It appears that there aren't too many places that DON'T think they are the
"Cross Roads of the Nation"

The city motto is "The Cross Roads of the Nation".
The park district currently has no cache there, as they do not have a policy.
They are currently "testing" the waters, and hopefully we will have another
geo-caching friendly park. I don't want to give away their plans, but what I
can say is that they will have a cool cache out, hopefully in the near future.
I came to the realization, that many of the park folks are very interested in
geo-caching, it is just that it is hard for them to get information and a
"feel" for it, since it requires a GPS in which is a relatively large
investment, specially since we are still a "niche" type of activity.

Marcos,
What park district did you donate your GPS to?
What park are they planning on placing a cache? Are there caches already
there?
I think that was a great idea! Good PR.

I was doing some Spring cleaning this weekend, I found a Magellan
SportTrack GPS that I had won on a raffle. I thought about putting that for
sale on a garage sale, as I really haven't used it. Some might argue I don't
even use the Garmin eTrek that I got, but that's for another thread.
Anyway after some thought I decided to donate it to the park district in my
neck of the woods. They were pretty excited about it. They will be using it to
put a cache in the park, so hopefully in the near future we will have more
caches here in the "Cross Roads of the World".
If you are upgrading your GPS to the 60CS, and don't know what to do with
your old one, I would like to suggest to donate to your local park district,
maybe they can put into good use.
The good thing is that donations to the Parks might be tax deductible,
consult your tax advisor.
Cheers !
