Then we realized there wad a long line of caches along the edge of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal.

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…
