Cody - Thanks for the GPS coordinates. I wondered what they were.

Are you going to the Rubicon with us for labor day? Were going in Tahoe to little sluice and back to Tahoe.

what gps units are you using?? just curious cause i'm about to get a garmin, but not sure on a handheld or a vehicle mount. I know it should be in another topic, but let me know. thanks

Im useing a garmin e-trex vista hcx handheld unit. I got it so i can use it one my motorcycle, bicycle, and vehicles. It is good for mapping, but not that great if you want to use it for driving directions. I havent bought all the software yet either.

The Garmin 530 is a handheld with color screen that is also a radio. I use these as we need the communication on the snowmobiles in the winter. If I was only using it in my Cruiser I would be sure to get a larger unit with a bigger screen. They are much nicer to use. I also highly recommend the National Geographic California Topo disc set available at REI for around $100. It has 6 CDs just covering California and the detail is excellent. It works very well with the GPS for planning and looking at routes when you get home.
