The Last Day

I’m in Pennsylvania Dutch Country now (Lancaster County, PA) to recuperate before making the last leg of my journey back to New York tomorrow. Still need to recap the events from the past week, beginning with my trip to Vegas, but that should all be forthcoming soon. In all, I’ve traveled over 6,500 miles in…

From the auto shop to the fields of Indiana: the race to find a special geocoin!

Cornfield at night with headlights shining

After my car was finally released by the auto shop, I hightailed it to the Indiana border on a late Thursday afternoon. My mission: pick up a geocoin that was hidden in a geocache somewhere near the corn fields of Warren, Indiana. I had first found this coin in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania sometime last year,…

My encounter with the locals (and why I must avoid them at all costs)

Yesterday was my last day off before I had to head back to work, so I decided to make the most of it by doing a relaxing afternoon of geocaching. First one I found was at a park where I once worked as a camp counselor, bringing back fond memories of getting jumped and beaten…

Am I being paranoid, or do the locals here really do want to cut me up with rusty razors?

Since I’ve been putting myself “out there,” especially when it comes to geocaching, I have so far: Been chased by the police Been chased by dogs Gotten poison ivy rashes all over me Stepped on doggie doo (this in an area where dogs aren’t allowed) Picked up fossilized horsey poo thinking they were rocks May…
