Cold day. 12-21°F. It was colder (8°F) when I got up this morning so I gave it an hour for the temperature to rise a few degrees before heading out. It wasn't so bad. I picked a bunch of geocaches that were within 300 feet of parking and found all of those very quickly without freezing any extremities off.

The most interesting cache site of the day was the Ghost Bike. The whitewashed bicycle is a memorial to a bicyclist who was killed in a collision with a van 2 years ago.

Dinner was a 12" Italian sub at Quick Chek in Piscataway because that's where the last cache was. It's a penny cheaper than a Subway $5 footlong.

Interesting memorial. Is the bike in a useable condition?

No, it can't be used. When preparing the memorial, they removed some parts from the bike. Read about it here: http://www.ghostbikes.org/howto
