+writer Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 When, as you find two caches in the morning, the water bottle on the outside of your pack has frozen. Quote Link to comment
+15Tango Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 When the screen on your GPS keeps blanking out, even with fresh batteries (and you lose your satellite lock when you put the bugger in your jacket to warm it up). Think Globally, Act Locally Life is good. Quote Link to comment
+Smitherington Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 When you can't tell the color of your fingers from the color of the ink when you are writing in the log book. When you realize that your vehicle is the only one in the parking lot of a popular park that is usually well occupied. Quote Link to comment

+Smitherington Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 It was not the pen in the cache!! It was the one that I kept inside my several layers of clothing so it could take advantage of the body heat I was working so hard to preserve! And I had to write fast. Quote Link to comment

+Ozarktroutbum Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Instead of reporting that the tupperware cache is wet, you report is as frozen. Took: Ice Left: In a hurry When GPSr's are outlawed, only Outlaws will have GPSr's. Quote Link to comment
+Rusty O Junk Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 quote: you know it's really cold... when you don't even want to go caching. I just can’t imagine that. We didn’t even make it up to 0 degrees yesterday and Gondolff and I still found 3 virtuals and 2 micros. It’s never to cold to go caching. To cold to go to work, shovel snow, wash the car, take out the garbage, or go for a ride but never to cold to go caching. Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 When you have to chip away at the ice encrusting a logbook, then try and seperate the pages with a pocketknife. then scratch your log in the ice. Did that last weekend! Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon. Quote Link to comment
+bitbrain Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 * When all the other logs complain of mud & all you see is hard-frozen dirt. * When you have to use your hiking stick to pry the ammo cans out of the ice. Quote Link to comment
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Better than cacheing a cold.Had to get that one in there. The Ice so thick you can't get through the ice to the benchmark,slide of the road during the ice storm just to get a picture of a water tank,But it was great the other day,when I found that other one gotta get back to locate those cache's ............Don't you just love it though.. When all else fails Geotry again. Quote Link to comment
+Newenglandah Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 When you use your hiking stick to free the ammo box from that log.... Your lighter plays a big part in making a pen work When its not as fun or refreshing stepping in that river, as it was in July. Then you spend more time getting your car out of that unplowed parking lot, then you did hunting for the cache.... Oh wait this all happened last weekend......and it was -15 degrees......

+-=(GEO)=- Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Is frozen solid and you may as well be sucking on an icicle... When it makes more sense to use the hand warmer on the GPS instead of your hands When snowshoes are required to get to 1/1 caches in any given patch of woods. When you have to take a leak on the cache to loosen it from the grip of the ice A cache a day keeps the blues away... Quote Link to comment
onestep off Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 When you forget your face mask and the your mustach freezes up so bad it just aches and burns. When you get back in your vehical and the air from the vents burns! Please take everything I post with an MDOT trucks load of salt! Quote Link to comment
+EScout Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Found 5 caches this morning. Wanted to finish early before the heat of the day. Still over 80° F at 4:40 PM. However, worried that the Santa Ana winds will blow fronds off of tree in yard.... Go ahead, let if fly-- Quote Link to comment

inconsequentia Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 when you can actually park closer than you thought because now you can walk across water to get to the coordinates when you are down on one knee writing in the log "it's too cold to write" with a pencil you donated and your knee melts the ice and it refreezes so you nearly tear your jeans when you try to stand back up.

+LoneHowler Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 when you exit the park and you look like the abondamal snow man. (I was crusted in snow from head to foot exiting from one cache now kept dropping on me from the trees and freezing to my warm clothing) you can read what elce happened here http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=50531 More to see, More to do Quote Link to comment
+Rusty O Junk Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 When after taking a leak instead of shaking it you just break the icicle off. Sorry, the devil made me do it Quote Link to comment
+Divine Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 When difficulty rating on certain caches drop from ***** to ** because you don't need special equipment like boats to get to the spot. Just walk there. - All you need is a sick mind and a healthy body. - Quote Link to comment
+Captain Morgan Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 ...your car tyres are nomore round, but more like a cube or octagone. That's what happen to some tyres in arctic temperatures, and this is no joke. And in those temperatures you can not stop your car engine, if you want to drive that car later same day, even if you use the best synthetic oil in the market and have brand new accumulator in your car.

+The Weasel Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 After a long day in the cold caching, you take the gps out of your hand, and it is still frozen in form as if you still had the gps in it!!! Quote Link to comment
