Nighttime Geocaching

It's the end of February, which means that March (and Spring) is right around the corner! Yayy!! Last night and into this morning, we've had one hell of a snow storm here in Milwaukee. Perfect sled riding weather, but horrible geocaching weather! lol ;)



Since I have some downtime between now & Spring, I've been tooling around on Geocaching.com looking for local geo-events & adding some more "To Do" geocaches to my to-do list once the caching season hits.

This GEOCACHE is on the top of my list! It's a night-time only cache that requires a flashlight in order to see reflectors on trees to point you in the direction of the cache. I LOVE nighttime geocaching all year round! (Even ones that aren't meant for nighttime caching.) Honestly, I've had some of my best memories from nighttime hunting with friends. What's better than hiking through woods at night with friends with a flashlight looking for hidden treasure?!
 (This was taken during one of our nighttime geocaching adventures last year w/ friends.)

Though I will admit that you have to be careful because if you're hiking in a park after hours, cops will stop you & ask what you're doing and eventually kick you out. (This happened to us last year lol) The cop was super nice about it though, so we lucked out. ;)

Another cool nighttime geocache adventure we did was when we hiked through the woods to find this tree & climbed to the top...(Chris & 2 friends climbed it. I don't do heights! lol)
If you're interested in doing a nighttime geocache, all ya gotta do is go to Geocaching.com & make a "New Pocket Query" (click on Your Profile--Pocket Queries--New Pocket Query) & from there, you can custom your search for what kind of geocache(s) you want.

Say you're looking for a nighttime geocache, then you'd click the Night Cache symbol only.
Or maybe you want a Night Cache that requires a flashlight, then you'd click on the Flashlight Required symbol.

You get the idea.

Well, that's it for this post! If you guys & gals have any questions/comments, feel free to post'em below! :) I'll be blogging our geocaching adventures when the weather is a little more cache friendly.
