Morton Fox's journal

Sunny, 60-65°F. I figured it was a day in which I wouldn't be going very far because I had errands to run. After the bank errand (to deposit a surprise class-action settlement check), I headed over to the Glasgow area for lemonade for 2. Although right next to the road, this geocache was in the middle of a sticker bush. Fortunately, I was able to poke it out of there with a stick.

After that, I went to Iron Hill Park to do a long hike. I had the solution to This Cache is for the Birds, a puzzle cache, so I went for that one. I also did A Pretty Ammo Box, a multi-stage cache, since it was in the same part of the park. In retrospect, I should've done at least the first part of the multicache before getting the puzzle cache because I noticed that I crossed my track between stages of the multi. Therefore, I could've shortened the hike a bit. Nevertheless, the entire hike didn't take an excessive amount of time and with little or no brush in the woods there, all the off-trail portions of the hike were fairly easy.

After that, I had a late lunch at Arby's in New Castle in order to use a soon-to-expire mailing list coupon. I had two Jr. Roast Beef sandwiches. The odd thing was they gave me a kid's meal toy. No idea why.

Sunny and 50°F. Returned to Glasgow Park today for 2 puzzle caches. I'd have done these yesterday had I remembered to work out the answers beforehand. But it's not a problem. Had to drop off some yard waste at the Mid-County Yard Waste collection site anyway, so Glasgow Park was just a bit of a detour.

Also returned to Iron Hill Park to do more geocaches. This time, it was a 1.6-mile round trip on the yellow trail for 4 geocaches. A bit of snow on the ground and some rolling terrain, but not too difficult a hike.
