      We were going to head up and get the rest of the caches on the trail today, but decided to hold off and go somewhere else, just in case those areas are underwater. Are they likely to be? We have all summer, it can wait a little longer!

        I was on the Red Ceder Trail yesterday (which joins the Chippewa River Trail near Downsville, and it was not under water. I did go down by the river, and it is high, but not flood stage high, so I think that the Chippewa River Trail caches should be OK to hunt this weekend.

          I thought for sure these would be under water….maybe you folks didn’t get as much rain as I did. When I did the Wildwood trail just a bit to the West of there, there were two “RIVER CROSSINGS” that I needed to go through which were each over 1 foot deep…and that was after mild rains.

          (and I really only HAD to go through one of them…the other I could have gone around….but what fun is that?)

            That’s good to know. We think we’re actually going to go further north instead, and wait till Monday. Something about 2-3 caches that are part of some 12-Pack challenge! 🙄 Plus a county we missed on our last pass up that way.

            Bed and Breakfast along the St. Croix, caching for a couple days, great way to celebrate our anniversary…which is actually tomorrow, but the weather’s not supposed to be so nice then!

            And we’re with you, Gary. What’s the fun in going around? I got THE greatest summer caching shoes. Keen sandals, with good traction and a closed toe, and waterproof! They’ve already cut their chops on some canoeing caches!

            Don’t even talk about the bizarre behavior earlier this year, with rolled up pants and walking through spring water in my snow-pacs. I think that was March, maybe? ANYTHING to get close to the source of a spring at an earthcache!
