Do you have all your winter gear ready?
I got out my snow boots this morning (which was overkill) and they still had burrs on them 
Now if only I could find my favorite hat. |

every year I laugh when I get out my snow boots at how muddy they are.
I have new snow trax and wore them this morning over my tennis shoes. They kept slipping off. I guess too big for shoes. I got new gators and snow shoes this year thanks to Costco, but that really is over kill. I haven't used them yet. |

So that is why we don't have any significant snow yet, someone is prepared!

Threw the snowshoes into the truck a week ago. |

As someone who is trying to complete that 365-day streak challenge, I'm hopeful we don't get buried in snow too soon. If we could make it another month without significant snow, that would help a ton. |

Well haven't really gotten my winter stuff out yet. I guess it will mean having to put on a long sleeve shirt this year.

Well, I am not going for a 365, but I am going for a December blackout and apparently I only cached 4 days last December so I have a lot of days to cache. So hopefully between good equipment and some winter friendly park and grabs I came make it. |

| I know how you feel, I am helping Talasay's in his quest to go for 365 days without logging a find. It's nice warm work but somebody has to do it. |

Interestingly, all of the holes in my calendar are in the summer months.

July and August were the worst for me also.
