I did have to buy a nuvi to navigate with as Charron had a habit of telling me to turn well after we went by it! :rolleyes: It's been a great journey since that first cache "Homeworld" on Christmas Day of 2002! It's interesting to note that out of the first 10 caches we did, only 3 are still active. Thanks again!
