find my spot
Last night when I was trying to go to sleep I realized that I haven't seen my Spot beacon in a long time. I wasn't really sure when I used it last. I got up and went down and looked through my box of crap that was on the CTR with me. Not there. I decided to log into my account and hope that it could tell me where it last sent a signal. I found it. Errrr...rather....I know the general direction and coordinates of where it's at. It's up on Pikes Peak. Looks like the batteries took a crap a while back but before that it sent the same coordinates every 10 minutes for a few days. When I was up there a few weeks ago I took a digger on the way down. I had a real low speed fall but I fell down the mountain and slid down a little granite scree field. I bet it's in that scree somewhere. So tomorrow I have to go up and search for it. Hopefully the snow that's up there isn't too deep. That was one expensive toy so I'd like to get it back.

no freakin' way! if you find that thing, you really are a mountain man. it's not always easy to find the spot, you know....
I wonder what search and rescue would say if I called it in?
Hell...now that you mention it...I wonder if S&R could help with the other issue?
