It rained heavily this morning until the afternoon, so I stayed home and took care of various cleaning chores. I think rainy days are about the only time I ever clean the kitchen. :) When the rain stopped, I went out. By that time, it was late in the afternoon so I just hopped over to Salem County for a few geocaches that I'd been saving up for a ( Read more... )

Rain, 55-60°F. Today's outing started when I noticed that I already qualified for the "Year 2000 Cache Challenge" geocache. The prerequisite for this cache is you must have already found 10 caches that were published in the year 2000. I have 14! Well, back when I started geocaching in 2001, those were pretty much the only game in town. So I found ( Read more... )

Cloudy, 45°F. I hadn't actually planned on going to Lancaster County. I spent the first part of the afternoon doing a bunch of geocaches in western Chester County around Unionville. Kept running into Cruse000 and Dentaldazy, who were doing the same set of geocaches. Then the next closest caches after that brought me to Sadsburyville and then New ( Read more... )

Cloudy with a bit of snow, 36°F. This afternoon, I did the biggest house and yard clean up that I've done in a while. I took out a lot of stuff to be recycled. I also did two hours of yard work. I removed most of the bindweed, greenbrier, and wisteria vines from the fence, dug out the weedy deep-rooted privet plants, raked leaves, and gathered and ( Read more... )

Wednesday was sunny, turning to cloudy; 85-90°F. I didn't check the weather forecast and had no idea there was a 50% chance of thunderstorms. In retrospect, it was a good thing I didn't check. The forecast might've dissuaded me from going out and the rain didn't actually begin in earnest until after I returned home at night. I didn't leave home ( Read more... )

Sunny and 85-90°F. Funny how a simple trip to the bank and the Sprint store ended up with a 7-geocache spree this afternoon. A bunch of new geocaches along and near the freshly-paved rail trail running through town got listed today. I tried a few of those geocaches and even got a FTF at "Get Right To The Point #5" because this particular one is a ( Read more... )

Sunny and 90-95°F. I figured there were enough new geocaches in Salem County to make it worth paying the Delaware Memorial Bridge toll, so over there I went! I actually haven't been to Woodstown in years and there's a good collection of geocaches in Woodstown and nearby Mannington. It was still early in the afternoon once I was done with those, so ( Read more... )
