I believe most hunting seasons end on December 31st. The only hunting allowed
after the end of the year is rabbit and quail. So if your planning on wearing
a rabbit fur coat with feathers, you may want to have blaze orange ear muffs.

My
wife and I spent this weekend at Pere Marquette Lodge hiking all the trails
shown on this map: http://www.greatriverroad.com/pere/hikingMap.htm.
With the new snow, it was gorgeous. I found Ravine Trail Cache and Goat Trail
Cache which are in great shape. Hopefully the snow will melt enough so you can’t
just find my geotrail. J
I
am not speaking from authority, but some of the caches mentioned are on
designated hunting areas and are in season at this time according to the
Illinois DNR and the desk staff at Pere Marquette Lodge. At least one of the
cache descriptions made it seem like public use should be allowed at the same
time as hunting. Since I don’t have any experience hunting, I only wanted
to point out what I had found out and let others make their own decisions
regarding those caches. The caches west of Graham Hollow Road are not in the
open hunting area.
Have
a Happy New (caching) Year!

Hello Mark,
As a reminder, it is not necessary to do the cache hike to log the meet &
greet event. We are planning to park in a nearby lot and do the
"Little Giant City Cache" (GC133A). Parking is very near the
"Wally" cache which we will do also. The long hike is the
"Sierra Club cache" (GCE23) and the "Dagett Hollow Cache"
(GC168F). We are not sure how we are going to do parking for those until
we see who it going. We will then do the Earthcache if everyone is up to
it. We hope you are doing well and look forward to seeing you on the 1st.

Hi John
and Laurie,
A very Merry Christmas to both of you.
I have a question for you about the New Years Day Cache hike. I
would like to make the event, but time and health restrictions are going to
keep me from doing any more than perhaps just the first cache in the
park. Do you have a plan for which cache will be first on the list to
hunt, and what the approximate round trip walking mileage might be?
Thanks. Hope to see you on the first. If not, Happy New Year, and
enjoy the snowy day in the woods.
Stay Healthy,
Mark
