Well, Humuhumu got DolphinTiki & I totally hooked on this (of course, finding 12 caches our first day out helped a lot, too!) But knowing that with her ultra-super-mega filled schedule that we wouldn't always be able to go out caching with Humuhumu (and her GPS), we decided to get our own GPS unit. They're not cheap, but I do have to pass along a bit of helpful info: If you're thinking of getting into Geocaching and buying a GPS unit, OfficeMax.com currently has the Garmin eTrex Vista ($290 - $350 retail, about $200+ used on eBay) mis-priced at only $169!! I'd been researching GPS pricing for this model for a few days and couldn't believe this price when I saw it! I figured that they'd made a mis-print and would send me the lower priced eTrex Legend instead, but I ordered it anyhow and, sure enough, the Vista arrived today! Now I've just gotta figure out how to use it...

So, if you're thinking of getting a GPS (and I know that so many of you are), jump on this before they wise up and price it correctly!
