Wet Maze/The Expedition

Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2013 7:07 pm

So far, the forecast says 16 degrees for the high temp on Saturday. Possibly a bit of snow on Friday.
Not bad for winter caching!

SL...the terrain is fairly level on The Expedition. There are a few areas of cattails and a river crossing, which should be frozen (famous last words). The 1+ mile in, then back, is up to you. How is Mr. SL's knee?

If it is really cold, Linda would prefer to have the cachers stop by the house for hot chocolate, which is 2 miles west of The Expedition. I'll have info on Saturday for those that show up.

Is there a chance I'll perish on this adventure???

Kewl, I'm in. Adventure is my name.

The knee is fine, but Mr. S doesn't care for caching in the cold. As for me... I don't like to get my feet wet, especially in the winter. I did not like what I saw on previous logs, especially for "Wet Maze". We will probably wimp out...again. Rolling Eyes

But Saturday is still a long way off.

Board members are easily replaceable though.

I have a prior commitment on Saturday, otherwise it sounds like a great adventure.

Work covers my Saturday, though we may be interested if anyone would want to team up on Sunday. Any others?

We can leave the hot chocolate at the parking area.
You can have chocolate milk on Sunday!

More like chocolate pops with the overnight temps

WHAT? I am in Indonesia. You can't do this on the 26th. I won't be home yet. Can't you guys wait until I am back in the country. I was thinking one of these two caches for 10,000.

Of course! Just don't tell Linda I'm running an escort service! Shocked

I checked out the Parking areas for both caches. School Road is plowed, although the sign says it is closed in winter. I drove the 2-wheel-drive Buick to the end and both parking areas are good. The ice is good for Wet Maze, although very slippery with this powdery snow on top. No snowshoes needed. You'll be ice-walking to within .2 miles of GZ for Wet Maze.

If the ice is good for The Expedition, you can knock a few stars off the D/T this time of year. Some bushwacking/cattails, but pretty decent. Just a long, level walk.
