Sunny then cloudy, 60°F. Much cooler weather today than it was yesterday. Had to drop off the yard waste and the yard waste collection site in Bear but after that, we went for a bunch of geocaches near the C&D Canal, one in Iron Hill Park, and two in Wilmington.
The last two cache sites were somewhat educational. "Aliens! 2" is in a park that is overrun by invasive alien plants. I don't know all the invasive species but I recognized the English ivy, privet, and garlic mustard. Privet is actually a common hedge plant back in the old country.
"A Cache for Whereabouts" is in Brandywine Springs Park, which
used to be an amusement park in the early 20th century. Not much remains of the old amusement park structures but a historical preservation society has put up information boards explaining what used to be there.

Still tired this morning so I didn't want to go out anywhere. However, after tending to some paperwork, I had a list of errands to run and the beginnings of a plan for the day. I got almost everything done this afternoon. On the way to the bank, I made a slight detour to Brandywine Springs Park to seek For Your Amusement. (For the purpose of geocaching, a few miles out of the way is a slight detour and the bank branch I used is not the one closest to home. :) ) It was raining at the time but the cache wasn't far from the parking area and I knew that it was at the same level as parking, not down the steep hill, so it wouldn't be difficult even if the ground was wet.
