1. If you get a little turned around, just follow your tracks back out!
2.When it starts snowing while you’re walking through the woods its just beautiful!
Cache that was hidden by tall grass a month ago was now easily found surrounded by snow! Have to eat Wheaties to remove cache that is frozen to ground, then realize my pen is frozen and won’t write. (Note to self: carry a pencil when winter caching.)
Muggles are too wimpy to go out in the cold and snow.
It is much easier to get those island caches without a boat.
It is really cool to see all the wildlife trails.
A wonderful way to shed all those Thanksgiving and Christmas pounds.

I’ve been out caching quite often since the big snowfall. Not many folks have been seeking the caches that I have. I’m amazed at the number of animals that are using the cacher trails.
We normally think of cacher trails as doing damage to our native habitats, however, it seems to be just the opposite. Apparantly the rabbits, coyotes, deer and foxes are finding them the easiest way to get through the woods.
If you’re looking for a cache that had some recent finders (and they didn’t “clean up” after themselves) you’ve got some nice tracks to lead you right to the cache.

I never expected to see this.
I noticed this last year caching in fresh snow in the U.P. It seemed like deer tracks almost always ran right past cache locations on hides in the woods. We kind of laughed about it, as the deer tracks often led us within 10′ of the hide.

You never followed a Bunny now have you? 😉 What I like to do is while signing the log book, I WANDER around aimlessly to various potential hiding spots. I don’t give anything away. Ask the Professor of the Ecorangers….he tried to follow my footprints last year. hehehehehe 😈
