Something that has been hammered into me - has been learning the usefulness of orienteering. At first Dave completely flew over my head with all his talk of declinations and big numbers. . . yes I know how much of an airhead I sound right now. . . but seriously it can be challenging!
I eventually got the handle of it and do indeed feel good about having a compass as well as a GPS machine I've named CLARABELL with me.
Why have I named this GPS CLARABELL? - Well . . . that is what my Mom calls hers in her car, so naturally it just seemed right.
I want to play with both of these more. I've destroyed some nat geo maps drawing little lines all over them and learning how to get lost going north! I do hope to print my set of maps for the trail soon! There are SO MANY SECTIONS. It is pretty overwhelming. But thanks to a gentleman named Halfmile. - Everything is laid out and thankfully has notes.

CLARABELL - the Garmin Etrex20 Super cool thing about CLARABELL - is that I can get a little SD card to snap in with the PCT maps to load! SPECIFICALLY PCT! WHEE!
CoolPIX Camera S570 - This is my current camera which I have decided I need to replace. I like Nikon. . .looking into it.
