Staycation, part 2

Thursday arrived far too fast. We started painting - natural straw over steel blue, and then made a quick trip to Brockport to try and be a FTF on a cache at the Seymour Library. No luck, and as it turned out, once again the posted coordinates were way off. While we were there, we checked in the Sherwood Williams Paint store for a border and ended up checking out a book to look further. No luck either there or online, though. For dinner, we ended up going to the Black North Inn, up at Point Breeze (good food!), and then over to Golden Hill State Park where we picked up one more cache - and starting looking for 2 more until we realized that it was too far through the woods to make it back in before dusk, and turned around halfway.


Friday we decided to check locally for a border, and as we were walking out of Cases, we came across 4 packages in the discount bin ($.99 each). They couldn't have been more perfect, if we had sought them out! So we went back to Brockport to return the book, and while we were there, we worked on the Oldies by Goodies challenge, which involved finding the 10 oldest caches in our area. 3 were in Northhampton Park, so we spent a few hours hiking there. Found 2/3, along with several others in the park, but by the time we finished (the day was in the 80s), I had gotten dehydrated and was in a lot of pain (hip), so when we got out of the woods, I just crashed at a picnic table and John was a sweetie and walked the last .25 mile and brought back the car and picked me up. At that point, I didn't care if I ever went geocaching again!

By Saturday, we had finished up the painting (ceiling and walls), and Gail came over to help me hang border. Here is the end result, which I am very happy with:

We rested, picked up the last items we needed in Lockport, along with 2 quick caches and that was our day.

Sunday - last day of staycation - we went to the RocGeo picnic in Durand Eastman Park. John had smoked a pork shoulder the day before, so we brought pulled pork and slider buns. Won a raffle prize of Tilley Hat puzzle solutions, and did a bunch of caches on the way home.

All in all it wasn't a bad staycation at all. Accomplished a major project at home, and did a lot of geocaching!
