[Az-Geocaching] Question for the GPS Cachers

Yes, I think that is what I was trying to say in my own inane way.  I 
find the wife and I sometimes going to the valley or Coolidge or some 
other place where I might be able to do a little caching.  With the 
memory card in my Magellan I can load a file for that area, which I 
plucked off of Geocaching.com as a pocket query, and go on with some 
caching.  I guess I could load the files into a laptop and take it when 
I am gadding about, loading what I need when I'm there.  galdrich is 
reading in the background, chuckling under his breath or laughing out 
loud I'm sure, "I told you so"...  I am not going to say anything bad 
about either of the GPS's I have until they have been out on 40 or 50 
finds.  My Garmin GPS12's were the main stay for about 200 finds and I'm 
sure the 60C and Magellan Gold will find 200 more for us.

Now if we can just have a drying out spell so we can get back out and 
finding more caches.
