Caching in the snow is fun! I don't always trust that someone's footsteps
are going to lead me to the cache, so I still rely on my gps.
And the route I follow in might be better than the person who preceeded me.
It is fun to see where the footprints go, though. I hid a traveling cache in
the snow a couple of weeks ago, and then trampled the area around the cache
with lots of footprints to "disguise" the actual location. Fortunately, the
snow melted before anyone else tried to find it.

- Sorry if this has been addressed before but, if it has, it was before my time... What are your thoughts on geocaching in the snow? Snow covered conditions would obviously make finding the cache more difficult for the initial hunter. However, the next person would only need to follow the footprints left by the previous hunter. What's the fun in that? Personally, I would feel cheated. Don't take this wrong, i'm not blasting anyone for caching in the snow. In fact, I recently did so myself but, only by accident. Ok, I know what your thinking... How do you hunt by accident? Well, when I left home, the snow had all melted here in Quincy but, when I got to the cache site 35 miles away, there was still a couple of inches of snow on the ground and I wasn't about to drive home empty handed. :-)
God bless!
