OK, I'll put something out there. I am working my way through Rickrich caches and saw two newer ones in the West Metro.

I'd love to go but my ankle still hasn't healed yet...

There is a parking lot in the park. I am not sure exactly where it is but that is where we'll meet. If someone has coordinates for the parking, let me know!

Brand new park... I am taking a guess at the parking coords, as the googly earth map does not show the "entrance" but this should get you close...
N44 59.439, W93 36.816.

Small paved entrance on north side of "old highway 12", it is on a bend in the road, so be careful on the approach, not sure how many people would expect a turn up into that spot.

This park is named after my oldest friend's mother-in-law who passed away years ago. Sue, who lived on the nearby lake, was a beloved mother to four awesome daughters and a passionate nature lover.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it there for WNC, but I really hope I can. If not, have a great time.

I just got a nüvi tonight, is there a good way to input the coords for a waypoint to get directions to? I'm a noob once again Razz

Thanks

I bought the Nuvi 500, it's made for geocaching. I just drop a PQ in and I'm ready to go. It shows all the caches on the map and cache info. Plus you can log them in and the map shows them found. It's a good tool for getting to close parking most of the time. Then I use my other gpsr.
