On Saturday morning, I joined the New England Fursuiters in a mascot gig at the Middletown Penguin Plunge a charity event to benefit the Special Olympics. I was going to skip this event if things got too hectic, especially with the ongoing insurance claim process, but the weekend was open. I'm glad I went. This year, they let us use the kitchen as ( Read more... )

I thought it would rain today but it didn't rain until night. So it was a humid day at around 75-80°F. I went to Southern Connecticut and did some geocaches, mostly at or near the Milford beach area. By the evening, I'd gotten up to Hamden so there may not be many left for the next trip ( Read more... )

Nice weather after yesterday's rain. Sunny. 75-80°F. I went to SW Connecticut again to find more of this year's new geocaches. This time, I got all the way to Orange and Milford before it got late and I had to stop. Only the last two were done after dark. Downtown Milford was quiet on Sunday night and it was the perfect time to examine the ( Read more... )

Sunny day. 75°F - 80°F. Windy at times. I went to Southwestern Connecticut again. (Merritt Parkway and I-95 corridor) This time, I got as far as Westport before sunset. I couldn't resist doing one more at night because it was at an I-95 rest area but I stopped right after that to save the rest of the geocaches for the next trip ( Read more... )

Saturday: In honor of the all new higher gas prices, I went to Orange County. It was a warm day, sunny and over 80°F. I hadn't been to Orange Co. in a while, so there were many new geocaches. The only disconcerting thing happened when I was in the Wallkill Area. I saw a wild turkey crossing the road. I saw that it had gotten across safely. Then I ( Read more... )

Friday was my last day in northern Delaware. After having the complimentary breakfast and checking out of the hotel, I went for one last round of geocaching. Since the weather was good, I threw in a bunch of geocaches that involved a bit of a walk. Nothing terribly unusual except for the bright pink ammo can at "Pretty In Pink". After the 12th ( Read more... )
