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. :-)

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. ;-)

It must be the hair. And his stream-of-consciousness style of
posting that reminds me of ... oh, nevermind ...

p.s. I have the Magellan Explorist 200, and it's a fine little
handheld, but no more accurate than units at half the cost. I got a
great deal online, but I'll be damned if I can remember where I got it.

"but I'll be damned if I can remember where I got it."

Or where you last placed it?

Yeah; that too.

Sorta on topic - has anyone else ever tried the geocaching thing? I found a
few caches close by to see if it was fun. I was actually disappointed. I
liked the GPS part of navigating to specific coordinates; but the
hide-n-seek part of trying to find some little box hidden within a 30'
radius didn't hold much appeal.

It probably didn't help that a couple were in less than desirable locations
near dumpsters. Others were nigh impossible. It would probably be more fun
the more rural the setting; but I haven't had the opportunity for
close-to-home caches.

Joe F.
