Question: What’s the best footwear to use in the cold when going out in areas that could be marshy with unknown water depths?
I found a pair of “farmer boots” at Farm and Fleet. Basically they were about 18 inches high, steel toed rubber boots. They were awesome and totally waterproof. I could easily walk through a foot of water without issue.

I decided to see what info I could find about this cult, and stumbled onto this webpage.

After reading a few things, it looks like the website is written by the cult itself.
I would agree….there seems to be more than a slight bias 🙄
Sorry to hear that…I enjoy caching in Hudson and the surrounding area….

It’s a good idea to let a loved one or a friend know where you are going and when to expect you back if you go caching alone in winter.
Good advise any time of year but especially important in the winter with the additional stress of extra layers and possible snow/cold. We can’t all be young bucks all the time ya know.
I would agree….50 caches in the time allowed was tough! I managed it with some time to spare but having more time or a few less caches would be great…and perhaps offering a chocolate prize or two 😈
OFF TOPIC STATEMENT AHEAD
….I once found a cache on the edge of a nudist colony’s property…and now that I think about it one overlooking a nude beach as well…hummmm; not quite the same kind of hazard though….I think the worst that could happen there is that they could ask me to play some volleyball…
[/OFF TOPIC]The cache has now been disabled.

Wow I was so thinking just the opposite…I guess this is one of the rare times where I disagree with you…I think it’s a dangerous place for a cache. I’d fall short of saying it should be archived but I do think one should think carefully before going after it AND be informed on the cache page that it borders a questionable property.
I LOVE winter caching…most years I have the majority of my finds in the cold weather. I have taken some very long hikes in the snow and loved every minute of it. I like to save the long walks and bushwacky hides for winter time…..just gotta get past gun hunting season before I go out….
In the snow you are more likely to rack up some DNFs but most of the winter there is no snow anyway…at least round these parts. Dress right and have GOOD, WARM and WATERPROOF boots and you are in business.

Gently used Garmin 76 Csx, 128Mb SD card and Forarm semi rigid case. Has had an invisible shield on it before I took it out into the woods. I can get a second one for it if you want to have a backup under their free replacement policy for as long as you own it. $200.00
I chose this unit over the 60Csx since it floats, and has larger buttons. I still have the box and the MapSoure CD and USB cable. I will send pictures by request.
Decided to give up geocaching after doing “Pants on Fire” this last weekend. Still trying to bring myself to writing the log for this one. 😯
LOL 😈
Ya that whole unlock crap is Garmins biggest flaw IMO. I was looking into buying a Colorado and they told me I’d need to buy another set of maps for it and the set I had was only two months old (but it was unlocked to my GPS60Cx). Adding another $100 to the purchase price of the Colorado was a deal buster.
Thanks for posting this. On one of my last caching trips I added to my ignore list about 2 dozen of these caches. I know there are only so many parks but hiding caches in subdivisions and in open view public areas is just asking for trouble…me hunting one of these is not worth the possibility of putting in jeopardy a sport I love.
Seems like that would be OK. There has been some interest in this subject. Just no Waymarking section…..
You two just keep on racking up the finds!!!! 😛
