… geocaching

Making a short loop around Route 6 yielded four cemetery geocaches after running some errands in BG on the last day of spring break.

Our first stop was to an old off-road cemetery – its latest burial was in the late 1800’s! Apparently Potterstown was a village south of Weston that burned to the ground and was never rebuilt. The cache was a large treasure trove that included a turtle travel bug we intend to move along. (See below)
Grelton Cemetery is a large, beautifully maintained rural burial ground. Benches and labeled trees were quite inviting, but it was raining so we went on a quick hunt here.
Arachnophobia was the name of the clever cache we found in Hoy Cemetery. Can you guess what the container looked like?
As the rain intensified, we made our last stop at Olive Branch Cemetery. There we found a cache named “Barking in a Tree” – I don’t have any idea why.
It was a fun adventure despite the rain.

Thursday Tommy Travels After supper we went out to further Tommy the Turtle on his journeys. We had heard of a large cache near Haskins that had other travel bugs and geocoins. Although parking was next to impossible, the cache was a quick find and hopefully Tommy will move along soon. It is said this cache is located along the former right of way for the Lima & Toledo Traction Company.
We decided it was so nice out we would try to find one more geocache. “Welcome to Haskins” was another quick find, but a micro (our least favorite).

Geocaching is proving to be a nice hobby – it also helps to get us out walking a bit on nice evenings. ~~K
