If so, I am not able to connect the waypoints for the caches in the bearcreek waypoints and those given the link below- or am I just reading the info incorrectly? I hope I don't weary all you CDT veterans with all these questions. It has been over 10 years now since i last used long/lat in a much simplier GPS then the Etrex30 I am now playing with.
