When you find a geocache, you get a smiley face on the map. Today we completed a series dedicated to the various editions of the Boy Scout Handbook. That added thirty-four smileys to our map for a total of four hundred fifty. Lou challenged us to get five hundred by July 4th, our geocaching first anniversary. It might be possible. The fun was a bit moderated by the flat tire on the T@B but we found someone who was able to fix it and get us back on the road to Fall Creek Falls State Park!
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.
Go 500, Rah Rah Rah! … Just don’t let it become consuming.
Flat tire = sub-adventure
