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?

"Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
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.

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.

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 ?


No. :-)

had posted about mushrooms :-)

Well yeah, but I fully deserve my old ex-hippy reputation,
John is a retired fireman, a fine upstanding citizen and I
don't ever recall hearing any Grateful Dead coming from his
trailer. ;-)
