This is my bit of a blog. Rambling words about rambling days. No focus and nothing ambitious. I seem to write most about local color, nature, and animals, and there is an incomplete chunk about my road trips of 2011.

Geocaching at Meadowood

Geocaching at Meadowood Park in Mendham, New Jersey. According to local legend, a nudist camp in the 1930s. A number of cottage foundations (chimneys, front steps) still standing, and a nice switchback trail down to a river in a ravine.

Part of the park unfortunately has been requisitioned as some sort of storage ground for gravel, wood chips, dirt, tree trunks, and the like. Here's me by a cross-section of tree trunk.

We didn't find the cache. It didn't help that night had fallen during our approach and that my companion's GPS device was accurate to within only thirty-five feet!

So we troops retreated for a warm repast in the form of a plate stuffed shells among the elderly regulars at the counter at the Chester Hills Diner (my rating, 5/10). Stomachs full, a good time was had by all.
