+The Jay Team Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Autumn in Central PA, USA ~ My favorite time to cash. Cooler temps, less bugs and oh yes, the beautiful changing of the leaves! Just love it! What say you? Quote
+Castle Mischief Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I prefer the snake freezing, poison oak/ivy killing, muggle frightening, bone chilling cold. Fall is great. Winter all the better. Quote
+The Jay Team Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 I prefer the snake freezing, poison oak/ivy killing, muggle frightening, bone chilling cold. Fall is great. Winter all the better. You get the bone chillin temps in Alabama? Quote
+Moose Mob Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Summer days are longer... more time to cache, but it gets a tad warm (110 - 120) Winter are cooler (40 - 60) but the days are short (daylight 7:30 to 4:30) Spring is nice with the blooming flowers, but the chance of rain and/or wind is higher. Fall has a good balance of good temperatures (70- 80) and sunset is about 7:30 Quote
+Castle Mischief Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I prefer the snake freezing, poison oak/ivy killing, muggle frightening, bone chilling cold. Fall is great. Winter all the better. You get the bone chillin temps in Alabama? North Alabama! Land of the frozen tundra! Not South Alabama, land of the margarita! Not nearly as much as I'd like. We do have a couple of months of weather in the 20-40 range and the occasional drop to single digits. Every now and then this strange white stuff falls from the sky- most often just freezing rain. We do see some variation in the higher elevations up here. Quote
+Scubasonic Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) I like to go after FTFs and winter is more conducive as there isn't as much competition, most folks don't want to venture out in the dark, cold and rain. 381 FTFs so far ScubaSonic Edited October 9, 2009 by Scubasonic Quote
+GIDEON-X Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Here in the Desert-Southwest, it's a year round thing (October Thru June) are the cool months (July Thru September) are the hot months. During the Hot time one just slows down a bit, get out at first light, get done by noon, perhaps a few evening hours......... Quote
+BlueDeuce Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) Early Spring - the snow has melted, the leaves dropped in autumn have decomposed, no plant growth, no bugs. Not the prettiest time of year but it makes for the easiest caching. Edited October 9, 2009 by BlueDeuce Quote
+Team Cotati Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Not raining. Temperature less than 90 deg., greater than 40 deg. Relative humidity less than 50%. The correct temperature can compensate for all of the above except that rain thing. ;-) The 'season' in which these conditions might present themselves is unimportant. Quote
+MFLyons Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I prefer the snake freezing, poison oak/ivy killing, muggle frightening, bone chilling cold. Fall is great. Winter all the better. You get the bone chillin temps in Alabama? I prefer winter as well, but here in central Florida, it is the only season where we don't tend to run from our air conditioned cars to our air conditioned houses. My wife happened to mention just a couple of hours ago that she is looking forward to "geocaching season." Quote
+Knight2000 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Early Spring - the snow has melted, the leaves dropped in autumn have decomposed, no plant growth, no bugs. Not the prettiest time of year but it makes for the easiest caching. Definitely. Quote
GOF and Bacall Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Every season has its advantages. Quote
Mr.Yuck Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Early Spring - the snow has melted, the leaves dropped in autumn have decomposed, no plant growth, no bugs. Not the prettiest time of year but it makes for the easiest caching. Definitely. Put me down for this one too. Except maybe for the likelihood of early spring standing water for those of us who get lots of snow in the winter. Quote
+Turtle_Sask Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I like both winter and summer, but when it is -50 Celcius you have about 20 secondes to sign the log and put your gloves back on before your hands freeze! It sure gets cold up here. You spoiled Americans in your guys winter I would be wearing shorts out Quote
+bafl01 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 in phoenix I like summer one and summer three. Summer two (the real summer) is a little two hot for about one month. Summer one is spring and it is nice, so is summer three (fall) is great to. Quote
+vegaschick Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Our spring is my favorite time to cache, just after Girl Scout cookie (mid-March) and into May. Quote
+Vater_Araignee Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 In any season will do if I have the time, any condition will do if I have the time, any temperature will do if I have the time. I would rather cache at night but any time will do if I have the time. Quote
+michiganman3 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Summertime, when the living is easy. Interesting that last year most posts to logs stopped Nov. 8th in my area of Michigan. The weather stayed quite nice till mid-late Nov. Then I remembered, Hunting season starts in Nov. A good time not to be playing in the woods. Quote
+all done Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Fall, Winter and Spring, okay summers not too bad..........just a bit warm and the rattlesnakes are out and about..... Quote
+briansnat Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 All of them. I think each has their particular attraction. Quote
+Isonzo Karst Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 in your guys winter I would be wearing shorts out yep, you can sure tell the Canucks on the beach on a cold day in December; the locals are out in their sweats, showing tan on every bit of exposed skin, and the Canadians are fishbelly white and got it all hangin' out... Year 'round cachin' is good here - though from June to late October, a person needs to think about the heat/humidity combo in the afternoon. Temps in the upper eighties/nineties with humidity above 60% - steamy. Late winter, early spring, generally the driest months, so a good many areas dry out, temps are moderate, really opens up exploration and caching in the swampy woods. Quote
+Wooden Cyclist Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Early Spring - the snow has melted, the leaves dropped in autumn have decomposed, no plant growth, no bugs. Not the prettiest time of year but it makes for the easiest caching. Definitely. Put me down for this one too. Except maybe for the likelihood of early spring standing water for those of us who get lots of snow in the winter. I started Geocaching in February of this year and I preferred the conditions then. Summer caching is still fun but the bugs and heat are distracting. I was hoping that fall would be as good as late winter/early spring but so far its been too wet. The rain hasn't stopped me, in fact I am making more hides now. Quote
+slowdownracer Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Here in eastern PA it's pretty much the same this time of year as you, Jay Team, but.................. We jump up and down and run around alot yelling.......... GO PENNSTATE !!! GO EAGLES !!! GO PHILLIES !!! Quote
+Curioddity Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I like caching in that season between Breakfast and Nap. Pete Quote
+cachensfun Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 As for us. We think summer is the best. Here in Michigan it can get pretty cold. Right now the temp is fifty and that's high for this time of the year. Quote
+doingitoldschool Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Fall, with spring a close second. Quote
savyiscute Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Well I like near-late spring. It is a good time, with fall clase behind Quote
+HouseOfDragons Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 When I dragged the 3 Small Dragons out to find our first cache, it was showing -6deg C on my car thermometer. When we got where we were going, the trees were sparkling with frost and when we found the cache, our cheeks were rosy and we were happy. Magical memory. Which isn't to say that I'm not looking forward to caching in Antigua next summer... Quote
+Jagski Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I prefer the snake freezing, poison oak/ivy killing, muggle frightening, bone chilling cold. Fall is great. Winter all the better. Fall is my preference but winter is up there too. Spring=too many bugs and it's wet. Summer=too many deer flies and it's hot. Quote
+Crafty Turtle Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Winter - too darn cold for everyone else to be out and about - less chance of being muggled. Spring - well goshdarn it I'm in such a good mood I think I'll go caching. Longer days, daylight savings begins, so I have more evening-caching hours. Summer - Too hot during the day, so night-caching it is - no muggles around. Autumn - at least the nasty hot weather is over, and I get out and about. Preference? Um.... I'll be honest. I've been doing this for 2 months now, in Spring. (southern hemisphere) Quote
+DaveBrews Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I just started geocachng, but I'd have to say Fall for the foliage and Spring for the re-growth. The cooler temp are a plus. Quote
+The Jay Team Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 Here in eastern PA it's pretty much the same this time of year as you, Jay Team, but..................
