Stats Bar for bubba1772Listen to our interview with bubba1772 of Amarillo, Texas. This Texan has been caching for less but cached from Texas to his parents' home in Michigan. Being in Metro Detroit for the holidays he's been able to experience some snow caching, including our SQ - Wixom Cemetery cache (which is how we found him). We enjoyed hearing his take on some of the differences caching in the warm south versus the snowy north.
Also mentioned in this episode was the creation of memorial coins and the information about coin creation on Oakcoins.com.

We just purchased the Garmin Colorado 400t and spent a day working with it to learn about the unit and hopefully replace Firefly03's ailing Vista CX. In my experiments with the new GPSR I've created a background for the Cache-A-Maniacs (see the image at the right). To transfer this into your Colorado, simply connect the unit to the computer through the USB cable, once it mounts save the image to:
(Garmin)\Garmin\Profiles\
It will then appear as on option under:
Setup: Display: Background: cam.jpg
We'll be returning our Colorado though and replacing the Vista with either a 60Cx or 76Cx depending on the deals we find. While there is much to like on the new unit, the basic Geocaching functionality is missing in favor of the new paperless Geocaching feature which interferes with normal Geocaching. While I'd highly recommend the Colorado to someone looking for a good GPSR for outdoor sports, I'm afraid I can't recommend strongly enough that Geocaching not purchase this unit until basic Geocaching functionality has been restored. I'll be talking about that during the next Cachers of the Round Table and likely Podcacher.
