    Default Helpful geocache sites

    Might be a good idea to make it a 'STICKY' thread otherwise it will get lost in time.

    This link in the OP is giving me a Not Found error:

    http://www.brock-family.org/gavin/go...th/osmaps.html

    In post #3 eusty has what looks like the same link and it's working - I think it's just a typo in the OP.
