Since the weather was looking promising (50F, no snow), my son and I decided to get out an do some ATV exploring and geocaching.
Our goal was the Sportsmans Toolkit geocache, approx. 2.5 miles up Mill Canyon Trail. En route to this location, we decided to check on my geocaches that were along the way.
Most of the trail was dry until we got near Mill Canyon. At this point, there was again snow on the ground and further up the trail, several feet of packed snow.
At this point, we both managed to get high centered in the deep snow. Fortunately each machine has a winch and mine also has the TigerTail rear tow-hook system.
To get out, we had to connect the tow hook from my machine to Nicks, and Nicks machine winched to a tree. Voila!
We left the snow and exited Mill Canyon and proceeded back to the main road (graded dirt road) to have a small snack and drink. At this point, a father/son team parked next to us an unloaded a Rhino and proceeded up Mill Canyon.
We continued South and explored a few canyons near the old mining ghost towns. At this point, we hid a geocache (think you can figure out where it's at based on the photos?):
When the geocache becomes active, it will be located at: China Poop Canyon
Oh, we named the cache because of the vast amount of cow dung and broken china plates in this area.
