| Anyone up for a run to Ely over the Christmas break? I've got room for two more and as much gear as you want to bring. Exact day is negotiable. |

| Got them packed and ready to go. Thanks for the note. It sounds like I might also need to bring a large scoop shovel. |

i don't know about a shovel, to each their own. i tried a shovel, (once) it just seems like shoveling is way to much work. i do enough shoveling at home after it snows!!! 
now when i winter cache i use a 4' long piece of all-thread, and of course i only pick winter friendly caches.  when that all-thread goes tap tap on an ammo box, you will never forget that clanking noise. it's unmistakable to rocks, frozen ground or whatever you rap it off. as far as lock-n-lock containers, peanut butter jars, etc. go, you kind of can tell (after enough of them) what they are after you rap them with the all-thread.
there's a hidden gem of a cache 8-15 miles or so south of Ely, called Jay Mattila Cross Roads (GC166Z1). it is a very neat cache in a very cool spot!! it will give your snowshoes a good workout. just a suggestion.
anyway gotta run.
Peace,
Joboo
