As I've said in the linked thread...

It is helpful to use technology (GoogleMaps, GPS topo maps, or old fashion maps) to find potential spots...but they are just that...potential...

Agreed, and it wasn't my intent to imply that my method was anything more than that. The number of places that I have found with that method, gone to, and skunked on, far outweighs the good spots. (insert head-bashing smilie here)

When I have tried a spot I edit my GPS entry; a + ahead of it means that it was successful, a * means that I tried it but didn't get anything, but also didn't have the time to really evaluate it, and a - means that I spent a fair bit of time there, maybe a couple of times, and got absolute diddley squat. The reason I don't remove it from my GPS is due to my lousy memory; I might just re-enter it later, totally forgetting that I wasted my time there.
