[Az-Geocaching] GPS Clinic

[Mike Ingoglia]

I use the MPH feature to see how fast I'm going when I'm pegged in 6th gear
at the Glamis dunes going around a 300' high 1/4mi wide bowl that's so steep
you can't walk up it and is so soft that if you were to walk in it it you
would sink past your knees.  :-)
