Along Ice House Road

The last cache of a fun day exploring along Ice House road. Thanks for marking the turn-off.




Tribute To The Local Snow Enthusiasts

A quick stop as we headed back down the mountain. We searched higher spots first, but eventually found it near the waterline. Probably safe from snowmobilers, but I'm wondering if a fisherman might stumble upon it? TFTC.




Man Of The Mountains

Thanks for pointing out a fantastic view-point! Lots of those in these parts, and I really enjoyed my visit. Covering the last 10 feet to the cache was a bit of a challenge. I stumbled a bit and nearly fell halfway down the mountain! TFTC.




Caches That Make You Say WOW!

A pretty spot with all of the newly fallen snow! TFTC.




Nature's Bathtubs

What a fun day in Crystal Basin! The river was really flowing over the rocks at Bassi Falls. I enjoyed the beautiful fury of nature and learning about this interesting erosional feature. Thanks for bringing me here.




Cleveland Fire & AirTanker 61

A pleasant park. Thanks for pointing it out. We talked to several fellow travellers who were interested in the amount of snow up at Loon Lake. TFTC.




Jacked Up!

By: supergeofish, t-sauce & Scoobert Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular


Even though I've wheeled to plenty of out of the way places in search of a smilie, there's never been a real problem. Knock, knock, knock. Oh wait, there was that time bthomas and I both got stuck in the mud on a 'dry' lakebed while driving to a kayak cache. Now that was an adventure, but we did make the find! Thanks for the short little tromp through the snow! I wanted to get a bit closer, I mean, it was just a little snow drift across the road there before the dam, but bthomas' good sense prevailed! Getting stuck would have been a chilly ordeal. TFTC!




12/30/??

By: Scoobert Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular


Beautiful area! I was glad to be out and about, and enjoyed the day with bthomas. Note to self: get some friggin' baskets for those treking poles. TFTC.




Vanilla Vodka and Pink Boots

By: Team Scoobert Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


Found on our way out of Loon Lake. I'd like to camp in these parts sometime, but it's not happening anytime soon what with all of the snow. The cache was pretty well buried, but the hint was true and we perservered. Thanks.




Supply and Demand

We were suprised to see that the establishment in question was already open. Plenty of traffic on the road though. TFTC.




Boo's Underoo Cache

By: Celtic DreamCacher Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small


We had a fun day on Icehouse road. Quite snowy up at Loon lake and flurries all the way down, but nothing sticking. Thanks for the hunt.




Cedar Twist

I made it harder than I had to by forgetting the old adage: 'Rightie tightie, Leftie Loosie'. A fun one! Thanks.




At the end of the Day

By: calkids Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro


The campground looks fantastic. Nobody there yet, but with warmer weather it must fill up. I replaced the mushy log sheet and torn baggie. Water dripping off the roof has been none to kind to this cache hide. TFTC.




Jeepers Creepers

By: Scoobert Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular


This cache was a challenging find! Even with a very explicit hint and assistance of two previous bthomas visits it took about 15 minutes of very diligent hunting. Eventually my numb and cold fingers scraped back the corn snow in the correct spot revealing the tell-tale signs of victory. TFTC.




Count Bassi

By: ski3pin & old free heel Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular


The widget pointed us into the middle of a thundering torrent as it cascaded down, so we rock hopped our way out there only to discover that there really wasn't any place it could be. Eventually we spied the cache where the hint made a lot more sense, but took about 10 minutes to get over there. Thanks for the adventure in a beautiful spot!




SnowBound

By: Just a Short walk Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular


Plenty of wandering around in the manzanita and 3" of snow. Finally we found it close to the place we first started searching. Sigh. TFTC.
