I've seen most geocaches left up over winter and people actually sometimes do take a stick or something to poke through the snow. Of course, with snow, you have to worry about things getting wet. Ammo cans seem to be pretty waterproof, bison tubes if you go for a micro. Some homemade geocache containers just don't hold up to the weather. Home tuppeware if exposed seems to let moisture seep in. Today, I came accross a film canister that had a wet log. For you, perhaps putting the cache in a tree somehow or up off the ground may help. I suppose it could still be placed at ground level, hmm...

There are different ways to make coordinates. Decimal like 98.123423 degrees. Then you have the minutes and seconds deal, like 78Degrees 45' 45''. I know I'm probably making mistakes and these might not be real coordinates, but gps which I assume is what this site uses goes on a degree minute system something like 33Degrees 45.4344 minutes. I think this site has a good converter. http://www.sanidumps.com/gpscoords.php

Can't say I've run into serious lovemaking per se, but while doing a cache in a park next to a lake, I was led to a corner of the park, wide open in the daylight, people using the park, I was searching around a storage shed when I rounded the corner and right next to the shed was a pavilion with picnic tables underneath and a college aged couple (mixed race) pretty into kissing. The guy was a bit angry. "What are you doing?" I explained myself. I just sorta ignored them there. It's a family park, and my park too. I think I saw the guy in town a few weeks later.

Thanks. I was thinking that the Garmin 60 CSX was good, and I don't want a automotive unit, but more of a handheld, I was just hoping that there was something a bit cheaper than it, but I guess it is one of the better ones.

I am searching for a gps that will allow me to allow me to punch in a destination (ie 123 W. Main Street) and then guide me there. I also want to be able to plug in coordinates (for geocaching) and have it tell me how far away I am. Will the Garmin rino 120 do this? What other ones are good for this?
