    Unhappy Winter Caching

    Well the time is almost upon us. Listing the things that I worry about during winter (fuel prices, when in the heck is my pellet stove going to arrive, will my snowblower work, ect) I hate the thought of giving up my addiction for 4 months. OK, I admit it, I'm terrible at winter caching. I tried it a few times last year (with the near record snowfall) and gave it up as a bad job. I'm thinking of maybe trying GRC's, but I think that they will be buried by snowbanks. Any good ideas?

    Why can't we get a government sponsered tick eradication program?

    what you wish for. I have a cache in the Rockland area that right now is a park n grab, but last winter was literally under 25' of plowed snow. Just look for the "winter friendly" icon. You can pull a PQ of caches that display that icon. I have one for Maine and one for Vermont.

    Plus it's a lot easier to use snowshoes during the winter....
    Why not live life like it is your last day....instead of pretending to be a member of the Peter Pan Club and believing you will be around forever.

    In the winter I swap one addiction for another (geocaching for snowmobiling) . . . which works out well for me. When there isn't enough snow to go sledding I geocache on my free time . . . and when there is enough snow to go sledding I go sledding vs. digging through snowbanks (I do enough digging when I get the sled stuck.)

    I got a winch I can sell you real cheap if you are interested to pull the sled out.

    True story . . . my brother actually has a winch mounted to his very, very heavy Yamahahahaha four-stroke snowmobile. Of course when he gets that sled stuck it's really, really hard to get it unstuck.
