Well how de doo dee! Batteries still well and alive - and thanks heaps we are travelling in a motor home around Tasmania with a 9 year old and 12 year old geokids - so do you think I have heard the mouse speak a few times today????? More than a few eventually he had to have a rest in the geo caching bag for Mum's sanity!!!! We are Queenslanders so he will be off to the Sunshine State to much much hotter weather in a week or so. Another plane ride for him. Yahoo I can hide him away until then!
