Thanks Pati and Ginny :)

Good morning Erynne :) It's a Garmin e-trex legend. Milan suggested it (it is the one that the fellow that runs the worldwide geocaching site still uses and it was Milan's first purchase). It is much more reasonably priced now but be aware you should also purchase the Topo Canada Map. If you or your hubby like figuring electronic things out it isn't too difficult (reading the instruction manual(s) is a MUST however ;). We started off by just making waypoints when we traveled out to the garden. I would compare it somewhat to a computer (as time goes by you figure more of it out ;). I know ours is capable of much more and slowly but surely we are getting there. I really don't mind if you want to ask other ? in my thread. Sooner or later Milan will stumble onto it and he really is an expert with it.

For most people it is more the thrill of the hunt, the exercise, and where it takes you, than what is found in the cache. Yesterday we headed out into ones further out into the country and were pleasantly surprised to find a $5.00 coupon to the burger cabin (still haven't found the cache there) and also a Canadian $1.00 uncirculated Centennial bill (1867-1967) left by some geocachers travelling thro from Winnipeg).

edited to say the screen below is telling us how many satellites are being picked up.
