Handheld GPS Unit For GeoCaching
I'm looking for advice or input about a handheld GPS unit to be used for basic geocaching. I guess I'd like to stay under $150.00 if possible. Any advice? WoodGlue

Can somebody explain the excitement of this hobby? To me it seems you have a machine that takes you directly to the cache. I just don't see the fun in it.
You are somewhat correct, however......the one hiding the cache might use "camo" to really disguise the cache to the point that you can't see it. Also, the hider's GPSr coordinates might not be the same as what your GPSr sees which makes the find much harder. It is not as simple as walking up to a point, looking down and saying" there is the cache". It doesn't always work that way.
A lot of cache hiders want to take you to something interesting.We once found a cache at a civil war battle field in the middle of Oklahoma.
Others subject you to a puzzle to solve before you get the final coordinates.
