Here’s the deal…we really wanted to turn this into an event cache but based on the rules for events it was not feasible.
That being said I want to invite everyone down to Racine on January 1, 2004 for our annual Polar Bear Dip.
Now I know what you are thinking…You’re nuts!!…but that is beside the point. This will be Mr. Traker’s 13th dip in Lake Michigan and Mrs. Traker’s 2nd. In addition we may see an appearance of Sara from Geoffnsara completing her 2nd dip…Geoff is still too chicken to try!!
Meet us on the Beach at N 42 44.382 W 087 46.726 at 11:30 AM, the dip is promptly at Noon so be on the beach no later than 11:45 AM. There will be hundreds of people there to watch, so the coordinates are needed to find the group. Parking can be found at N 42 44.320 W 087 46.852 or on nearby streets.
After the Polar Bear Dip we will convene at a local restaurant for a little lunch while we warm our toes!
Since Mr. Traker has done this before we would like to give those who are willing to plunge some detail of what to bring:
You should wear:
- (Warm clothes in lots of layers…duh!)
- Swimsuit – wet suits don’t count!
- Sweat pants (running pants – something easy to get on/off)
- Heavy socks (or 2 pair regular socks)
- Shoes (something you can slip off/on easily)
- T-shirt
- Sweat shirt (sweater)
- Coat
- Hat (something to keep head and/or ears warm)
Bring with:
- Blankets (for the ground)
- Beach towel (maybe 2 but 1 is enough)
- Dry shorts (if you wish to change)
- Mittens/gloves
- Hat (if you don’t wear one)
- Water socks or sandals to wear into the water (THIS ONE IS A MUST HAVE!)
That’s it…Have fun!
We hope to see you there.
Just a few days till the dip!!!
Will we see you there?
We will be there…
Polar bears have thick fur!
I think a nice warm fire sounds better.Have fun!
TWO DAYS!!!!!!!!!
I’d come, but the thought of The Beast in swimwear is toooo scary!
I’ve always wanted to polar dip. Since I’ll be 27 on the 2nd, I might as well get this over with before I get too old. I’ll hopefully be bringing the rest of house of brew.

Mark has just informed me that he’s thinking about join you. So, I thought I’d make it official before he could back out. The kids and I will be bundled up and cheering from the beach! Go Dad!!
See you there!
Chicken huh we will see about that
Today is the DAY!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!!
We will be at the beach by 11:30 and the dip will be at noon sharp!
We will be headed to the Chancery resturant for lunch following the dip (12:30ish.)
The coords. for Chancery are N 42 43.924 W 087 46.799.
See you there and have a great new year!!
We just wanted to say thanks for the “dip”. Even though Jon didn’t get to hop in with everyone else, we still had a great time hanging out with those who did. Once a month really isn’t enough times a month to get together with other geocachers!
