Geocaching with Geocacher Ken

Geocaching in the Winter... part 1 Welcome to my second blog.  This week I want to touch on geocaching in the winter.  Up here in these parts (that would be Manitoba, Canada), we can and will experience snow drifts and bitterly cold temps (as I type this, it's -25C but feels like -34C or -29F).  This is where the attributes 'winter friendly' and 'snow shoes required' become very valuable.  I'm sure someone in a warmer, tropical location must giggle at the sight of these attributes when they hide and publish a cache.  Knowing my sense of humour, I would hide a geocache in a desert and claim it's winter friendly.  Snow shoes may or may not be required.  But that's me. Once the snow arrives and stays, any geocache that's on the ground won't be seen again until the spring.  When you're doing a daily streak, you don't want to be wasting time on these ones.  Unless you bring a shovel with you, which I don't think anyone does.  Can you i...

Welcome to my first blog.  I want to start off by thanking two people; Glacier Ice and Jangie for answering my questions and offering advice. I am a geocacher as well as the stats guy/treasurer for the Manitoba Geocaching Association.  In 2017 I successfully reached 1,000 consecutive days of logging a find. When I first started geocaching in 2013, I noticed that the regular cachers all had a daily streak of some kind.  The second event I ever attended was to honour a local cacher who became the first person to reach one thousand consecutive days in the province.  The thought of having a daily streak of my own intrigued me.  As a newbie to this hobby, I lacked the skill and the planning to accomplish this feat. Fast forward to 2014, almost one year of geocaching under my belt.  I was determined to make a daily streak succeed.  How long will it last?  I didn't have an answer to that, but I was better prepared to make it past 3 or 4 days. ...
