- Found it
Headed south of the border again this weekend (well, actually a lot more east and just a bit south) but this time it was adults only, no kids (first time in 8 years that we've been able to say that). We traveled to the Finger Lakes area to enjoy a romantic anniversary weekend - by romantic, I mean stopping to find caches, garage sales, thrift shops, driving secondary highways, stuff like that.
We stopped into this park on our way home, and hit the Blue Death Row Trail (what a name!) to visit this virtual. there's just something about graveyards off in the woods. So few gravestones given what we read in the cache description. Wow, this brings the Oliver Twist story to life. After leaving the park, we stopped briefly outside the old asylum building. I'm all for creating ways to reuse a historical building, but not so sure I like the way it's being used now. Not that anyone asked my opinion.
In the end, we found 6 OCNA caches (and dnf'd two), also visited the oldest geocache in the state and picked up two other gc.com caches plus a few qualifiers for some TerraCaching locationless caches. A good weekend all around. Thanks Sabrefan7 for supplying 5 of the 6 OCNA caches that we found this weekend.
