Well, we’ve been geocaching for over a year now, and we have found that there are far more seasons in which to geocache than the traditional four. These are some:

snow
cold
snow
mushy snow
snow run-off
spring floods
sand flies
ticks
storm floods
heat
mosquitoes
heat
mosquitoes
tall grass and other vegetation
leaf drop
deer hunting
cold
Christmas shopping/preparations

Did we leave any out?

That’s a pretty good list, but I would add Deer Fly season.

Wild Parsnip…

Leaves Blisters that looked like Baked Beans under the Skin. It is a Phytophototoxin. The urea of the Plan needs to contact your skin, and when it is exposed to Light, it takes effect, and that is when the Burn happens… I have had it. it sucks…

Me too. Makes poison ivy look like nothing. It is very common in the southern part of the state. The good news is that usually you need to break a leaf or stem to get the burn, unless you are really sensitive to it.

Well the Wierd thing, was I am not really sensitive to it…

I can walk through Poison Ivy, Even rubbed the oil on my skin.. Nothing…

I did have a bad case of Poison Ivy when I was 16, so I don’t know if my body built up a immunity to it, but have not had it since, and I have had the Oil On my skin…

I did get a Rash from what I beleive was Poison Oak on the trip to MWGB this year. It lasted about a week, and was gone…..

the Wild parsnip though was an experience.

I am not kidding when I say the Rash looks like Busch’s Baked Beans under your skin.. They are hard pockets that look like a Baked Bean.. Hurt to touch.. All you want to do is lance all of them to release the pressure… I think I still have some Scars from the Rash on my Legs…..

Oh well, I will never be a Leg Model!!!!!
