Morton Fox's journal

Rainy day. 46°F. I went to Garrison Pond, a.k.a. Ramsey Duck Pond, in Ramsey to find the Knot's Landing geocache. I was a little concerned about going for a 3-star terrain geocache in the rain, but when I saw where the cache was, I realized that I didn't have to worry. It was actually a lot easier to get to than the terrain rating suggested. Almost a park and grab. As for the duck pond itself, the view was very foggy.

I hadn't been reading the geocaching forums, so I didn't realize until yesterday night that Off Your Rocker geocaches are no longer allowed. This is a series of geocaches placed at Cracker Barrel restaurants/stores. They're apparently not removing existing caches yet because I found one in December at the Elkton, MD, Cracker Barrel off I-95. I don't think there needs to be much of a forum debate on this. Cracker Barrel stores are private property, so if corporate wishes to rescind cache placement permission, they can do so at any time. Out of the over 7,200 caches I've visited, only a dozen or so are from the Off Your Rocker series, so it doesn't matter a whole lot to me either. We'll just move on to other locations.
