Snomocaching in the Nort Woods

This one is a very eazy peezy slide up and grab. Very winter friendly for those who seek it.  Very close to the Fortress of Solitude.

"Snow" Let's Have Fun!

This is an easy pezy one - sled up and grab. Very winter friendly.

1888 was a good year...

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!

360 Degree Lake View

Yeah, this one is very doable via snomocaching. Rode the sled to about 170 feet.

7th Grade Youth Group

Found this in Feb 2012. Did our snow machine approach via hardwater. Cache hide a fairly nice winter friendly cache. A nice spot for a geo picnic.

Abbey and the Bear

AJP Jr #2

A new cache for the 2010 Snomocaching season placed by our geo-friends cbiij.  Look forward to seeking this one.

And The Little Guy Makes Five

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.

Awassa Trail Red #5

Awassa Trail Red #6

Awassa Trails Cache #1

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.

Bear's Pot of Gold

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.

Bearskin Booty

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.

Bearskin Rapids

This was our very first snomocaching find.  The trail is marked across the lake.

Big Arb Ruins

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.
