Snowshoe to Eagle Source

[cheezehead]

Hope all have a good time. IF the snow conditions are anything like they are here, you’ll be working for the find. Just take it nice and easy.

Congrats to the group that went! You will have earned that one. It was not going to be for me.

Huge thanks to seth, brian and bob for the push!

We have survived. It was farther and harder to get to you than I thought it would be. The snow is DEEP! It took us about an hour and a half to reach the cache and that was with taking turns breaking trail. Great day, great hike, great group of folks to spend time with. You can check out the logs from today as they come in. My “found it” is already happily logged.

Sounds like you all worked for that smiley! What great pictures! Beautiful with the snow. Glad it wasn’t a micro at GZ. 😈 It’s cache trips like this that you remember for a long time. Nice to know you erased the DNF and won’t have to go back.

Oh, and that photo with the caption “Thickets and more thickets” needs to go on the WGA home page, and GC should also pick it up for its rotation. Shows just what you were up against.

It sounds like everyone had an awesome time. We did that one for New Years Eve 2006 and it was lovely. A real memory maker. Glad so many of you made it close to our little corner of the world. Sorry we could not get over to the meeting place and say hi.

We were already on the road when you posted that you folks would be home yesterday. But, we didn’t have time anyway- had to get back as one of the kids had a party to go to. It was a fantastic day- temps were great, and the snow on the trees was really special.

If you want to play, you have to pay. I’m really paying for it today. From home to home was 448.89 miles that took 12 hours and 56 minutes. What some won’t do for a smiley face.

Too bad it didn’t work out for you RSplash. Maybe another time.

Sounds like RSplash can organize and head up next year’s adventure! 😉

My pictures of the celebratory lunch are now posted.

From all the logs and pictures it appears everyone had a great time and an awesome adventure. These are definitely the type of caching trips you’ll never forget. Someone should write up a story about their adventure and post it on the Online Geocacher Magazine to share with cachers everywehre.
http://onlinegeocacher.com/ I have enjoyed reading the logs. Makes we wish I had been there.

It was great to see you all had a fun expedition. Thanks for sharing your stories.

Well written and so true. Mostly the wolves, bears and a few bear hunters go out there. We usually do not participate in COTM either for those same reasons.

So eloquently written, Tim. Like you, we think many of the really great caches get overlooked in the COTM and don’t vote if we haven’t found them ourselves (which we hardly ever vote anymore), but we’d encourage all who have hunted this one to vote this one time. I’d love to see one like this take the honors.
