I've been working on this since last spring just cause I didn't like seeing those empty boxes. I'm glad to hear there is a challenge cache for me when I'm done. I don't have Feb 29, so I hope to be there to celebrate. Sounds great.

Now it will be at least 11 December 2011 before I finish filling in my grid. I've already cleared a swath of caches between my house and the Rosemount Armory and I wasn't going to stray at all on my way home from Guards today. There is a new El Hanzo cache 1.1 miles from my home coordinates, but I'm done driving for today and in this snow it will be tomorrow by the time I walk over there.

That's okay! I hope there are a bunch of us that didn't make it out today! I missed last Saturday too so I have 2 days left so far to do next December.

Trekkin' managed to get the one cache a mile from home that we'd saved for just such a day. And he said it was a stupid mistake to try it, given the conditions. This was in the early stages of the storm. Down to four days, the last being 10/1.

The reason we had so many December holes is coming back to us now.

well I got lucky and already had that day. But I've got a big hole this coming week. And like T&B it is coming back to my why there is a big hole there!

Yeah, we love winter caching so I'm surprised at the fact that Dec and Jan are the ones with the most holes....but this business with bitter cold probably explains it, huh?

I was lucky I had yesterday but had to venture out and get one today...it was awfully cold.

15T I'm surprised you didn't camp out at the armory Sat night - I did it just wasnt worth trying to get home.

We ventured out on Saturday, but the road we needed to take was lower than the highway, and therefore full of that white stuff. We did make it out yesterday though, so I only have one day I need to cache next December.
Oh, and thanks to Jrest for hiding a bunch of new caches out in my neck of the woods, I was running out of things to find this winter!

No problem Red... PS, should be plenty of tracks to follow to those. Some friendly cachers scored a pile of FTF's in the dark, up to thier waists in snow last night... Was fun to read thier logs!!!

I have a different reason for holes in December and January find calendar. No caches hidden within 100 miles from my coordiantes-2 weeks running. Infact I live very close to North Dakota border and there are NO new caches for this month for the whole state!!!!

Oh yeah we get snow up here too so at least I'm not tempted to go out in the weather to hunt-so guess my calendar is just going to stay holey. Laughing
