Winter caching is our favorite time, but this winter has been really tough so far. If you’re willing to tramp through the snow any of my hides (over 20 of them) with the snowflake icon are at least 2′ off the ground. Some ARE hanging in evergreens, but they are all small and regular size caches. Several of my other hides that are not marked as winter friendly have also been found in recent weeks. If anyone wants any additional help or hints on any of my hides just PM me. We would like everyone to be able to experience the fun of winter geocaching in Wisconsin.

That one is “Is There an Easy Way Up THe Hill”. It’s supposed to be wedged in the fallen tree about 3′ off the ground. It is winter friendly as far as finding it, but it would probably take 20 minutes to climb the hill in this snow. I’ll take the wf icon off for now.
I HAVE 11 NEW CACHES IN THE LA CROSSE AREA AND ALL OF THEM ARE WINTER FREINDLY
We have a list of 40 or so winter friendly caches in the Marquette, MI area. We have found many, but not all, of these and can attest they are OK even in the U.P. snow. The list was compiled by two of the prominent Marquette caching teams, 2227 and Quirktoo in Dec. of 2008.
As has been discussed here before, the U.P. is a terrific area to hunt for great caches. This list has a lot of micros, but also many larger, and a whole lot of them are creative hides in scenic places.
If you are planning a trip to the Marquette / Ishpeming area, send a note. We’ll be happy to share the list.
cYa, Chris & Jim
