+haggaeus Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 yes! My only TB is sitting for two months in a cache in a slightly dangerous terrain and the cache page says "I do not recommend searching for this cache if it rained in the last 48 hours" - I guess we didn't have 48 hours without rain this spring! Czech caching in US. Quote Link to comment
Peanut Butters Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 *looks out the window at the rain* Remember the big yellow thing that use to be in the sky everyday? Wonder what happened to that thing. Every Geocache I go to involves crossing a stream now, though most people call them paths. Quote Link to comment
S.C. & T.J. Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 While sitting at our campsite at Bryne State Forest, it was alittle rainy in the morning and overcast all day. But i looked up at the sky and saw little bright dots, I thought wow, a bunch of fire flys.. well i almost fell out of my seat when i realised I was looking at stars. The clouds were gone!!

+Last Lap Gang Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Now it is in the 90's everyday in the Northeast. I miss that snow and winter caching. Okay well maybe not miss but I did think when the snow wasn't buttocks deep it was fun to cache this winter. These leaves are havoc and don't even mention the ticks but hey its worth it!

+briansnat Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 (edited) Skigirl43 and me geocaching on Haystack Mtn in Vt last weekend: It was hunting season, hence the silly orange hat. And we did run into a hunter and they use rifles in Vermont! The snow was no big deal, but 35 mph sustained winds with gusts topping 65 mph were. It was pretty neat (and a bit scary). As we walked long the trail we noticed the ground below us moving up and down. It was being lifted by the root systems of the trees along the trail as they heeled over from the wind.

It was being lifted by the root systems of the trees along the trail as they heeled over from the wind. Wow - that's some strong breeze! The wind blows pretty hard when someone who has more than 5,000 forum posts is in the area. The same phenomenon is observable when lawyers are around, so I will turn this into a personal attack against myself. Planning a major geocaching marathon here in Pittsburgh, where a foot of snow is expected in the next 24 hours. We have guests visiting from out of town for the weekend, and won't let a bit of the white stuff interfere with the fun. Quote Link to comment

They use rifles in Vermont, so I guess in New Jersey they use slingshots? I have a solution for all of you that don't like snow. Feel free to drop by with a truckload and dump it on my front lawn. It's still green...in December! Something isn't right here. Edited December 5, 2003 by Team GPSaxophone Quote Link to comment

+JBadger Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 <BR>And that is precisely the problem with "Snow caching." Any expectation of a hunt is limited to the first to dig it out ... all anyone else has to do is follow the trail. I find it most unrewarding.<BR><BR>But I suppose there is no better way to at least temporarily compromise a cache. When I was up in MA in January this year, did not need s shovel at all, but I know what you mean about he foorprints. The cacher before though made an attempt to walk in circles but I saw where he sat down. I still like walking in the snow. Quote Link to comment
+Alan2 Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Badger: Is that a Deer tick right beneath the "g" in .org at the top left? WHat's it doing? Skiing? Quote Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Ok, i've had my fill of it for the year.....i wanted to go caching today...yes i know i can cache in the snow, but i'm NOT riding a bike down trails in the crap..... Quote Link to comment
+retphoto Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 The cacher before though made an attempt to walk in circles but I saw where he sat down. I still like walking in the snow. Seeing where I sat down to take care of cache business isn't going to help anyone. Cause after I find the puppy, I take it a distance away open it up, look it over, read/sign log book then seal it back up, and hide it again. Then I procede to mess the area up. Hopefully by the time I'm done, you're still going to need your GPS to tell you where it is... Quote Link to comment
+Waterboy Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 We were out in the cold today. The temperature at the start of the caching hike was 3ºF. At completion it had doubled, going up to 6ºF. We just do not like to see good cold being wasted when there is little or no snow. Quote Link to comment
+Harrald Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 I feel the need to bump this thread once again!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+Wheelygood Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I love the cold & snow, bring it on...it tends to keep the caching lightweights at home. As for the footprints, do not bother looking for a cache until the snow cover is refreshed. Take advantage of what mother nature delivers and you can treat each new snowfall as a chance to FTF Post Snow. Lastly, I enjoy a change in the scenery. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 So much for me going caching this weekend.<BR><BR><BR>I wasn't to big (i.e. fat) I would look into buying snowshoes. I'm glad I took this past Weds. off so I could go out and play.<BR><BR>Thanks for allowing me to vent. I'm feeling much better now.<BR><BR>====================================<BR>As always, the above statements are just MHO.<BR>==================================== I just looked at some Snowshoes. Gack. 279 bucks for some Mountain 30's. I'll probably wait till spring and buy them on sale and just hike like a snow plow like I normally do un the meantime. Quote Link to comment
+Polgara Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 (edited) I predict the forecast for tonight... it's gonna be dark, and it's gonna be white, probably chilly and maybe some owls. Definetly no iguanas present. The husky's backyard playground. Edited January 18, 2004 by Ce'Nedra Quote Link to comment
TinyMoon & The Pumpkin King Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Here in Central NY, we had temps reaching -40 below this past week, but it didn't stop my parents from finding 4 caches (3 one day, 1 the next). As for deep snow, Santa brought me a Metal Detector for Christmas! (Santa must be a cacher too!). As for following other folks' trails thru' the snow, it snows so much here any useful footprints are gone in a few hours anyway... Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 we had temps reaching -40 below this past week Whew! That has to be some sort of record! Quote Link to comment
TinyMoon & The Pumpkin King Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Yeah, we broke some type of Weather record, most Frozen Day in NY history, and Most Consecutive Days Below ~Zero~ I'd prefer "Longest Sunny Day in American History", but that's a stretch here in Syracuse Even so, we all went to work and such, and some of us even went caching.
