Geocache Description:

Hidden right after the blizzard (14 inches of snow, plus high winds, and -20 degree real lows), I had fun snow wading to hid this, but was so happy to get out of the house, I didn't mind wading through waist deep drifts to find the perfect spot.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did - you get ficticious bonus points if you do this in the snow!


I went on my first geohashing adventure near here and on my way out the door, I grabbed a ready geocache I had laying around.  I decided to memorialize my first geohash with a geocache!  This isn't super close to the actual hash, because I couldn't hide it on private property and I had grabbed a larger cache.

This cache will require some bushwacking and probably a little zig-zagging. Because I hid it in the winter, I don't know what sort of vegetation is around, I'll stop by late spring and check it out. If you stop by before then, I would not be surprised if there are thorns/poison ivy around, so be careful!

I have permission to hide this from the landowner, though I'm not sure they understood what Geocaching was, they said it was okay for people to go a little bit into the woods as long as they weren't hunting and weren't going to harm anything.
