Morton Fox's journal

On Saturday, I did the Route 14 powertrail, 51 geocache starting from Harrington and going towards the DE/MD border. It was pretty easy and I was done in less than two hours. After that, I geocached along western Delaware before heading to Dover. The last two geocaches of the day in the Dover area were by the beach at the Ted Harvey Conservation Area. "Beachfront Property" was closer to the boat launch parking area, while "Ospery Landing" was a 1.3-mile walk along the beach to an ospery platform. So it was a truly diverse set of geocaches since that one cache was a longer, more scenic walk than the 51 caches with which I began the day!

On Sunday, I headed to South Jersey to do the duck series of geocaches. These were spread out from Swedesboro to Brooklawn, in a variety of environments from urban to wooded area. "Duck Series: #10 Northern Pintail" was at an interesting spot, an enormous hollow tree that one can crawl into and stand up inside. "Duck Series: #3 Common Merganser" was the most challenging cache of the day but only because it's in an area that one can walk to only at low tide. (It's also rather muddy and full of debris washed ashore but that comes with the territory.) I used Tide Chart FREE on my phone to figure out the best time to go for this cache and that worked rather well.
