+Windrose Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Couldn't stand it any longer. Just bought a Garmin Etrex-basic (on ebay $83 + Shipping), even though I shouldn't be spending the money. It should arrive Thursday AM. I think I feel a touch of the (GPS) flu coming. I think I'll definately have to call in sick Thursday & Friday . Sorry, I just had to do a little happy dance. Windrose "The way of the Wind is a strange, wild way." Quote Link to comment
Eeyore and Shadow Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Congratulations Windrose I hope the Gps makes your caching more fun. And as for the money just tell the power company you mailed the check you don't know why they dind't get it! It took a GPS to get me away from technology. Quote Link to comment

stlthy1 Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Yeah I too fell prey to this geocaching and i love it. It has become my 2nd best thing to do outside besides metal detecting. Have fun and ENJOY Quote Link to comment
dave and jaime Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 i would say great purchase! i bought mine for hunting navigation several years ago. one note of caution when dealing with the better half - you no longer can use the excuse that you got lost when you go in the woods with the boys!!

umc Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Way to go, Enjoy your new purchase and have fun loading it up with waypoints. Quote Link to comment
TT120 Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Congrats on the GPS! Just send the phone bill to the electric company and the electric bill to the phone company, that should buy you a week till your next paycheck. Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I know the feeling! I got mine a week and a half ago, a Garmin Etrex Legend. A buddy put in a few topo maps for me and I'll soon be getting the street map software. Wanna know the best part? In my line of work this little gadget can be a write off! I'll never be lost again, or if I am I can always get found. Cache you later, Planet Quote Link to comment
