This is my first post (please, please, hold the applause).

...you can always get yourself an ATV...  If driven responsibly they tread
very lightly due to the light weight and 3 psi tires and are virtually
impossible to get stuck.  Hey Scott, maybe Brian and I will gain a little
headroom with regard to number of finds on ya this winter by using the ATVs
up north/east... well, ok, we have a loooooooooooong way to go.  I think
geocaching in several feet of snow will add a whole new degree of
difficulty.  :-)
