This morning’s adventure was just spending time poking around northern Delaware. We started with snagging a few geocaches near the campsite in Lums State Park. Then we realized there wad a long line of caches along the edge of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. We parked near downtown St Georges and hiked the bike path snagging another ten caches and enjoying the walk on a beautiful morning. We strolled under some big bridges, spotted some folks enjoying a sail on the tall ship, the Mystic Whaler, and stopped frequently to locate a cache and sign the log. By the time we were finished we were hungry and thirsty so we stopped by the St Georges Country Store and Cajun Food Restaurant and sated ourselves with a salad, a shrimp po-boy and iced tea. Now to wend our way into New Jersey…
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
