+The Jester Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Last year our Men's Retreat in Wenachee had so much fun trying out Geocaching, that they want to do it again (I know of one family that did continue caching). I'm in the same 'boat' as then - I don't have enough GPSr's to do the job. Seaveral people in the area were kind enough to loan me a unit(s), so I'm asking again - if you have one that I can borrow for the day I would really like it. Thanks ahead of time. The date is Oct 8th and we'll be at Mt. Springs Lodge in Leavenworth (well, Plain really, but the address says Leavenworth). I'm thinking if they want to keep on doing this that we should see about buying several used Etrex's to have on hand. Quote Link to comment

nolenator Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 So since my 60CS decided to dive into the Puget Sound on a sailing trip today, I will have to withdraw my offer to borrow my back-up GPS. Oh yeah, the wind was good and the weather was absolutely beautiful. Peace, Nolenator Quote Link to comment

On the other hand, I did get my Legend back last week and it is available if you need it Jester...just let me know. I've still got that GB coin for you as well...if you are still interested...if not, let me know that too. Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Sad news there nolenator. Sorry to hear that one. Quote Link to comment
+Prying Pandora Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 So since my 60CS decided to dive into the Puget Sound on a sailing trip today, Oh no!! That's terrible!! I'm so sorry, Nols. Ironically, I was leaning on the railing of the ferry today watching our progress on my 60CS map screen. The thought popped into my head that it would be an awful tragedy if I were to drop it, so I got out my lanyard and clipped that puppy onto my neck for safekeeping. Quote Link to comment
nolenator Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Thanks guys and gals. Remember it is just stuff. Peace, Nolenator Quote Link to comment

+The Jester Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Nolenator - Bad luck! I guess that means no hand holding... (private joke, people) Andrewrj - Well, it worked at least as far as the surface. Allanon - Yes - to both. Will e-mail you as I have a question about a cache of yours in that area.

MarcusArelius Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 So since my 60CS decided to dive into the Puget Sound on a sailing trip today,... Bummer dude! Hey do the credit card companies still have those free insurance perks for stuff you buy with them???? Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 I want to thank everyone who loan me a GPSr for our Men's Retreat. We had five teams of men (2 to 4 in each group) going out and about the Leavenworth area hunting caches. Everyone I talked to had a great time and enjoyed the adventure. So great big thanks go to Terrible T's, Cent5, Landrover, Team Misguided, WeightMan, Prying Pandora & Plaid Guy, GlobalGirl, and Allenon! The only bad part of the day is that while my wife (Blooming Idiot) and I were driving up to Sugerloaf (a nice cache with a wonderful view) we hit a rock that cracked the transmission cover and we were leaking tranny fluid all over the place. We were able to limp home (stopping to add more fluid every once and a while). Tomorrow the van will go to the shop. But such is life! Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Ouch!!! Sorry about the tranny, but I'm glad you had a great time. Quote Link to comment
+LandRover Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 But did you get the cache? Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 But of course! I got it last weekend, my wife got it this weekend. It was after we got back to the car we noticed the pool of red (cars can bleed??) in the dirt. Quote Link to comment
