Sunny, 70°F. Today, I went to Martic and Conestoga Townships in Lancaster County to finish the geocaches along the last stretch of the Enola Low-Grade Trail. First, I parked just before cache #46 and did caches #46 to #60. I'd already finished caches #28-45 on a previous weekend, so I parked near cache #25 and did #25 to #1, and #26. #27 is on the ( Read more... )

Rainy, 85-90°F. Today, I set out to finish off the remaining six geocaches placed by the Chester County Historical Society. Five of them were up in Chester Springs and one was in Phoenixville. All these were in touristy areas. Anselma Mills, with a working waterwheel and grain grinding demonstrations, was especially educational. I also saw a weird ( Read more... )

Cloudy, 60°F. It was another day with no specific plan except to try to not go out too far because of gas prices. I started with some geocaches in WMAs in Salem County. Got an FTF on "Tagged! - End of My Trail", which was a surprise because it was already the afternoon by the time I got to that one. The "Tagged!" series appears to be one where the ( Read more... )

Sunny, 70-80°F. I only intended to find 8 geocaches today. Why 8? Because that would bring my total for this year to 2,145, which is one higher than last year. So I went to Manayunk and started on the latest set of Schuylkill River Trail geocaches from there. Well, I got 8 finds pretty quickly, so I thought, why not go for 12 and bring my overall ( Read more... )

Sunny, 75-80°F. More "NFL Series" geocaches came out today so I hopped over to Salem County, NJ, to do those. Started late but I was still able to do a number of those. I also added a few caches in Woodstown to the mix for variety and also because I'm probably not going back that way for a while. The most physically challenging cache of the day was ( Read more... )

Cloudy and 36°F. Whether or not the groundhog saw its shadow, I sure didn't see mine! Did some local geocaching within about 10 miles from home today. Got two new geocaches and then went for a bunch of older geocaches that I never took the time to do before. All of those were butt-kicking in one way or other. Some of the caches required crossing ( Read more... )

Had the day off for President's Day. Sunny. 34-42°F during the day. Down below 25°F in the evening. By now, I'm used to 40-degree temperatures during the day so it was a nice day to be outside. I'd planned on going to Lehigh Valley but I got distracted by Western NJ along the way and by sunset, I had covered a good portion of Hunterdon County and ( Read more... )

Sunny. 28°F in the morning but 50°F in the afternoon and evening. Went to Central Jersey, where there were quite a number of new geocaches that got listed within just the past week. The 3 dinosaur caches were interesting. The "Swampy Forest" wasn't swampy today because it was frozen and covered in snow. I crossed a creek at some point but didn't ( Read more... )

Cloudy with a slight drizzle. 34-37°F. It snowed the night before so I was wondering if I would have any difficulty finding geocaches in Westchester but the snow cover turned out to be only an inch thick at most and even that was melting away as the day went on. Today's set was a mixed bag: a few walks in the woods and some urban cache hides. I ( Read more... )
