Friday morning I left Glimmerglass State Park angling down New York. Found my first cache "Hancock Hijinks" just across the state line in Massachusetts at a small parking area.Continued SE entering Connecticut and checked into the Roaring Acres Farm, but didn't set up. I proceeded into town (Windsor CT) to Nifty Laundromat and did a load of cloths. Found my first CT cache while waiting for the dryer. Shopped at the nearby grocer and returned to the farm.
My night at the farm was very peaceful. This is the only place so far that I lit a fire using the portable table top fire ring. I was able to visit the Alpacas and when the sun went down they all gathered near the fence. Im the morning I bought a dozen eggs.I really did have a plan for Rhode Island, just get in, find a cache and get out. I do not want to get too close to crowed cities. Hawkins Pond just over the state line on highway 44 where I had a nice walk around the pond and found a nice ammo can cache to earn the RI souvenir.
A few minutes later I was back in Connecticut heading north towards Vermont where the plan was to stay at the Guilford Northbound Welcome Center Rest Area. I made good time and was in the RV parking area by 1300 and found the biggest Trackable Hotel right there in the rest stop. There was also another regular cache and a adventure lab with a bonus cache. Geocaching complete, I hunkered down for an evening in a parking lot. In the morning I waited until after 7am to leave, into New Hampshire and onto Maine. Photos 4 in 2 days




It looks very NW there . Did you find out what they did with the alpacas? Wool? Pets? Meat?
ReplyDeleteWool. export mostly, but they do make stuff and sale locally.
ReplyDeleteYes, the place I stayed in NB reminds me of Whidbey Is.
