Yeah, I know, it’s purple. And pastel. It did look okay against the background, though, I think.
Demonstrated (yes, intentionally) the floating capability of my Magellan GPS 315 yesterday while canoeing with the family. It worked fine (no, I didn’t lose it). However, today my sister and I went hunting a cache in the area of the former Sherman Mountain Fire Tower that Ian and I unsuccessfully tried to find in the dark a few years ago. Caching is pretty cool, provides a scenic walk, and a chance to use the GPS to find things of a slightly more covert nature. Unfortunately, the GPS might be failing, as the screen is starting to have issues. If it needs replaced, the Cadillac of handheld GPSs will have to be considered.
