As I work through the weekends, I will not be attending. A good PDA for caching that is extremely inexpensive is a Palm IIIxe. In the field, it does what I need it to do, and color displays aren't really necessary. The 8MB ram holds what I need it to, and will remain my caching PDA until it dies.

(At least one geocacher I know thought that it was Saturday - it is not Saturday, but on Sunday). Hikers will meet at the trailhead at 9:00 am to begin a hike to the summit, and following the hike, we will meet at Cholla Ramada for an afternoon potluck and barbecue. During the afternoon picnic, I will award a 30 cal. ammo can to someone that the winning geocacher can place as a new cache in a non-urban area, so please bring items to stock this cache.

I went to the Palm website, and I found that the Palm m130 is listed among Palm PDA's that are no longer in production. (I did find Palm m130's available for sale on eBay).

<DIV>I have two other questions:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) What is a good, inexpensive PDA for geocaching? I know at least two geocachers who use a Palm m130, so this is one that I considering getting. However, a worker at one store that sells PDA's told me that Palm no longer produces the m130. I went to the <A href="http://www.palm.com">Palm website</A>, and I found that the Palm m130 is listed among Palm PDA's that are <A href="http://www.palmone.com/us/products/handhelds/other/">no longer in production</A>. (I did find Palm m130's available for sale on <A href="http://www.ebay.com">eBay</A>).</DIV>
<P>2) I see that one Arizona's leading geocachers, <A href="http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=34e86abb-5aef-48ef-9285-0ea55e392b9d">Team C.H.U.M.P.</A>, has not found a cache since <A href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=b5ee41c7-8126-4d3f-b17d-eb8f088ecd7b">July 21, 2004</A>. Does anyone know what has happened to Rob and the other members of Team C.H.U.M.P.?</P>
