So you may ask, "What exactly is snomocaching?" It is something we started doing in 2007 during "The Great Northwoods Treasure Hunt" in which we combined two fun winter past-times: caching and snowmobiling.

In 2008, 'refelo' coined the phrase when his team found "Star Bay Monster 2" (GC150K9) after we both had visited the island via snowmobiles.

So we want to offer here a list of geocaches that are 'doable' via snowmobile and are either right off the snowmobile trail(s) or can be reached with some hiking with boots or snowshoes.

Remember, be prepared and always check trail conditions and DNR reports for ice-safety.

		GCXJR3	1888 was a good year...
			This is an easy pezy one - sled up and grab. Very winter friendly.
		GC1FCJ2	360 Degree Lake View
			Another cache to fwe found during the 2008-2009 snowmobile season. Yeah. This one took two trips to the Island and a t-o-n of digging. Be sure to visit Fibbers on the north end of the lake to warm up and have some great food! One of our favorite stops!
		GC1BHQ3	7th Grade Youth Group
			Yeah, this one is very doable via snomocaching. Rode the sled to about 170 feet.
		GC32M6E	Abbey and the Bear

		GC2GZQ6	And The Little Guy Makes Five
			A new cache for the 2010 Snomocaching season placed by our geo-friends cbiij. Look forward to seeking this one.
		GC1X5TK	Animals in the Last Wilderness
			Very winter friendly. Quite close to the trail. We did this one mid-January 2012....about 240 feet or so off the trail....gotta do some half-steppin' depending on snow depth. Easy to find in winter.
		GC1GGZM	Bear's Pot of Gold
			Not too far off the trail and (the final) it is very winter friendly. Depending on snow cover it will cover some half-stepping during the sledding season.
		GCXJQT	Bearskin Booty
			You can get within about 50 feet or so of this one on your sled. Might want to bring some 'digging' utensils to use on this one as it may not be too 'winter friendly' depending on snow cover. A great trail if the conditions are right.
		GC2EPVJ	Bearskin Rapids
			Right on the Bearskin Trail. A few feet down from the trail. Watch your footing near the water. We used a geo-tool for some digging to get the BINGO. Found in Feb 2010.
		GCD8E	Big Arb Ruins
			This was our very first snomocaching find. The trail is marked across the lake.
		GC2GZR7	Big Man on Campus
			A new cache for the 2010 Snomocaching season placed by our geo-friends cbiij. Look forward to seeking this one.
		GC3Q1AP	Big St. Germain Boat Landing
			Got to this one by sled in Feb. 2013. Winter friendly. You sled up to this one from the trail side (road) or from the lake side. After this one we went just down the street to Fibber's for some tasty food.
		GC1PMG3	Bike Trail North - Boulder Junction
			Adding this one to the bookmark list in 2010. By sled you can park and get withing about 380 feet of GZ so yeah this one is doable for the experienced snomo cacher. Note: It helps to have winter caching expereince here.
		GC3DAKJ	Bridge to Nowhere
			Easy to get to by snow-machine. Pretty much winter friendly. Watch your footing and don't block the bridge with your sleds.

			While quite not right of the trail it is close by a couple of hundred feet south of the trail.

		GC2B97X	By Land or Sea
			You can do this by land, sea or SNOW too! Enjoy!
		GC22JEB	Cedar Fall
			Off the snowmobile trail and down. Requires some half steeping. If you have some winter caching experience this one will give a go for it. Watch you footing on the way down and up. Enjoy!
