    First, let me apologize for hijacking this thread. BUT, I do want to learn more about this topic.

    I know as much about the Sierra Club as ya'll know about the Sons of the Confederate :D It's fact that REI is a strong supporter of the Sierra Club.....

    "REI is proud of its history of support for programs of the Sierra Club that protect and preserve wild places........."
    - David Jayo, REI

    What I'm not too sure of is the Sierra Club's stance on land use related to dirtbikes. I think I know what it is (I'm sure we could all guess) but I don't have any first hand experience with it and I don't like basing my opinions on hearsay. Anyone? :excuseme: I mtn bike, hike, camp, ski....so I like REI....but I haven't purchased anything from there in years.

    BTW, that is a great price for a great GPS :thumbsup: :lol:

    REI is bad. But that is a good price on the best off road GPS. :>)

    I've been trying to map out my areas I ride, but they are heavily treed-- I can't get a signal most of the time. Do some GPS's work better than others for getting a signal?

    EDIT: Never mind. Google is my friend-- guess I've been too lazy to look it up.

    I have had no issues ever with signal. In trees, rain and in my pack still picks up. :thumbsup:

    REI probably has more in common with PETA than the AMA or CORVA but neither they nor the Sierra Club are the devil incarnate. OK, possibly they're the handmaidens.;)

    For $20, maybe Cabela's would be the better choice...politically speaking.

    I resisted getting another one but I did look at the kayaks.

    Cabela's is the better deal as it comes w/the Topo DVD. You really need the better map.And for $20 it's a steal.

    F2G,
    I don't know where it is-- it's packed away in a hunting pack somewhere, but...... I can tell you what's on order :thumbsup:
