My New Geek Toy

I've been lusting after a GPS for pretty much the better part of the last year. After hiking with a borrowed GPS in Glacier National Park last summer I was convinced that I needed to get one. And yet, I continually came up with reasons to delay they purchase. Well, a week and a half ago, I quit delaying and finally bought a new Garmin eTrex Vista CX. It's pretty sweet although I'm still figuring out exactly how to use it :) Rosey and I have used it on a couple of different hikes now (as well as for navigating our way to the Hard Rock Cafe in Salt Lake City) and it's awesome to know how far you've hiked, how much farther you have to go, how fast you are hiking and how much elevation you are gaining or losing. I've only had it for a little over a week and I already can't imagine how I ever hiked without one :)
