Java Time

Sunny, 50-55°F. Another busy morning. Who knew? I only got out when it was some time in the afternoon, so I figured I would go for the new nearby geocache. Java Time was it. This cache is in the woods off of an unbuilt section of a housing development in Bear. I'm not sure if there'll still be access to that area once the houses are built but it's all clear right now. The original coordinates were somewhat off so it took a while to find this cache but I eventually did. I also tried to find YUCK !!!! but it turns out that that cache had gone missing, so I got a little muddy for nothing.

On the way home, I went to the farmers market to get some vegetables. See, I had a dream last night that I was eating a lot of vegetables, so I got that particular kind of veggies in case that dream meant something. Or it may not mean anything, in which case that would still take care of dinner.

I also stopped by the new Big Lots since today was their grand opening. This Big Lots is in the Penn Mart Shopping Center off US-13 and Route 141. It takes the place of National Wholesale Liquidators, which went out of business last year maybe? From what I saw, they have the same merchandise and pricing as their Dover location. Which is great because 2 miles from home is a lot more convenient than 40+ miles from home.

South Jersey Fictional Pirate Tour VI - Glassboro WMA

Sunny, 60-65°F. I found my tube of silver rounds in the closet. Given the price of silver these days, I figured I ought to keep that in the safe deposit box instead. So a quick stop at the bank was the first thing on the agenda this morning.

I went to Glassboro WMA today. This is the best time of the year to visit that forest. It's fall so the brush has subsided enough to make it not too painful to bushwhack to all those geocaches. More importantly, the gates are open during the fall (for hunting access) so I could drive in on the dirt road and park a lot closer to each geocache. My main goal was to find "413: Requested Entity Too Large" and I did that as the first cache of the day. True to its name, it's a big geocache. It's a 20-gallon tub, big enough to hold a couple of bowling balls and a bucket. Of course, such a large cache could not be hidden, but the dense thicket surrounding the cache would make accidental discovery unlikely. After that, I figured I might as well drive around the WMA and find the other caches there. There was another HTTP error cache, "505: Version Not Supported". The last cache was a 2-mile hike and I figured that was enough exercise for the day.

It was a very early dinner at Long John Silver's/Taco Bell in Mantua since I actually left the WMA a bit before dusk. I had Fish & More with Taco Bell sauces. I brought my netbook into the restaurant. I've probably been to this LJS enough times to be a regular but people were still asking me if there was wireless internet there. I guess the Comcast wifi hotspot in the Mantua shopping area is not common knowledge.
