Neos 1--GPSMAP 60CS with assorted accessories & secondly a coveted item no longer available for general purchase (Thanks, you-know-who!)

 

Neos 2--GPSMAP 76CS

 

We got each other City Select, so one of them will go back for a topo, I suppose.

Your welcome. Merry Christmas!

The wife got me a geocaching t-shirt (the new "focus" t-shirt) and a pewter geocaching hitch cap for my truck so other cachers will recognize me and say HI when I'm out there.

I didn't know they had the pewter hitch caps. I wish I had told Santa I wanted one. :P

I got my very first GPSr- the one my mom got my dad for Christmas a couple years ago and he never used. No more borrowing. It's mine now! I also got my ferret and I a nice retractable leash so he can be my new caching partner. He should provide for good cover if muggles are around, since he loves rooting around in piles of leaves and sticks anyway.

You should train it to retrieve caches from hard to reach spots. B)

you guys do not even want to KNOW what geo-gifts i received.

 

santa was so obscenely good to me that i am embarrassed to tell you.

Well, I am not embarrassed to say that I had the BEST Christmas EVER!!!

 

I got a new GPS. a Garmin GPS 60. My hubby got a Foretrex 201. I also got a new sewing machine with auto buttonholer and a new serger. I know, not geocaching related, but I make costumes for sidesaddle horse riders to make extra gas $$ so I can afford to go caching. So its sort of related. I also got myself a couple of geocoins. Hubby got me two collectible coins from Washington DC. Not gc's, but very nice. I also got two pairs of riding pants, so I can do some horseback caching and cache placing. Hubby and I both got new saddle blankets (matching B) ) so we can look nice, too.

 

Now, if I didn't have to work this week so we could go caching!!!

Santa (aka Mr G and hammycacher) were very good to me, and brought me a new Garmin Map 60CS! Whoohoo! Much more accurate than my little Etrex Vista, but not quite as comfortable in the hand. Mr G and I went out to the country today to try it out, and it was a charm! Plus, Santa brought us gorgeous winter caching weather as well. That, plus last year's present of a Palm, are making caching so much more enjoyable. Happy Holidays everyone!

Santa got Geocaching baseball style caps for both my husband and me and I got a geocaching logo thingy to tack onto my walking stick.

 

I always wear a baseball cap when we go caching so now if we meet other cachers on the trail at least they will know we are fellow cachers. :D

I think TheFreshwaterAnglers wife and mine were talking. My wife got me a GPS so I could start cacheing. The day after christmas I went and visited TheFreshwaterAnglers (they are family after all) and found out what they got.

An ammo can, complete with swag, Geocaching sticker for the outside, logbook, pens, and two travel bugs...basically, a completely ready to place cache!

 

This was from Seamus, my Secret Santa from the Cheers thread. Too cool!

I got the same exact thing for my birthday back in september, still haven't placed it yet though

I found you for the first time today too, what are the chances?

 

So why did you choose the name?

well, it was originally stangguy96gt, but my gf got doing it with me. she didnt want to have a seperate account so we decided wed rename my account something thatd describe us both.

 

just so happens we enjoy nature caches most, requiring hikes and such. and most of out outdoor clothing and equipment is camouflage. so when we go out caching, we have something camouflage on. coming home one day from caching we were talking about a name for ourselves. we ran through lots of names, and i eventually spit it out cause we were both wearing camouflage. we both liked the ring of it, and so it stuck. :laughing:

lots of nice smartwool socks.

several little round hats to which i am particular

a selection of long-and- shortsleeve techwick shirts

some very nice midweight bergelene tops and bottoms

some very cute little techwick undies, because cotton under all that defeats the purpose

one o' them million candlepower lights

a hand-cranked flashlight for those really long multis

a carrying case for my snowshoes (so my other gear doesn't get wet/scratched)

a car seat organizer because when i cache i live in my car and it's hard to keep all my stuff tidy

assorted little carrying cases

a sweet little microfiber towel (in a cute little carrying case)

a collapsible trashcan for the car

a "where in the world are you?" game to amuse my scruffy geocaching friends

assorted snacks to feeed same

the garmin north american topo maps

likewise the cityselect maps,

and a toshiba satellite laptop

 

-and get this-

 

for the EXPRESS purpose of convenience in mobile downloading and management of PQ's. i am not kidding about this.

 

i got some other stuff too, but it wasn't geocache related.

 

i hope you're glad you asked.
