What's up with the county cachers anyway?, Northwoods Explorer still has 3 unfound caches from the 26th of November. If those were down here they would have been found within the hour of posting.:D

How about Big Rock Family Trail by Northwoods Explorer? It was hidden on 9/14/05 and no one has found it yet. It looks like it time for someone to get busy and log some FTFs.
I have next week off....... HUMMMMMM wow a whole bunch of ftf in the same day. cool
We've been buried under 4 feet of snow since July :p
Haffy, have you ANY idea how COLD and WINDY it is up there at this time of year? LOL!Quote:

And remember, now that geocaching.com has terrain icons in the pockey query page, you can do a search for caches that are "winter available" (and take your chances!).
:D :D :D
I think someone is telling tall tales!
The real story:

Sheesh! What is up in Vermont that has all that snow??? Are they counting man-made snow at Jay Peak??? :confused: :confused: :confused:
Perseverance is what it takes. I had 3 dnf of the winter last year. I'm not saying that it was easy. I had alot of wet gloves and cold hands. I think that the "3 1/2'" of snow that they have in the county may make it a little tough but I'm sure I'll make it. I'll tell the little woman where and when I'll be back so that she can send the rescue dogs if I get caught in an avalanche or snowed in.
Besides I lived in the county for three years and got winter harden and learned that in county lingo an inch equals a foot.:p
You gotta keep in minde, 4 feet of snow to county folk is 4 inches of snow to those of us in the realm of reality.Quote:

Ya, we have something different... called ICE. ICE and snow and 0 degree weather. Come on up... you southerners won't last!
ooooh - I don't know about that - when I was a child we walked 10 miles in our bare feet in the snow to bring a 5 cent returnable bottle to the store so that we could purchase the 3D glasses when we went to the city for our annual visit to the movie theatreQuote:

Uh huh... The 250 mile difference between Waterville to Caribou is alot... you don't get the cold like we do, the snow, like we do, the wind... like we do. Until you live a Cariboian Winter.... you don't know what winter... really is! :D
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzQuote:

Yes... 30 degrees difference a average for each month.....
Are you... still talking!!! :rolleyes:
Well Jordan I don't know what the heck your talking about. For the last two years people from the county have been come south to get there snowmobling in early in the season.
ski-doo junk!!!
We have 1600 miles of trail here in the county, that dont make sense. We only groom though when its time too, not when we have... oh 4" of snow on the ground!:cool:
now now, careful what you tell them county folk, you can't confuse them with facts... so lets just let them live out their fantasies in their winter wonderlands.... :DQuote:

How to keep the beer cold, and you thought you had some snow!!
