Geocoin Drop

 

Apologies that this week’s post has arrived a day late. I spent the past few days helping my mother do yard work and only now have I had a moment to catch my breath.
A few weeks ago I went hiking with a mission. I’d found a geocoin while geocaching (if you don’t know what geocaching is, I’d suggest you read up and join the fun, it’s awesome! Go here Geocaching.com) quite some time ago and while looking up the coin’s tracking number on the geocaching site, I found out that it originated in Texas and the owner of the coin wanted it to make its way to Canada.
I was able to make that possible.
I traveled to Campobello, GPS in hand (though I ended up not even needing it to find the cache. I remembered where it was!), and hiked out to my favorite cache location on the island. The Sunsweep sculpture.
I proudly deposited the coin in the cache (after taking a few pictures of course) and enjoyed the view before heading home.

I’m glad I was able to contribute and get a geocoin to its destination.

 

 

 

Until next time…

The Throne

No, I’m not going to be talking about the insanely popular book and television series “Game of Thrones”.  I’m going to talk about a rock formation that has been dubbed “The Throne.”

I’ve been hiking in Downeast Maine since I moved here a decade ago.  In all that time, I had never heard of, or seen, “The Throne” until recently.

I was searching for new geocaches in my area and came across one that was labeled “The Throne” and decided to check it out.  So, I downloaded the coordinates to my GPS and headed out to Catherine Mountain in Franklin, Maine.

After a nice hike up the side of Catherine Mountain, and several awesome views of Tunk Lake, I got to the peak and came upon the Throne in all its rock glory.

The Throne

Amazing what you can find when you get out there and look.  I actually think they could use something like this in “Game of Thrones.”

Until next time…
