+zoltig Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Due to the recent influx of White Moisture, I think the D's & T's should be elevated at least a star for every foot of accumulated moisture. Who says we have to stop at 5 stars. But once the first guy finds the cache the Ds and Ts should then be all lowered! or until the next snowfall. Quote

I think you'd have to be a deer or an elk to easily make it through 3-4 feet of snow... Edited January 1, 2007 by TrailGators Quote

+Team Laxson Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Anyone caching out there in Colorado? With all the snow on the ground, and a new 4-10 inches every week, I haven't found any since mid-December (do have a few new cache placement ideas though). We should get a list of winter-friendly caches up on the local page (Geocaching Colorado). Quote

Winter geocaching now? You bet, can't keep those people down! (Snow shoes? We don't need no stinkin snow shoes...) A Colorado list would be a great idea, but we'll need names...um...I mean GC waypoints (at least). So post them up and let's see the snow fly!

+markta Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Hi CO Cachers, Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm flying down to Boulder this weekend and wondering if geocaching is an option considering all the snow you've had there. I was considering looking at Broomfield, Boulder, Longmont, Superior or Louisville and mostly sticking to in-city parks and environs (no hiking because I'll be by myself). I appreciate any suggestions, though I realize conditions there change on a daily basis! many thanks --markta Quote

Tahosa and Sons Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Finally got to go to several of my caches in the lower Canyon, just cold, the trails were passable. But I think Snowshoes will be needed for the caches farther up the Big T. Quote
+Team Laxson Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Winter find! YAY! Winter find! I read your log and thought, "You didn't call me." Oh yeah, that's right. The OTHER one. I've got great plans for your Jeep already. Now I just need to ask..... Finally got to go to several of my caches in the lower Canyon, just cold, the trails were passable. But I think Snowshoes will be needed for the caches farther up the Big T. The cold will probably prevent most people from venturing out. For the fifth weekend in a row, we received snow. Only 2 or 3 inches this time. Wonder what next weekend will be like. If we don't get snow, there's a chance we'll do some cache maintenance in Estes. Snowshoes.....humm, may have to add them to my cachin' gear. Them and a metal detector Quote

For once we are glad to be back to San Diego! It was -35F overnight in Fraser for most of the past week and the morning temps were still below zero. At least the cold will kill off a lot of the bark beetles and the skiing was most excellent! We did manage to bag a few winter friendly caches while there and even found a couple that weren't winter friendly (We were lucky).
