+fizbot Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Now that winter is well upon us, those who are snap happy should have some good shots that exemplify both winter and geocaching. Anyone interested in sharing? I'll kick things off with one taken on the waterfront in Oakville (Ontario) after a windstorm a couple weeks back. For those willing to brave the cold, this can be found at GCWXMQ. (more of my winter pics at http://pbruch.dyndns.org/cm ) Paul's Pictures Quote Link to comment

Now that's just funny... I actually ended up downtown that evening prepping a replacement wiring harness for a friend's short-arc HID project. I'm pretty sure that's not the beam in your photo though, as his was only switched on for 10 seconds or so. TOMTEC Quote Link to comment

Twister65 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 A few photos from Rideau Falls, in Ottawa. They had the dam open and the ice was flowin'! This is one of the first pictures I took when I arrived. I took this one when I left a half hour later. Note how much the ice piled up! A few other cool pics. (no pun intended!) I have more here.

Guiderchachi You have to upload the picture somewhere, then reference it using the little "tree" icon in the tool bar. Basically, your picture is stored somewhere on the web, and you insert a pointer to it in your post. Quote Link to comment
+AV Dezign Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 When it goes KRACK I was walking to work Monday morning and just about halfway there I slipped on some ice in front of Metro Vendome. My ankle just made a crack noise and I knew I was not goona walk away alone from this. I was lucky a nice woman came over to see if she could help me up and we decided it be best to get help has she was about to cross the street to get help from a transportation building her husband arrived and gave me a lift, first to two potential clinics but both were closed so he took me to the hospital which was on his way to work. Landed at Saint Luc Hospital at about 8am, then waited to be seen for a little while, then Xrays, then diagnose...turns out I have a fractured ankle, but lucky for me nothing is broken or has moved, so no need for an operation only a cast need be done. Wow that was simple, right? Well no, turns out that Saint Luc Hospital doesnt do casts (I kid you not!) So they try and locate an Ortho to do the job elsewhere. Nobody wants to come over to do the job, so I will need to move to another hospital via Ambulance. Okay, lets go! Well no we can't ship you right now, all the specialist have gone or ar too busy to see me right now so you will have to spend the night and get to Notre Dame hospital tomorow morning. Arrrrggg, there is no such thing as sleeping on a stetcher in a corridor of a hospital, club med watch out! Anyways, I eventually got back home Thusday afternnon with a purple fibreglass cast which should be on me for the next 6 weeks. So here are my winter photos for the next little while: I guess it's only 1 star caches for me for a while... :roll: Quote Link to comment
+2happy2gether Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 But it's a nice shade of purple. I can take some spring phtos of my backyard, apparently the dog has been busier than I expected all winter..hehehe... Quote Link to comment

+guiderchachi Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I thought I would add in some pictures of Newfoundland in the winter. Snowshoeing on the shores of Deer Lake in Western NL. Our Pathfinder unit went on a hike, stopped for a "mug-up", and kept on going. That night, they prepared their tent for sleeping by banking the sides and snuggling warm in layers. This all took place on March 10, 2007. It was about -5 C when they went to bed. Guiderchachi Quote Link to comment

+plumbrokeacres Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Here are some pics from last Weds. in Prince George BC. Happy to say that snowfall has melted away but we still have 2' of the 4-5' of snow I had in my yard. I can't wait till all the snow is gone and I can cache without Snowshoes Quote Link to comment

+Landsharkz Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Gowlland Tod Provincial Park. If you ever come to visit Gowlland Tod (spelling corrected to add the extra 'l'), make sure and bring your gps as well as your camera! There are some awesome hikes and caches in this park and it's very accessible! We can also send you links to some puzzles you should solve to make sure you don't miss any caches along the way . The photos on the Parks site are BC Parks stock photos... but nice maps eh? Quote Link to comment
danoshimano Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Landsharkz... "Winter on Vancouver Island" should be enlarged and in a frame! Here's a slightly different one. And, yes, it IS winter, since this picture was taken on January 7 at GCZ8HE. (Simcoe County Trail Series - Butternut. I'd put a link in, but gc.com is down yet again.) Quote Link to comment
+plumbrokeacres Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Speaking of abandoned wrecks........ Found this on on the side of a road on the way to a couple caches ( GC6A31 & GC7778) ended up turning around the road was pure ice and with the hills didn't know if my little Hyundai Accent would be able to make it back out I was spinning my tires trying to get up some hills ( I have Studded Winter tires) Quote Link to comment
+deflection Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Here is one from Squamish BC where the winter has just not seemed to want to end. One of those winters where it cycles between snow, and rain. Once the snow has been melted away by the rain it snows again, yuck. This is from the cache Brohm-O-Seltzer, which is a great hike, with a fantastic view. Quote Link to comment
