Winter Geocaching Woes
Our geocaching has really slowed down these days due to winter. It’s not that I don’t like winter. In fact, I couldn’t wait to go walking this morning so I could enjoy the snow that was falling.
After a combination of snow, rain, and below-zero temperatures, the trails have transformed into sheets of bare ice. Where it isn’t ice, the snowmobilers have left tracks impossible to walk in. Walking is taking your life in your own hands.
I have to admit that I miss it. I miss being out on the hunt. I bought a pair of YakTrax for walking on the trails. Hopefully, that will help. In any case, the weatherman is promising warmer temperatures this weekend. We may even hit 30 degrees. You know you’re from Minnesota when…

Geocaching is such a pleasurable hobby. My kin has took part in several local treasure searches recently. It’s a super way to spend some time together and savor the great open air. Our beginning GPS system was a Garmin eTrex. Since then we have toyed with various different models. But that eTrex will constantly have a particular spot in my memories.

A nice easy one for people and to get the night cachers could be….reflective pine cones hanging in trees
Or if you want to be devious you could do a white ping-pong ball hidden in the white snow….cruel but worthy of a 4 or 5 difficulty!
