+wsax Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I'm a newbie and wonder how much searching goes on in New England during the winter months? Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 (edited) LOTS! No ticks or skeeters. No snakes. No leaves on the trees making it harder to get a good lock. This is a great time to cache in New England! And when you start to get cold, go find one of those Starbucks parking lot caches and grab a cup of hot vanilla carmel apple cider to warm you up.

You tell me! PS: Far from a nightmare, it's pure heaven in a cup. Hot apple pie you can drink. And SOOOO much better then the crappy coffee they serve. Quote Link to comment

I'll agree that their coffee is carp, but as far as that "concoction" goes... I'll stick with plain, black, coffee thank you very much! Quote Link to comment
+sbukosky Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Summer is for motorcycling. Fall and winter is for geocaching. There is a good side to global warming. Not as much snow. Quote Link to comment

ON TOPIC: winter is great for caching. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Taken at the Haystack Hike cache in VT in Dec of last year. Taken at the Rock and a Hard Place cache in VT in January of this year. I think that's answer enough. Quote Link to comment
+Boot Group Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 (edited) We started caching on January 1, 2004, and did just fine last winter. Of course, there wasn't much snow last winter.... When the snow is deep, you just have to go looking for virtual caches, or caches that have recent logs (they've already been dug out!). Also, we hid two caches that are "up" (i.e. not on the ground), so they should be accessible in the winter. We're hoping there may be some caches along snowmobile trails, as we are headed for Lincoln, NH (corridor 11, I think), in February. Edited December 12, 2004 by Boot Group Quote Link to comment
+Camo-crazed Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I'm thanking of starting a "Hava Java cahe with coordinates stuck in micros on the lampposts in all the local coffee shop parking lots and the the cache in a mockup jumbo coffee mug. Just to be a little bit on topic, yes there are lots of winter findable caches in the frozen wastelands called Canada, for example holes in trees, micros in sheltered places, and I believe there is even a cache inside of a mall called "baking bread" because it is over the bakery. I know this because I live in Ottawa. Quote Link to comment
