Bruce 1,000+ Registered: 10/27/03 Posts: 4849 Loc: N.W. Pa.	Right now I am using a "Garmin GPS 12" but it is an older model so I know you can get much better. I read some place that the ones with "WAAS" are the best ones and that is what I am hopeing to get for Christmas. The "WAAS" is a ground radar deal that helps you get closer to the cache.

Amy Crazy Cat Woman Registered: 10/26/03 Posts: 18601 Loc: Litter Box	The one I thought would be easy we didn't find. I saw on the site that someone attempted to find it 2 days ago with no luck. They are replanting trees and putting down sod and sidewalks so it may be gone. The one they said was hard. Well that was our first attempt at Geocaching and we found it right away. It was funny watching Smokejumper open it because a purple snake jumped out. Hehe we signed the papers with our screen name and date and left a quarter. _________________________ A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
