  • LSUFan : Please keep us informed
  • LSUFan : Will do Alice
  • SelgoJA : James has a heart cath Thursdayy morning. Please say a prayer for him.
  • theCigarman : I have booked site 36 at caney creek.
  • fishingmcman : i am booked for lot 34 june 28th trip to caney
  • NCgatorgirl : if I don't have to work that weekend, I'll come out for a day trip ...
  • tinkeringnut : I have site 31 for the 28th weekend.
  • tinkeringnut : I should have written down which 2 sites have the most sun as I am not sure now which 2 it is. Site 31 has max of 59 ft. It is the shortest one and since I have a 20 ft camper, I think I will get this one.
  • tinkeringnut : We went down to caney to look at the open spots 28 - 36. they all look good with good shade except for 31 & 32, but they are not bad. I'm thinking about # 29.
  • NCgatorgirl : ok. Thank you :)
  • LSUFan : OK, I think we just need to verify some settings, and it should be good to go. Ther eis always a little learning curve, and we'll get it going
  • LSUFan : «link»
  • NCgatorgirl : This was my first attempt at using it. It was flip flopping back and forth ... 50 ft this way... 26 ft that way .... 41 feet back the other way
  • LSUFan : Lets see if this link post correct:
  • NCgatorgirl : I'll go out in the middle of the golf course with it ...
  • LSUFan : You said the compass was spinning. Has this happened before or have you used that function
  • LSUFan : Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading accuracy, do not stand near objects that influence magnetic fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.
  • LSUFan : I'm reading your garmin oregon 600 users manual online right now. This is taken from the section on compass calibration in it:
  • NCgatorgirl : or maybe not...lol
  • NCgatorgirl : I assume there is some kind of power generator in there?
  • NCgatorgirl : I wonder if the spillway itself interferes?
  • LSUFan : Another thing, even with electronic compasses is you don't want to be standing under power lines or such....as they interfere with the function x
  • NCgatorgirl : ohhhhhhhhhh.... good to know. This thing didn't come with much in the way of instructions. I may or may not have to work next Saturday .. I'll let you know.
  • LSUFan : We need to go over your settings
  • LSUFan : Jan, can you bring it to Logan's next Saturday. If it's like some units, you have to calibrate the compass.
  • NCgatorgirl : :(
  • NCgatorgirl : the garmin is no more accurate than my iphone... I just took it to the spillway where I haven't been able to find the caches and the pointer was spinning as badly as with my iphone... money wasted I suppose...
  • NCgatorgirl : very clever!!
  • 73Rebel : Check this out. I was looking at some caches in Virginia (doing a little preplanning). I came across this series. Look up GC3PBAO. Then using the map down at the lower right, click on it an zoom out to see this series. Pretty cool.
  • NCgatorgirl : went after a few caches today. Couldn't figure out the Garmin. Used the iphone...LOL ...
