Welcome to the GAGB forums and more importantly welcome to geocaching. :cheers:

A great hobby (as are ferrets). You made a decent decision going for a Vista HCx its a good model.

hello forestferret,

I saw your post on the other Forum. I sense a new branch of geocaching developing: FerretFinders. Perhaps you should start planning for a new forum: The FFF - FerretFindersForum. :socool:

There are some parallels with my own interest in HamsterCaching, which is another little-acknowledged sect within Geocaching.
See here: HamsterCaching leaflet. (http://www.backtrail.net/hamster.pdf)

In fact, the more I think about it, the more I can see how these two groups could get together to create a new variation on the game: Put out a hamster cache (a fresh hamster every week, naturally - we don't want to be silly about this) then - at a pre-arranged time - Release the ferrets! See who's FTF! (First to ferret).

Welcome to the fun ;)
