Steeling Myself For Pittsburgh

After staying in Somerset for the night (about 70 miles from Pittsburgh), I got up at the crack of dawn to get to the city early enough for a day of sightseeing. BTW, don’t stay at the America’s Best Value Inn here. While it was cheap, my pillowcase had blood stains on them, the room…

Note to self: If you want some action, go to a children’s park

Spent another afternoon of wandering about, beginning at a mausoleum and ending at one of my favorite supermarkets so I could grab up some TV dinners. Ah the single’s life. One of the places I stopped at was a newly renovated playground so I could hunt for a micro-sized geocache. I quickly found the cache,…

Horse's Rear End

Man, I wish I had more riveting stuff to report here, but the truth is I’m dead in the water for the rest of the summer after emptying my PayPal account to get my MacBook. Still worth it though, and I’d absolutely do it again. In the meantime, I’ve been doing some local caching to…

Going where all the bodies are buried!

After finally wrapping things up at work, I received an email notification of a new geocache that had been hidden near the spot where a dead body had once been uncovered in a murder that took place several years ago. As the story goes, a female junkie shacked up with a new boyfriend and decided…

Geocaching into the Mist

Verrazano Bridge and Fog

The other weekend I embarked on another historical geocaching hunt commemorating the Battle of Brooklyn, beginning first at Fort Hamilton Park, which is easily one of my favorite areas because of its proximity to the Verrazano Bridge. A huge fog was rolling in from the Narrows and covered half the bridge while I was pulling…
