+programmer64 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 placed my most evil winter cache! Quote Link to comment
+PC Painter Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 We went caching, too! Actually was one of the more difficult hikes I've been on, while caching. It was fun, and I think a new tradition for Christmas, for our family! Quote Link to comment
+Runaround Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Finished shoveling out from under a couple of feet of snow. Quote Link to comment
+NightPilot Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Watched the snow at work. Actually it had quit by Christmas day, so I just watched it melt. The 7 ft high snowman on the ramp at Galveston, TX was somewhat unusual. No shorts in south Texas for Christmas. Quote Link to comment

Azaruk Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Had a houseful of guests so geocaching was OUT! We gave each other presents containing cache goodies (how dedicated is THAT!!!) and new camping and off-roading gear. So spent Christmas day reorganising the cache-stash box, cleaning out the Landy of old stuff and repacking with the new, and muttered darkly about friends who don't understand our passion for getting out and about. Once those happy chores were done, we started planning some new hides and tried vainly to refuse invitations to visit friends - we want to get away, darn it, FAR AWAY!!!!!! But we failed - so new caches will be paced toward the middle of January, and, because our plans were foiled by well-meaning friends, the new caches are going to be EVIL!!!!!! Have a happy and successful 2005! Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Florida is a great place for a vacation. We got to go caching in shorts on Christmas day! how nice!!!! It was 5 degrees at Cut Bank, Montana. 20 below with wind chill!!!!! I was visiting parents from Seattle area and only caching I did was to check one of my caches. Too dadgum cold for me. :-( Quote Link to comment
+hedberg Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Working, caching, working, caching... I'll do anything to avoid the relatives.. Quote Link to comment
+Touchstone Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 We did this cache with a bunch of really cool folks the week before Christmas: Christmas Surprise Cache Even did a major CITO of the area to spruce it up for the holiday crowds. Quote Link to comment
+Dragonfire870 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 We opened presents and had Christmas dinner here. Although, the next day we went down to Corpus Christi (snow was still on the ground, especially in the Beeville-Sinton area... Very odd) and cached a little. Quote Link to comment
+Fergus Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 On Christmas day I went with my girlfriend to her Mom’s house for the day. While her step Dad was cooking the turkey in the deep fryer, Glynis and I walked to the park across the street. We were hunting a cache she had found, but I hadn’t. Without any help from her I found the cache. Then she showed me why she thinks the cache should be moved or archived. After that we walked back to her Mom’s house and had a great Christmas dinner. I just wish we had more time to go geocaching that day. Quote Link to comment
Smaug1 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Did my first two caches! My sister and brother-in-law just got into geocaching and introduced me to it. My brother-in-law's mother is heavily into geocaching and bought her son and my sister a Garmin Legend. We did two caches that day, and it was great. I have a Legend on the way as we speak. Thanks to that kind US Mail truck driver for keeping my GPS going, hehehe. Jeremy Quote Link to comment
+Enspyer Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 We found 3 caches after dinner. There were no muggles around at all! Quote Link to comment
YemonYime Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I went online to check the prices on GPSr's because Santa kinda forgot to bring me one. Quote Link to comment
+Riddlers Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 We cached our way up I-5 to Grandma's house and then did the same the next day coming home. Quote Link to comment

+Cool Librarian Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Santa brought me headlamp, but it was kinda big and ugly (I am a girl, afterall).... Went out on a couple with friends, and had some cachers over for Christmas dinner! Nice day.... Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Christmas Day? We went to New York City to see the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, took pictures of Travel bugs in the city, found East River Esplanade, waited on line two hours to go to the top of the Empire State Building to log a Virtual, found three benchmarks, logged DNFs for four benchmarks, and a note for one.

+mfb218 Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Went caching with the honey, and found my first travel bug along the way. It was only 12 degrees out that day and WIIINNNNDDDDYYYY, but well worth it. Happy Holidays!! Quote Link to comment
+globalgirl Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Now that we're a 3 gpsr family (2 dds in CO and OR), all gathered in Springfiled, OR for the festivities. On Christmas Eve, dd2 and I hid a big bag of presents and set 5 wpts leading to it. All hides were very low and super easy with clues at each wpt (like "search the furry octopus" for a many low-limbed tree covered w/ moss) so that each (of 6) grandkids (ranging from 2 yr. - 10 yrs.) could have a go at finding the film containers. Altogether - tooooo fun! The very BEST of new Christmas Day family traditions. Gently leading one's 4 yr. old granddaughter to the "octopus" and urging her to brush away a handful of stray leaves, and then... to hear her squeal with delight "I FOUND it!"... Ahh, it surely doesn't get any better than that. Quote Link to comment
+SamLowrey Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Had kidney stone..... Well, some people get tired of Turkey or Ham. Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Personally, I was planning on caching, but there was 2' of snow.. Couldn't even check on my own cache because the parkinglot hadn't been plowed.. I would have had to had someone drop me off so I could walk in and then they would have had to pick me back up six hours later after I shoveled the woods... Not in the game plan... Elected to stay warm instead. Quote Link to comment
+Square Bear Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 We went to Evergreenhiker!'s Christmas Cache for our 200th find did a couple on the way back to Seattle for Christmas dinner with friends. Quote Link to comment
+wv-yen Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I set up an account for my father then, for his Christmas present, gave him a travel bug (tbhzwf) of his own to watch travel around. The day after, I went out with my hubby and got 3.5 finds, including my 25th and his first . My present was a new Vista that's now on order . Later dad helped me with some ideas for new sig. items. That night I got stomach flu and was in bed for 2 days. Before I came home I placed my first cache. Mom just kinda stayed out of our way LOL! It was a very merry-cachey Christmas Quote Link to comment
Ted's Trekkers Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 When traveling from one grandparents home to another grandparents home (only 30 miles apart) was First-To-Find on a cache in eastern SD. Quote Link to comment
