> =A0=A0=A0 b) How many units have you owned?
2
> =A0=A0=A0 c) What unit(s) would you recommend to new cachers?
I love my eTrex...very simple! But we use Kev's 12 (since it does=20
averaging) for hiding our caches.

At least on hour! We didn't have a compass...and there was SNOW!!!!

Bass-Ackwards Cache! =A0=A0=A0
a) Why?
Couldn't find it! Was very tiring and a bit dangerous!

The written description of the cache really clinches it for me...if it=20=
sounds boring, I'm not as likely to try.

Actually cache hunting (not including the evening at REI) 2 other teams
> 9) Has that meeting changed the way you cache?
Hmmmm...no, not really.
> 10) When unable to locate a cache how long do you search?
Usually about an hour...depends on how Kev's patience is holding up!
