Anybody know where I AM GOING WRONG?

Now, now. My 6th grade teacher Mr. Breau always said the only dumb question is the question not asked! Of course I then asked a math question which in retrospect could only be considered dumb . . . but then again I was never very good at math.
Curtis Homestead . . . pretty area. VERY buggy as I recall. I had a problem getting a GPSr lock the time I was there until I swung by a second time.
I know it was mentioned but an alternative to using software to download waypoints is to do it the old-fashioned way (like me) and manually input the waypoints into the GPSr.
We'll get you through this together and before long you'll be caching like a pro!
