The weatherman said it would be a rainy afternoon, so we set out to do some caching in the morning before the rains came. To make a long story short, we got home at 5 p.m.
The highlight of the day for me was lunch at the Alden Tavern. It's a northwoodsy kind of a tavern, very casual and friendly. We were both a little taken aback by the folks at the next table - mother, grandmother, and little girl. The adults were drinking the hard stuff, and the little girl had a couple of kiddie cocktails. Quite the heartwarming family picture. (!) The food was good and plentiful, the Lions were on the big TV (and they actually won), and it was warm and comfortable. I loved it.
The lowlight of the day was waiting in the car in the rain for one hour and 40 minutes while Dick was thrashing around in the Skegemog Swamp trying to find a cache. He was eventually successful. I think he found 4 caches all told today. The other longest wait was only 45 minutes. (!) At least at that stop I had the pleasure of strolling around the cemetery (!) I think it would have been a good day for me to have stayed at home.
