(I even bout a 76cs a few months ago, and I prefer the 72 over the 76)
I'm an unabashed Magellan Lover (and proud to be one) . . . but you've gotta admit that this testimony alone says something about Garmins and their durability . . . it also says something about Hiram being a klutz, we won't go there.

Incidentally, not to derail this topic as we always do ol' Hiram ol' buddy, but how did the beer . . . I mean deer stalking go last week at deer camp . . . and what are you guys up to this weekend? Looks like after tomorrow I can finally say our bedroom is finished . . . and then it's on to the next house project.
