Might buy a gps in the near future, so I have started to look around a little. I have not spent a lot of time trying to figure out the difference between them all yet, but can anyone explain why a Garmin 76C is like $500 and a Lowrance color gps is like $250? I also see that the lakemaster chip works for Lowrance but not Garmin. What are the + and - for garmin vs. others. Is the Garmin really worth the extra money? I assume that there is some type of chip out there for garmin that covers our area lakes?
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
