    I cached a lot last winter. But this winter seems a bit less condusive to caching – it’s either really cold or there’s 10 inches of snow or it’s icy or raining….

    But now – it’s warming up a bit and there are no snowstorms or ice storms in the forecast! Any suggestions for winter friendly caches?

    If you haven’t hit the Janesville area you may want to try that! There are a lot of caches there and if memory serves me correctly you should be able to do most of them in the winter. There are also a few in Beloit…I think you can do all of those w/ the exception of my Capture the Flag VII.
    We’ve been out caching at least once a week all winter…even in the snow!
    Good luck and Happy Caching!

    Regarding caches I’ve FOUND, not many are jumping out to me right now … I have a lot of favorites, but most are near the ground (or part of them is on a series) … so I’d have to say:

    – Lakeside TB Hotel (GCHN4Z) in Grafton (I think the owner is no longer around, but the cache is there and fun and challenging and most likely doable in snow, but I’d stay away during icy times). REVISED: this is a tricky one (no matter what the weather), so if you don’t like spending a lot of time looking around in the cold, this might not be for you.
    – Test Tube Tree (GCKZXH) by EcoRangers in West bend (should not be too bad in this snow level, since this is about what we found it in).

    Of MY hides (in Ozaukee County), all of them have snow ratings posted, but here would be the ones that should be no problem at all in the current conditions:

    – Port Puzzle (GCK6YC)*
    – Accidental Tourist (GCK9CG)
    – Cedar Creek Muddy Feet (GCKXFA)
    – Laughing Lion (GCMGP2)
    – Lion’s Launch Pad (GCMGPE)
    – One Thousand Watt Park (GCMMYC)

    * Especially Port Puzzle, it’s all in the city, only if the sidewalks are icy would I suggest staying away.

    Besides Test Tube Tree (as EnergySaver noted), I have 3 new caches in West Bend as well: Lost Park…lost Cache, Bridge by the hidden pond, Geocoin and travel bug CLUB. Just pull up the zipcode from West Bend 53090 and see which ones have been found lately. Good luck. Tami
