Snow Friendly Caches In Northern & Central NJ

[+briansnat]

Now that Old Man Winter is here, a lot of real caches out there will be inaccessable, or extremely difficult to find under a blanket of snow. But I'm sure there are plenty of other caches that should reasonably easy to find in the snow. If you have one, or know of any, list them here.

 

Of mine, I can think of the following:

 

Bottom of Lake Passaic I

Lame Roadside Cache #2

Terrace Pond

Long Pond Ironworks

Fort Nonsense

Rocky Slide Gulch

Swamp Thing

Lord Stirling (a.k.a Swamp Thing Two)

 

Also, here is some HTML code you can add to your cache page to indicate if its a snow friendly cache:

<table bgcolor="#ffffff" align="center" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial;color:000000;" width="80%">

<tr><br>.

<td align="center">

<image src='http://www.texasgeocaching.com/images/cache_icons/snow_icon.gif' border='1' align='middle' alt='Accessible in Snow' vspace='1'> Accessible in Snow </td>

</tr>

</table>

Certain and Castle Park cache are both accessable in the snow.

although Certain would be lowered to a 1/2 star if you were to

follow the footprints in the snow <G>

Did Radio Waves in the snow yesterday. Didn't cause any interference.

 

Offhand, there are a few. Romeo y Julieta, Friends and Heroes, and Rest in P___ should be do-able as well. (Notice a pattern? )

 

Of Team Og's, I'd only recommend The Lair of Bob the Bear. And I'm not very sure about that.

 

BTW, there is a gale warning in effect.

Since a few of my other caches were named, you can add MORIA to the list. The hike could be interesting, bu the cache should be retrievalbe.

[+The BeeGees]

You can add Hemlock Falls to the list.

most of the raritan river/canal caches should be accessible. my "what land trust" is a pretty easy find and a nice walk, but not if you get cold feet.

MORIA may be retrievable but be cautioned that the slippery snow/ice may make the climb difficult. Don't go alone like I did.

Verified today that Sourland Sweetspot is not one of these, though...

Park Loitering

Earth Station Zebra

Bohemoth

Muskrats, Mosquitos and Muck

Hey - cool! I just found out that The Selector has added a relevant new icon for those cache attribute doohickeys that people are placing in cache descriptions.

 

available in winter? yes/no

[+roasteroo]

ROO 1 is more doable than ROO2 in deep snow. But with a little snow both would be ok. Just be careful on the rocks! Maybe bring crampons.

[+HartClimbs]

Christmas Ornament is designed to be winter-friendly unless we see record amounts of snow in northern NJ.

 

Must be a busy holiday season - the cache has been out there for a few days with no finders!!!
