

Happy Belated New Year....

Plus a picturewould be nice Vern / Foothills Drifter...

Howdy..... I use the Garmin GPSMAP62s (most of the time) I also use the Garmin Oregon 450...... Sometimes.. I also use (every now and again) a Garmin Vista HCX (old one...) GARMIN works for me.... !

Howdy...... I'd go with the 62s. Tell your friend to take his wife out caching and kind of wander away from her. Hide in a bush ahead of her and jump out naked holding the new GPS and.... YELL SUPRISE!!!! Vern / Foothills Drifter... P S... warped sense of humor required....

I am 0 for 0... Ain't never done it....

Howdy...... You can put a trackable in in any cache that it will fit in. When you find one.... use your geocaching name..... Vern / Foothills Drifter...

What reasons...

So there........

Howdy...... Traditional... All sizes... D/T= 3/3 (I'm gettin' old...) Vern / Foothills Drifter...

Howdy...... Straight up stupid... Vern / Foothills Drifter...

Howdy...... I think the crickets left also...... Vern / Foothills Drifter...

A person can be a drinker *&* a cacher. Why not do both?! I am usually not in my 'right state of mind' I would rather 'drink' Vern / Foothills Drifter...

When I am at an airport and have a layover... I don't look for caches.... I go to the bar... Jack and Water please....... Vern / Foothills Drifter...

AMEN... Vern / Foothills Drifter...

Howdy...... I live in the foothills of eastern San Diego County (Lakeside) That's where I drift around. Vern / Foothills Drifter...

Howdy...... Give us details about your experience. You don't have to go too crazy.... Vern / Foothills Drifter...

Amen...

It says many eyes are on GZ. In those cases I like to sign away from GZ (like at the car), so I leave my writing thing there. And let's not forget an umbrella to deal with sprinklers.

Howdy...... True... Vern / Foothills Drifter...

Howdy...... My phone is not very accurate. I prefer my Oregon 450 or the GPSMAP 62s. I use one or the other...... Vern / Foothills Drifter... And that's fine. But without knowing how you've used those devices or what models they were, we can say that you either a] weren't using them right, or b] your preference is not in favour of smartphones for finding, let alone hiding. Maybe c] the model you used was objectively below the technical standard you prefer. That doesn't mean "smartphones" are incapable of geocaching successfully. I believe you are intelligent, so I think it's more a matter of than [a] and if it's [c], I highly recommend you upgrade, then determine if it's still over [a]. I have a Galaxy S3 and an iPhone 5s. I did not acquire either of them to be replacements for my Oregon 450. The GPS in both phones works well enough to use for navigating streets or highways, but they are both maddeningly inaccurate on the ground while geocaching. This is true of both, and it is true for the different apps I have tried (including Groundspeak's own app). They simply cannot compete with the Oregon for accuracy. Out in the field, it is almost comical how bad they are compared to the Oregon. Finding a cache with them is a nuisance. Placing a cache with them would be ridiculous.

Howdy...... I agree totality agree.... I wouldn't pass them up! Vern / Foothills Drifter...

Howdy...... Ain't nothin' better than a 62s... Vern / Foothills Drifter...

Howdy...... Always bring your writing thing with you. Then you will not have that problem. Vern / Foothills Drifter...
