I'm gonna start looking up things about them..

I'm looking mainly to find my way back where I started, and keep track of
where I find mushrooms...

I can't speak to how well they work for keeping track of 'shrooms,
but we got my nephews the Garmin Etrex handheld units for xmas, and
they've been happy with them. We found them at bestbuy.com for about
$90, IIRC.

Can't you just follow the kaleidoscopic trails back to the 'shrooms?

Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high"

Good luck!

I'm selling a Magellan Explorist 210 (North America) for $100 if anyone
is interested. I have extras, a soft case, instructional CD.
Reason for selling is I'm going to upgrade.

Data for the Magellan Explorist 210:

Just about any GPS unit will work fine. Mine is 7+ years old
now and I haven't found any reason to buy a new one.

What type of 'shrooms? I went out for morels on Sunday, but
it looks like I was about a week too early.

I have a Garmin Etrex. I have been able to find electrical vaults
that were burried. I could track them to the point of standing on the
lid. ( the lid was covered with dirt).
I have found Geocaches the same way. We were standing on the things.
I have used to measure lengths for cables, it was more accurate than a
wheel.
I don't really know why the military needs accuracy to 64 bits, the
commercial ones are good enough to place a 2000 lb bomb.
You can also use it to find your car in a parking lot. If you put in
your car it will give you speed and direction more accurately than
your speedometer.
If your fishing in a lake you don't have to paint that "X" on the
side of the boat any more.

Just guessing here, but I would expect it's something along the
lines of psilocybe cubensis.

OK, who's the next contestant in the Conclusion Leap ? ;-)

Poor John must have quite the reputation here, that's the
third reference to psychedelics in this thread and all the
guy said was he finds mushrooms. I mean isn't it just as
likely he found some morels or something ?
