Out of sheer curiosity, what GPS do you have?

Garmin nuvi 660.

I've been using hand-held Garmins for geocaching for several years, and
while I've found them somewhat useful for traveling purposes, as well, I'd
never depend on a GPS as my primary or only navigation tool.

She usually does really well. Even works for not getting us lost in DC,
which is quite an accomplishment (I'm a very good navigator with a good
sense of direction, and DC is the only place I've ever been lost in).

Wow. I wonder if he ever found them....

He said that they had signals for some of the others. I hope they found the
dogs. They might've been okay as a pack, chasing a bear, but one-one-one,
they probably wouldn't stand a chance.

Dafi, the Sibe we had years ago, used to dig himself holes like that.

I found it to be really interesting behavior. Pan never tried that, as wet
and miserable as she got.

Aww. You DO know you're blessed in your hubby, right? ;-D

He tries to act all tough, but is a softie inside. I didn't think it was
the smartest thing he's done, however. Human ponchos don't fit dogs very
well for instance, and he (and his pack) got soaked, including his wallet.

A perfect example of the sub-variant of Murphy's Law known as the Umbrella
Law.

Apparently.

I think I saw this mentioned in another thread.... have you considered
Shenandoah? I have fond memories of hiking there with a friend and my dear
old Pepper, about 15 years ago.

That's where we go hiking all the time. We've never camped there, so we
might try that next. Or George Washington National Forest, which is also a
closer option.
