Cape May

As winter winds down, the search for places I hadn't geocached continued. I actually got this idea last weekend because I went as far as Millville and Vineland before it started to rain. If I kept going on Route 49, I'd be in Cape May, which I hadn't visited in at least 6 years! That, plus the fact that Cape May is not as far away as Salisbury, made it a winning choice for this weekend.

On Saturday, after finishing one last group of geocaches in Millville, I continued onwards to the northern part of Cape May. (Cape May Court House) I'd planned on hitting two caches in Cape May County Park and Zoo but stayed a while to photograph some animals. What's great about the Cape May area is there is a series of geocaches, the CMCST series, that take you on a tour of interesting sites there. So I saw more on this trip than on previous trips to Cape May.

I returned to Cape May on Sunday to continue the CMCST series. This time, I hiked in some beach areas. I also collected some quartz stones at Sunset Beach. Those were specimens for an earthcache but I'm saving them. Even if it was a bit cold and windy towards the evening, the beach areas were nice and quiet. I figure the off-season months are a good time to grab some beach geocaches before the summer crowds come in.
