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!
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
Go 500, Rah Rah Rah! … Just don’t let it become consuming.
Flat tire = sub-adventure
