Partly cloudy and 22 degrees predicted so far. There will be protection from the wind on most of the walk in the PM. The cattails are about thigh high for Wet Maze.
I checked out the Parking areas for both caches. School Road is plowed, although the sign says it is closed in winter. I drove the 2-wheel-drive Buick to the end and both parking areas are good. The ice is good for Wet Maze, although very slippery with this powdery snow on top. No snowshoes needed. You’ll be ice-walking to within .2 miles of GZ for Wet Maze.
If the ice is good for The Expedition, you can knock a few stars off the D/T this time of year. Some bushwacking/cattails, but pretty decent. Just a long, level walk.
Of course! Just don’t tell Linda I’m running an escort service! 😯
We can leave the hot chocolate at the parking area.
You can have chocolate milk on Sunday!So far, the forecast says 16 degrees for the high temp on Saturday. Possibly a bit of snow on Friday.
Not bad for winter caching!SL…the terrain is fairly level on The Expedition. There are a few areas of cattails and a river crossing, which should be frozen (famous last words). The 1+ mile in, then back, is up to you. How is Mr. SL’s knee?
If it is really cold, Linda would prefer to have the cachers stop by the house for hot chocolate, which is 2 miles west of The Expedition. I’ll have info on Saturday for those that show up.
I dropped a Jeep Rescue TB in a cemeterey cache north of Berlin today, CJ. You can grab it to take along, if you want to!
YUP! It’s that time of year again!
I recall an “available in winter” hide that was under a rock, which was under a 25 foot snow pile, on the end of a Dead End Street! I know, because I found it in spring!
The comment of “above the snow line”. How high is the snow line?
Personally, I try to hide most of our caches as if there were 3 feet of snow on the ground. If it is lower, it is not “available in winter”. But that’s just me!
Bring on the rest of the ‘snowflake’ comments! 😕
I didn’t send one to EVERYONE! Just used the e-mail address for WStemple that is listed in all his thread comments. He didn’t receive it.
So which e-mail address is funky?
This is one of my personal key points when teaching new cachers about the game. I have some very nice geocoins that will never leave my possession. I take these to the Geocaching Sessions that I am asked to talk at. I make it VERY CLEAR that these are NOT SWAG!!
Thanks for chiming in on this issue. It should never be skipped over when educating new people about the hunt!
The stats show that 1409 Newsletters were sent out. I guess that’s 1000+.
Some of the other Associations I belong to have Newsletters, Publications, Conventions, etc. They also have membership fees, advertising rates, and paid editors with staff.
If you can find a member that will put in 40 hours/week for free to work on a monthly Newsletter, please send their name to the BODs.
This is a serious request.
OK. I sent one. Did you get it?
The nice thing about “just starting out” in the first year of geocaching is “learning your limits”! Each hide and the nearby terrain bring a new challenge.
Unfortunately, with each passing year, the agility may decrease, depending on what age you were when you started the hunt.After 5 years, I have no problem passing on high * caches.
Those 2 scuba cache hides in Redgranite? No problem passing them up! 😉

Thanks TBC! 😀
As I recall, the key was taped to the bottom of a picnic table for the Iowa hunt.
Watch for upside-down picnic tables, coming to a park near you…SOON! 😉
