[thekafka]

i am at college her ein plattsburgh and want to do some winter cacching, i'm pretty new to it, and was just wondering if there is anyone up here who does it in the winter

although i am not a pburgh cacher, i have cached in pburgh in the winter. we do it all the time. come to think of it, i can't remember a single pburgh cache that i've found without snow on the ground.

 

no, wait... i can think of a few. but it's a winter caching kind of town if you ask me.

Our first ever attempt to cache was Copperas Pond (GC6E82) during our Xmas-Escape. Even if we didn't find it, the hike was well worth it (wonderfull pond) and it was a perfect test for our new strap-on-spikes.

Hi,

 

I live a little south and west of you in the Saranac Lake area, but I've found a number of caches in Plattsburgh, most of them in wintertime. Welcome to geocaching! Have a great time, it's a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors, have some fun, and meet some really nice people. Drop me a line if you get down to my neck of the woods, and would like to go caching.

I used to live on Plattsburgh Airforce Base (before it was decomissioned) 26 years ago. No geocaching back then, but I was suprised to see 'Plattsburgh' in the forum. Definitely a winter town I remember back in the winter of 1977, we had got 10 feet of snow dropped on us and my father grumbling about shoveling out the front door with the snow over his head.

I remember that winter, SilverLynx! I was living in Champlain at the time (about 25 miles north of Plattsburgh). That much snow at one time was unusual for that area, but I moved there from Buffalo, so I was used to it.

 

We are trying to plan a trip to the P'burgh/Lake Placid area but we'll be there in warmer weather. Good luck, Kafka!

30 degrees below zero this morning in Lake Placid...brrrrrr!

 

peachypa, drop me a line when you're coming through if you want, and we can hit a couple of caches, climb a mountain, or grab some coffee.

LOL, I moved from Plattsburgh to Buffalo, and was there 20+ years before I moved out to Connecticut. Spent christmas in Buffalo this year, alot of nice caches in the area. Buffalo winters are definitely snowy ones.

Will do, NFA. We are not sure, yet, where we will be staying, but I will be in touch!

winter of '77, .... HA! now the winter of '73! THAT, my friends, was a winter.

I was in Buffalo, NY, the winter of '73. I'm glad I missed the blizzard of '77 there (I was in Champlain by then).
