i’ve got cabin fever.
is anyone finding caches in milwaukee, waukesha, kenosha, or racine counties? how difficult is it under all the snow?

Geocharger and I found seven this weekend, down by Southridge mall in Milwaukee. It was fun getting through the snow…the Reindeer games puzzles were our favorite!!

Also the caches around Scout Lake were fun…one was frozen in a tree, though. We didn’t post a DNF on any caches that said they were “winter friendly” except for Lateral Thinking, but thats another story.

Trudy & I are just hanging around the cabin, waiting for a chance to get out and pounce on some of those juicy tidbits in the woods.

I grabbed 5 on Saturday and 7 today. I only had one DNF today, but that ate up almost two hours since I hate DNF’s and I don’t know when it’s time to throw in the towel. The 2-4 inches of ice I found under the 17 inches of snow is what can make a findable cache impossible to find.

What I’ve noticed is that I only find about 1/3 as many caches with this much snow.
