I went with an Apple Pie and Baseball theme. Hope you like it and will vote for me! Here's the link: flyingpita's American Heritage submission

I've been watching this post since the GSA began his/her mission and it's really been wonderful to see it evolve. It's still about finding a coin but what that coin has triggered is amazing. I'm very proud to be a geocacher and part of such a wonderful, caring group. Loridarlin, I hope your son is doing well. -flyingpita

My very first benchmarks found! AQ1616-REG AQ1617-REG Fart counter coming soon....what a great idea! edited to fix from designation name to PID.

Thanks John! And Dwayne, I looked in my zip code for benchmarks and then looked at the 'Designation' name. I now have plans to hunt for a benchmark that has a designation beginning with a '2' and another that starts with an 'O' and so on until I have 9 benchmarks whose first letter (of the Designation) spells '2oldfarts.' Hope that helps as I'm a newbie too. :-)

I have a question about spelling '2oldfarts' with designations. Do they have to be posted at the same time or I can say I found '2' on this day and 'o' & 'L' on this day, etc?

Please sign me up too, if it's not too late! Thanks, flyingpita

I'd like to add my welcome to Vicki! I'm also fairly newbie (68 finds), a girl and getting old fast, yet this 'sport' is wonderful for people like us. It gets you outside, using your brain and having fun. What more could we ask for?! Just to throw my two cents in-the way I started out was with a nice thick notebook and my GPS. I learned how to input a waypoint in the GPS and then kept track in the notebook of where I wanted to go, what caches were hidden there and what I called them in my GPS as I loaded them in. Google's maps are great for this as I could print out a map of an area I'd like to cache in and then reference each cache shown on the map in the following pages of my notebook. Hope my idea helps and welcome again to a most excellent sport.

I tried to find the receipt but its been 'moved.' And the bundle has been wrapped. Sorry. But try calling the Sam's Club in Daytona Beach, FL. Thats where I found mine. Good luck!

We just found this bundle at a Sam's Club for $112.00! I hadn't been looking to buy a Magellan but at that price its perfect for my first 'real' gps.

I've got one...what's a leaner?
