Just trying to get stuff organized today.  I want to post day by day when I'm traveling.  Also set up a Google Photo Album.  Plan is to send the best to Instagram, and everything to the album.  Have to remember to share that.

At each fire tower:

  • Photo of something that identifies the location.
  • Start Strava
  • Whatever photos make sense on the way up.
  • The tower.
  • View from the tower if it's open.
  • Whatever photos make sense on the way down.
  • Photo of something that identifies the location to close out that part of the trip.
  • Close Strava

Day 5: Home

Took my time leaving the hotel.  No big rush.  No matter how late I leave, it will still be earlier in the day my drive north.  And I only have 5 remaining counties to find geocaches in. Weather forecast is severe thunderstorms all day long.  At least in Ulster County, NY.  Had 2 very short storms on the drive home.  No big deal.  Didn't stop me from getting my counties, so now I have a contiguous set of counties from Pascagoula, MS through AL, FL, AL, GA, TN, VA, MD, DE, NJ, ending in Saratoga NY. Submitted my info to NYS DEC.  Sent the horrible Hunter Mountain selfie where I'm soaked with a combination of rain and sweat, but smiling because I did it. As a reminder: https://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/76620.html

Day 1 - Driving

Left work, went to the beer store to fill up the cooler with ice (surprised?), and headed north. Picked up 5 counties in New Jersey.  It wasn't exactly the list of counties I was hoping for.  I wanted to stop in the James Fenimore Cooper Rest Area in Burlington County, but it was closed.  Maybe just the building is closed and the parking is open?  No.  Closed.  Ramp barricaded.  I'm sure the new rest area will be just lovely when it reopens, but all I wanted was the cache in the back. Picked up 2 counties in New York.  Again, not the ones I was hoping for.  The cache in Rockland County I picked as a park-and-grab close to the highway was on a road blocked by about 237 police cars.  OK, 3 police cars.  But definitely blocked.  Fire trucks and ambulances, too.  Probably an accident.  Hope everybody is OK, but geez, people, I needed that cache! As I got further north into New Jersey and then into southern New York, the r...
