… geocaches don’t find themselves. It’s true. And we don’t want to live in a world where they actually do find themselves (didn’t you see the movie Terminator?). So the question is, how do you brave the winter (or summer if you’re in a sizzling hot climate) and still feed your need for smileys? We’ve got you covered.We talked to a geocacher with a streak of more than 700 straight days of finding a geocache. There’s been extreme heat, snowy whiteouts and pouring rain. Jon Stanley, better known as Moun10Bike, tells all about geocaching in tough winter climates in this blog post.

Learn winter tips like:

• Look for geocaches with the “Available in Winter” attribute
  
• Geocaches that are off the ground or otherwise protected from snow coverage offer the best chance for success
• Dress warmly, be ready and willing to turn back if conditions turn against you

Here are tips for the other extreme: heat

•	Wear proper sun protection, a hat, sunscreen, etc…
•	Avoid being outside for long periods during the hottest part of the day
•	Geocache in the early morning or after the sun goes down
•	Stay hydrated
•	Bring a friend and always tell someone where you’re geocaching (don’t have a 127 Hours situation)
•	Mostly, use common sense: although geocaches don’t find themselves (thankfully), they’ll still be there the next day for you to find them safely
