Thank you for the tip on what supplies to bring along. Great to know. We are hoping our girls are going to be into the hardcore adventure and really enjoy it. I can't wait to get out there and try it!!

great tip, thanks for sharing!!

Your response was very helpful, thank you for taking the time to reply. I think we will do as you suggest and start small and research a bit before we jump right in. Happy geocaching to you!!

I thank you for your response here, it gave us more insight on the whole winter geocaching thing.

Hello friends, I am brand new to geocaching, and I am trying to learn everything I can before I start. I do not even have my GPS unit yet, but was wondering; do people do geocaching during the winter? I assume they do, but I am from Northern Illinois and wondered how difficult it might be to locate a cache under snow cover and ice? This will be a family activity for us, so our two daughters, five and ten years old will be trekking out there in the winter elements with us. Is it better we try out this new sport in the Spring? I am excited and want to start now, but don't want it to be too hard for the girls right off the bat, causing negative experiences for them. Anyone out there who can advise us on this? Thank you so much. Julie
