It was a beautiful day. Snow up passed your ankles. Should have used the Snowshoes but we left them in the truck.

We just got about 4-5 inches of the fluffy stuff last night. Not real big into the snow caching. Not to be OT, but do think caching in the snow gets a abundence of snow in the caches causing soggy log books etc...?

As long as you are careflu adn lift the caches up out of the snow there shouldn't be any problems. All the ones I have found have been nice and dry.

All these pictures have been taken on a maintainance visit to one of my own caches.

I went up there right after the first snow to make sure he survives the winter.

Right now there are about 1.5m of snow up there, so I doubt he will se many visitors

Cool, I've got the exact same view of Georgetown in a pic I took a couple of years ago, only in October!

 

Somewhere I have a pic of the same view taken in summer!

 

I didn't know that the Guanella Pass was open in winter. I have driven over it several times before in summer. Is it still gravel road?

Deb and I in beautiful Crosby, MN right on Serpent Lake, it was about 20 degrees this day (12/27/03), a great day for geocaching. We could use a bit more snow, but the ice fishing is great, will be back up there again in February to do just that.

This first one is Molly and Scarlett digging for the right place to bury our latest vaction cache inside the Grand Canyon National Park.

This second one is all three girls taking a rest in the snow after creating our latest travel bug, "Snowy, the snow covered snowman, made all out of snow" He wants to travel to someplace cold.

Sometimes, cross-country skis can significantly shorten the trek to the cache, while also providing some great exercise.

 

Here I am, on my way to finding a rest stop micro in New Stantion, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the hunt was unsuccessful, as recounted here in our DNF log.

Wow, I hope you were kidding! Burying? In a National Park? :rolleyes: OK, OK, I just got it. Whew!

The cache Winter Night, just outside Oslo, Norway has a great Gallery from the two semi-spontaneous 'Mini Events' held there.

 

This picture is from a cache hunt in Oslo from early November outside Oslo.

The view is supposed to be great...

 

X-country skiing is the rule theese days for caching in most parts of Norway.

 

hbrx.

I wasn't geocaching on this trip but I took some friends up to Guanella Pass last week. One friend had never seen snow (if you can believe that!). The town below is Georgetown, CO.

I used to work at the Georgetown Saloon here in CT. Customers would come in and tell me there was a Georgetown Saloon in Georgetown CO. So I went there. Guess what, no Georgetown Saloon. But there was a bar, so we stopped, and then headed on to Winter Park. Gorgeous countryside there, really gorgeous. since this is about snow pics, I have one, just to stay on topic:

MY cousin finding a cache 2 days ago. We snowshoed in through about 18 inches of snow.

This is from a DNF. There was way too much snow, and the cache was plastic so the metal detector was no help. :blink:
