Well, I stasted back in College this week. Taking CIS (computer information systems). Not really survival related, except maybe for the fact that I need to keep my mind amused to live! So, as this programming stuff is taking up my time, I may not be posting as much. We'll see though.
I receinty hit my 200 mark in geocaching, & surpassed it. I am currently at 207. I may get out tomorrow or Saturday to do a few more. My PDA backlight died on me the other day (static electricity), so, I had to buy another GPS for my Jeep. I ended up picking up a quest 2, for alot cheaper than advertised (by about $400). I do hope that this unit will last a few years...it is waterproof, which is a HUGE plus, as I dont normally keep the top on the jeep during the summer. It is supposed to be here tomorrow, so, I'll give a quick review when I put it into use.
Anyway, my 200th cache ended up being here
A pretty spot, right on the Quabbin Reservoir. It was a rather frustrating day of caching though, as I seemed to be losing my geosense. I logged several DNFs that day...not really sure why. I think that alot of them were due to the fact that they were NOT in the woods; instead, right out in the open, on roads, etc. I'm not a big fan of these, but, will attempt them regardless.
In a totally unrelated story, I am now back on the SAR team I belonged to years ago. You can check out the website here. We have outdoor training next week, and I'll snap some pics to post up. Until then, stay alert, stay alivE!
