Depending on what weekend it is if i'm home from school, as opposed to spending money to stay in St. Louis, you could stay at my place in Mexico, MO, about an hour west of St.L on I-70.

I have the Garmin 60csx.
I had wanted a GPS for a while and as soon as I discovered geocaching I had to have one. The 60csx is a handheld so you can take it in the car, on the motorcycle, on the mountain bike, or simply walking around. When in the car you can hook it up to the laptop (via USB) and it works with DeLorme for excellent mapping. Otherwise it uses MicroSD cards to store maps and information (it really holds quite a lot). On the motorcycle I love using the speed/odometer screen to see what my actual travel distance is. Took it skiing a few weekends ago and looking at where I'd been was pretty sweet. 20 miles overall; with 14 of it being going down the hills at a maximum speed of 33.3mph. I forget what the max and min elevation were. They are fun to have in airplanes too! I also have a ram mount for mine. In the car it isn't a big deal since there are usually two of us and a laptop, but on the motorcycle and mountain bike I mount it on the handlebars. |

Geocaching is treasure hunting of a sort. People hide "caches" all over the world. Somtimes the container is an ammo box, sometimes a film canister, sometimes a small tuperware container, and various others. The coordinates are posted are you can enter them into your GPS then go find it. I just started in August of 2007. You can find some really cool areas you didn't know about bu looking for these things. Unfortunately a 4 wheel vehicle is often the best way to search cause it's just too hot to tromp around the woods in full cycle gear.

Note to OSP...the Mio C320 is still on sale at radio Shack for $200. I was there pursueing my ever prescent goal of making all of my electonics on my bike work perfectly together. Phone,gps and radar detector all coonected to my helmet without purchasing one of those way overpriced communications routers for bikes.
