Lost One is getting a basic yellow Etrex. At 5 years old he doesn't need anything more. (That's him in my avatar)

 

This will make us a 3 GPSr family. Lil' Lost One will just have to wait until he can talk before we buy him one. icon_wink.gif

I'm giving my brother a Magellan Meridian tomorrow, and hiding a few other little things for him in an ammo box near his house. I already stored the coordinates in the GPSr

Shadow is getting a set of trekking poles and some new flashlights. My birthday was a month ago, that was where we splurged on the caching gear. I got a SporTrak map with mapsend topo, a .30 cal ammo can, several decon cans, hand warmers and various other small caching related items.

It took a GPS to get me away from technology.

Magellan Meridian Platinum with a 64 meg chip and my friend got a Magellan Sports Trak Pro. We went out today and found our first cache! Both are hooked.

Posted

We gave my dad and my sister Vistas, as they loved going Geocaching with us in the fall.

 

It turns out that the closest cache to my parent's house in Minnesota happens to be within 50 yards of the back yard fence line!

Posted

I placed a few envelopes on the tree containing coordinates to packages hidden in the back yard. They each contained lights for night caching for the Bratpack. I already gave LS7673 his a few nights ago while hunting a cache at night. I did get a large tin of popcorn. I better start eating it now if I want to use it for a cache.

Merry Christmas to ALL my fellow caches out in Christmas Cache Land.

I got a car mount and cables for my meridian, an 18 speed mountain bike (at 54 I just got my first new bike), a fold up umbrella to cover the cache while logging in during a rain and an electric coffee cup that plugs into the cigarette lighter plug (most important during winter caching).

Posted

I got my husband a Garmin Street Finder III Deluxe. He loved it!! I also got a yellow etrex for my 10 year old granddaughter, SleuthGirl, and my 13 year old grandson, GottaBeNike. They both were thrilled. Had a great day - too much snow, though. We can go caching on Friday!!!

Posted

Got my first GPS reciever ever. A Magellan 315. Been using it already quite a bit today. Works real well, pretty darn accurate so far, locks on very quickly and have had no problems at all so far. I also am getting those strong engineering screen covers for christmas but they didn't arrive in time to get under the tree today. Same with a carrying case, either the ultimate one or a camo one off of basspro-shops.com. Not sure, person just said it was either of those but it still hasn't arrived.

My Geocaching Items:

  • Garmin Legend GPSr

Garmin Protective Case

12v Power Cable

Brunton Compass

Lightweight Jacket

 

I have already picked/downloaded/ready to find a few local caches and benchmarks. I can't wait until this weekend. icon_biggrin.gif

Ma Bell and I got Chameleon a meridian gps. Turns out it's way better than her 330 map, so I think she is confiscating his Christmas present. Bad Mommy...

 

The mother in law bought me some more of my signature pins. If anyone is interested in a real cheap source to buy pins and patches go here:

 

http://www.epilogsys.com/littleawards/

 

Pins and patches are $1.50 each. No set up fee. No minimum order. And real cheap shipping.

 

My Avatar is the pin she did up for me.

GeoGranny got me a St. John's first aid kit that attaches to your belt. After slicing myself earlier this year on Binthair's "Damit" cache http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=18230 , it will come in handy. St. John's has a great site for kits and stuff, check it out.

I got one of those fancy color-screened digital phones with the GPS ability when using 911. I read a couple other posts in the forums about it - and from what I gathered, it isn't true GPS... but some sort of GPS-ish locating system using the communications towers/satellites, rather than the GPS system.

 

Hope someone comes out with a program to allow usage as a simple location indicator. I don't need tracks, maps, and all that crap - but it'd be awesome if it would give lat/lon location if you wanna hide a cache on a spur of the moment and don't have your 'good' gps with ya. icon_smile.gif

Bought the family a pair of FRS units, for our next caching trek. We won't use them till then...Ya right the little ones have already scanned the channels and started chatting with anyone within range.

 

GPSr's...A step in the right direction!
