Oh, what the heck...
1) How did you get introduced to Geo Caching? I'm not sure I remember. I
wanted a GPS receiver for off-roading and I think learned about geocaching
while researching..

3) What is your present GPS'r? Garmin eMap
a) What was your first GPS'r? Garmin eMap

eMap, but I encourage people to look at all kinds of units and decide for
themselves.
4) How long did it take to locate your first cache? 10 minutes once we
were in the area. Overall, it took all afternoon because my desktop
software wasn't using the same units as the eMap, so nothing was quite where

another way in.
