While I have had a 60CSX for some time and using paper notes etc....currently looking at going with the 62s and oztopo v3(when ...

Re: Garmin GPSmap 62s

Hi. Well I'm definitely hooked on this caching business and looking to upgrade my old GPS. I have heard you can get a GPS or a card that is preloaded with all the caches on the site. Is this the 62S you speak of? How much are they? Do I need the GPS or can I possibly get a card loaded with the data...

That would be an awesome trip but I'll be unable to cruise along. Zer0 A/L balance (and need to save what I can for xmas) and two under 2 #-o make this one out of action for me!

Re: Where are we all from??? (introduce yourself) parts 1&2

Hi, I'm Tom Guy and I go caching with my partner and our two little girls (the youngest is only two weeks old so she hasn't been caching yet). So yesterday I changed my GC.com username from Barndillo (university nickname) to 1Guy3gals. Maybe in a year or two it will be 1Guy3gals+dog?! I also have a ...
