Sunny, 75-80°F. Just two days ago, I broke my one-day record with 56 finds. Well, this evening after work, I broke that again with 83 finds! As you may recall, I did the 55-cache C&D Canal Speed Trail back in April. That was on the south side of the canal. Last night, 83 more geocaches were listed, extending the C&D Speed Trail to the north side of ( Read more... )

Sunny, 70°F. The last powertrail I did on the C&D Canal was 55 geocaches. This evening's powertrail is only 11 geocaches but it's on the other side of the closed gate so I had to walk. Still, it didn't take too long. Except for that last cache, which was across a weedy meadow, the walk was generally easy and followed a wide dirt road next to the C& ( Read more... )

Sunny, 70-75°F. Started very late today but still did a decent number of geocaches, in 3 states! Started with one geocache in the C&D Canal area in Delaware. (Ran into Drew136 there.) Then I went over to Meadow Park in Elkton, MD, for a CAM 2011 cache and two others. Also did "Post 15" in downtown Elkton. Met another geocacher there too. I remember ( Read more... )

After Monday's 55-cache spree at the C&D Canal, I returned to the C&D Canal for two more geocaches on Tuesday. That was a more leisurely affair for a change. There was a bit of walking this time and some information-gathering. The first was Gas Up at C&D Canal-North side, near a gas pipeline tower. This geocache used to be on the south side of the ( Read more... )

Sunny, 80°F. After work, I headed out to the C&D Canal Wildlife Area in St Georges and found 55 geocaches! The C&D Canal Speed Trail is a power trail that just got published this afternoon. It was 54 geocaches, 53 micro-sized and 1 regular, plus 1 bonus puzzle cache at the end. All of them were spaced 0.1 to 0.2 of a mile apart on the same dirt ( Read more... )

Sunny, 60-65°F. This afternoon, I returned to the south side of the C&D Canal to continue what I was doing two days ago. This time, I accessed the canal road from St. Georges, near the US-13 bridge. Then I drove for a few miles on the road at the edge of the canal. I actually caught up with this ship, which was probably going at a mere few miles ( Read more... )

Sunny, 60-65°F. First, I got the errand out of the way by dropping off the leaves and weeds at the mid-county yard waste site. Then I headed westwards to the C&D Canal to do a bunch of geocaches. I avoided this area during the Summer because I figured the bugs would be bad, but there have been enough cold nights that it ought to be bug-free by now ( Read more... )

Sunny and 45°F. After completing one errand at the post office, we hit a few geocaches along the south bank of the C&D Canal. The first challenge was to find a way to the canal road because it appeared that some of the cross roads had been blocked off and the canal road itself was not on my GPS map. Finally got in via a dead end road in St Georges ( Read more... )
