... and don't forget...cougar encounters.

Heehee! Looking for single female with same interest... arrrg! I can't go through with this. Maybe I'll find someone at a cache site and we can both open the tupperware to-gether.

Maybe I'll wait 3 more years before making a claim then.

I WON BIG TIME! Well I wish but this might sound like fun though the details are slim. Look here, http://www.portmcneill.net/treasure_hunt.htm FTF! Took cash, left marbles.

Hey! I lived in Rossport for 12 years, wish I had a gpsr back then, I kind of miss the fishing for brookies and pickerel along with my hunting grounds.

Whether True or magnetic, it doesnt matter if you use your gpsr to get you back to your starting point as it leaves a breadcrumb trail behind. If you use your gpsr for locating caches or for excample following a topo map, I would choose True north. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

LOL! You have to be making this up. Without north, where will my feet point too?

LOL! I like it!

Once again, Thanks all for the useful replies. The more information I can get about this new gadjet the better. I think I'm getting too serious in this game. ;

One button is for self- destruck, so be careful.

"GeoCaching"! "GeoContest!...GeoAddiction! Why has it change my lifestyle so much eventhough I've always been active as far back as I can remember. Since I picked-up caching, it seems I've spent less time golfing, fishing, sitting in front of the "Boob Tube",etc... but driving lots, many times the wrong way, , increaced computer time and sometimes, lack of sleep, food,liquids. But you know what? I LOVE IT! as demanding as it can get at times. Thank-you! Thank-you very much!- ELVIS

That is what I wish to do is get away from calculated altitude from sat's. I understand the fact barometric alt's need to be recalibrated for every outing, I was wondering if that was required with the new electronic one also not that it matters.

Thanks for the info. I'll be shopping around before making a decision of anykind.

...that I now have 200 cache under my belt.

My gpsr is suppose to give me at least 3m accuracy, but I think that's only on a good day. If I could even borrow an altimeter, I would like to test my gpsr against one. As for maps, I believe they are a little outdated as the landscape is alway changing and as far as I know our canadians maps were last produced in 1983. Maybe I bought the wrong ones, 1:50,000 scale. I could be wrong on this but I don't think so! Like I said, I'd like to do a side by side test on both unit just to justify if it's worth the money spent. Seems like I've had to play with elevation lately.

My gpsr has a builtin altimeter, I would like something more accurate and I don't think a Vista is much better than what I already have.

Powerwise, does your wristwatch type go through batteries more often then theb handhelds? Also, can you switch between feet to metric on these things?

Thanks but I already did the google thing. I was kind of hoping for some input along with a good store to buy one, hopefully here on the island.

I'm thinking in investing in a altimeter as the gpsr altimeter doesn't seem all that accurate. Does anyone know the pro & cons of wristwatch type versus the handhelds? Are there any stores in Canada you would recomend? I don't wish to spend a paycheck on one but I am looking for a decent model.

Congrats J5! I'm right behind you ya on the finds, just need one more special find, shouldn't be long now. Cheers!

Ah yes I remember those cold winter days where when you spit, it freezes before it hits the ground etc... So far this evening it doesn't look like we'll be getting any snow, at least not where I am, it's a balmy, maybe -7Celsius or so.

Ooooh! More snow expected according to the news here on Vancouver Island. Now where's that cache, here it is, nope, maybe over here then?

I would like to thank my good friend GG for the quick reply and directions to this enchanted place which is near Neverneverland.

LOL! I barely recognized myself for a moment. Did you knit that yourself?

Who in their right mind would want to go there anyway.
