Still slow here in northern NH.

Cub scout, Boy Scout First Class and OA.

I have begun to enjoy winter caches and have a pocket query sent to me each week with local caches that have the "winter friendly" attribute. Because of the two plus feet of snow currently residing in northern NH I look at the logs of the caches and see if other geocachers have been able to find the cache. Several veteran cachers (4000+ caches) note in their logs when a cache with the "winter friendly" attribute is not in reality winter friendly. The understanding among local cachers is that if it has the "winter friendly" attribute the cache must be off the ground . Good luck

I started with a Magellan and now have a 60CX. Both companies make good units - I like the support that Garmin provides.

My suggestion would be that Geocaching.com create a forum where they post a notice when the weekly meesages are going to be delayed. Even simpler a forum that contains the weekly notices so everyone could see whether or not the notices have gone out.

I did not receive the cache list either. Thanks for the post I was wondering if I was the only one.

Any thoughts on what to look for in the descriptions of caches that are likely to be found with snowpack on the ground. I live north of NH's White Mountains and do not mind searching for caches in the snow, but would like at least a 50/50 chance of finding the cache I am looking for. The caches that are most enjoyable to me are ones that require a walk in the woods. Any other winter caching advice is also appreciated.
