I've seen two on seperate occasions. I have not seen a pack, but have come across evidence of a fairly large pack, and a dening area. To see a pack is pretty rare, you should feel privledged. I can understand your initial trepidation though. As stated they are very wary and, because of that...

Did you mention your interest in the pines to him?

Sure

NIce report Jim, Amatol warrents a good day trip all by itself. I 've walked the old track and it is amazing when you compare it to the old photos. At a certain point the track is gated off as I recall and it is surrounded by alot of private land with many signs. I don't know how much of it...

:mrgreen: It is okay I appreciate the advice. Bob, I will take you up on your kind offer. This way I can get a feel for the whole GPS thing before investing in it. Thanks. I remember you gave me that one very old Magellon unit but I never got it to work correctly (pretty sure it was...

Yeah, I know what you mean. Damn gravitational pulls always messing with us.

I live very near mt misery road and people keep stealing the street sign. I once drove past and saw a bunch of goth looking kids posing for a group picture next to it. Harmless enough for the most part but eventually this sort of publicity always leads to vandalism. Jeff

Hello there. The photos sound interesting if you can manage to post them.

Hi there!

Nice report and photos! I once spent quite a while browsing through the head stones at the lower bank cemetary. Lots of stories in there, many tragic, lots of them very old. I recall there are some sand stones toward the back. A very quiet lonley cemetary, the only one that comes to mine...

The CSX 60 sounds like quite a unit. I certainly understand the argument of buying quality. I am thinking something like the etrex might be a better introductory GPS for me considering how often I will actually use it. I would use it in limited application only. Mostly to save way points in...

How quickly are the different GPS units becoming obsolete. That is to say, will the csx 60 be old technology in a few years. I'd hate to spend $300 and find it is worth $100 next year? Thanks

Sue, have you heard of, or experimented with sulfer as a means of repelling chiggers? I never tried it but I hear that it is an old time method of keeping them away and is very effective...although smelly. Jeff

Yeah, a deer tick smaller than a chigger I've never seen. Aaron, chiggers in a bunch tend to look like pepper sprinkled on your leg a little bit. It sounds to be like chiggers. I was under the impression that you were pulling then off of your skin. I guess I was mistaken and they were still...

Yep

I have never heard of that many ticks in one shot either. I thought at first that you were mistaking chiggers for ticks but the fact that you can pull them off kind of rules out chiggers. Bob's dog, Buddy, got hit real hard with a bunch of ticks once. Sounds like what you are experiencing...

Thanks for your recommendations. The $150 range is more along the lines I am looking for. I don't need it for roads, just to plot a course through swamps and areas with no trails. And also to mark the locations of a few things I may find out there. It's application doesn't need to extend much...

I couldn't click on the link, but I remember about 20 years ago there being this little thing you stuck on the outside of your car that would whistle as the wind went through it. I recall that it was not audible to human ears but was supposed to warn deer. Is that the same thing?

Nice report and photos!

All right. Despite my reluctance to take modern technology into the woods I am considering getting a GPS unit. My natural sense of direction and the map and compass stand by has led me out of the deep woods on many an occasion but I figured I'd give this GPS thing a shot. Even though it is...
