We’re headed to the Poconos today. Even by the shortest route the driving time is around four hours, a long day in our present state of mind. We’re stopping fairly frequently. This time it’s to seek a geocache at a interstate rest area. Beyond the picnic area there’s a trail through the woods. Next to the trail thre’s a pile of rocks. Insde the pile there’s a plastic container. Inside the container is a small notebook which serves as log. Inside the notebook is our entry, “8-7-15 SKWhee”. Â We also left a trade item. Â Among the reasons we love geocaching is that it gives us an excuse to stop and really stretch our legs in the middle of a journey!
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
That was our 497th! Today we found three in Mt Pocono PA for a total of 500 finds in the 400 days since July 4th last year! What fun!
