Since we still had the afternoon ahead of us after visiting the missile silo, of course we went...geocaching! DH had plotted out a route that would loop around a nice scenic drive and head us back in the direction of home, whilst passing some geocaches.
The geocaching was fun for sure, but the beauty of the area is just astonishing and breathtaking. My eyes were just drinking it in. We don't often go that far northward, so it was a treat to be where it is even more rugged and wild. Anyway, here are some pictures we took along the way...
The Ausable River
The picture of this vista enables us to claim a find on a virtual geocache!
The travel stop where we got the map with "SEND HELP" on the back
Covered bridge in Jay
More of the rushing Ausable river
I asked DH to pull over to take this pic (which doesn't do it justice at all) of this mountain that was just steep, sheer rock.
Toward the very end of the afternoon we stopped in at our little property, but that is a whole 'nother story.
The end.
Not only do I heart NY, I *miss* NY! I am such a mountain girl and stuck out in the plains. I could drool over the mountain scape all day. :)
ReplyDeleteYou talk about geocaching all the time. I am a somewhat new reader, so you may have already explained this, but, what is geocaching?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've had a great adventure. I hope you collected more cones and things from your property so you can make a fantastic memory display
ReplyDeleteSo you got one of those SEND HELP signs with the map on the back. I'm kind of late, I know.
ReplyDeleteEmpty Envelope: I'm glad you're enjoying NY vicariously through me. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnne: My other blog is in my sidebar - it's called So You Wanna Go Geocaching (http://soyouwannagogeocaching.blogspot.com) and if you look in the brown bar across the top, click on "What is Geocaching" and that will give you the lowdown on what it's all about. It's fun and addicting, so don't say I didn't warn ya! :-)
Jude: Wait 'till you see all DD collected this time!!
John: Should I get some more of those SEND HELP signs next time we're up that way? Heh...
Very pretty! Do you know I have never seen a covered bridge except in pictures? I hope to someday though.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful river and rocks!
