Regular sized containers on islands are fun in the winter!
Especially when those islands are somewhere in Hawaii or the Caribbean… 😉
It took us six years to fill our days of the year chart. Don’t try to do it all at once or you will end up not enjoying the caching experience. The calendar achievement is harder to do if you live in a rural area with very few P&Gs to get on those nasty weather days.
Just go out when you feel like caching. If the day is a bit warmer than usual, find a nice place to take a hike. If the sun is out, go absorb some vitamin D. If it’s cold and windy, stay home and read a book… or hit those P&Gs. If the roads are OK and you have the time and money, go on a longer trip to an area with caches you haven’t found yet.
Virtual caches are often in locations where you just have to get some information or take a photo. Some EarthCaches are in winter-firendly spots, but not all. Go on your days off this year, and on your days off next year… or the next… when they will be on different dates.
Do not burn yourself out by doing too much too soon and not savoring the experience. Caching is not a competition; do it recreationally. If you’re not having fun, pull back a bit. If you’re not a winter person, make this your slow caching season. Some cachers even “hibernate” for a few months.
Do what is enjoyable and fulfilling for you and your family. Everyone caches differently.
WRR 51 is a favorite location of ours. It would be nice to see someone closer than we are volunteer to adopt it. If you haven’t been to this particular rustic road before, check it out before the snow flies and the road shuts down for the winter.
Not lonely enough for Wisconsin, Noonan. May 16, 2013, is the cutoff date for the newest LCG list.
But you could go for the FTF on that one. 😉@labrat_wr wrote:

Jay, I still have great memories of the back and forth between the two of us when you were looking to place your cache on WRR 50. Drove by the spot a few times this fall on our leaf peeping tours there, and we will be glad to take on the responsibility for that cache and the other two.
Pete, we happened to check on the WRR final when we were there doing the Hartman Creek Trails series, and we were afraid that it might have fallen victim to the logging… but we found the geobeacon and spotted the container, so things were OK there about a month ago. Thanks for taking on the final for this great series.
My eTrex20 has done that on occasion. I always assumed the blank screen was that the receiver had shut down. I thought it was when there were long descriptions like in EarthCaches, but a few months ago it was on some other “normal” ones. I think I had loaded those caches differently, though, so maybe that has something to do with it. When I reloaded everything again, they seemed to work OK.
But you’re right… descriptions, hints, recent logs. Shuts down… or freezes as a blank screen.
The CedarCacheWings killed some crows????? 😉
Congrats on the milestone no matter what name you go by!Oooooo! Nice seeing the 1 followed by all those zeroes under your GC avatar! Kind of like a big fat check! 😆
Congrats on completing the 10K, and a neat cache to milestone on. WTG, TE!
If a bunch of dead crows are being found, I would look out for West Nile virus… 😛
Thanks, everyone! Out of our 32 “milestones”, this is our fifth on a cache at the summer home. If you haven’t been caching at Hartman Creek State Park in a while, a return visit is a must! Lots of great new ones in the park and on the Ice Age Trail… hikes in the woods and most of them winter-friendly.
After seven years (as of today!) of taking part in this recreational activity, we are still having fun, one cache at a time. 😀
Now you tell us! We were just hiking at the summer home for almost five hours on Wednesday! 🙄 No spray but no ticks, thank goodness! No skeets in the woods on a cool windy day after the frost either.
Birdin’s birthday puzzle is ready. I made two versions of it: one with 45 pieces, one with 112 pieces.
Both are by the following links only. Do whichever one suits your fancy… or do both. 😉45 pieces: http://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=36e32bd706e6

Slightly off topic is that we hope none of you ever have to have a year like we are going through personally. But if you do I can guarantee that your geocaching friends will be some of the people that you will be able to count on to help you through tough times.
Well said, Mister GT. :yes:
We have no children of our own, so we are aunt and uncle (and great-aunt and great-uncle) to almost forty of our siblings’ descendants and those who have married them. I guess I would be like the aunt then, but since I have all those “Granny” puzzle caches out there, I’m probably more of a grandma. 😉
Whoever I am, I am the very literate one… writing lots of words in posts and in logs! :LOL:
BTW, amita17, you can be my little sister anytime.
