- I will plan on attending the event as well. I've also got a co-worker here who is now planning to attend with his dad (so we should have at least two geo-muggles there). My 5-year-old girl loves geocaching, but she doesn't have a GPS unit. Two caches and about 4 travel bugs, but no GPS. FWIW, I generally eyeball the cache and tell Linda to "come look over here, 'cause my computer says this is the spot", but it's amazing how often she's the first in our family to spot the cache. I did get Linda her own compass and an aluminum signal whistle from REI. Those two items go on a carribeaner and we clip it to her belt loop, and it's kept her from wanting a GPS of her own. She *is* the type who wants to do it "just the same", but we try to make her feel unique on the hunts. It's also her job to pick an item (probably the same with your little girl). Hope this helps. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Sara Carter <beancounter2b@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 09:53:22 -0800 (PST) >For those of you with mini-cachers.....do the minicachers have their own >GPS's?
