Watkins Glen Caching 5/20/2009

This morning Mom and I drove to Watkins Glen to do a little caching and to look around the village as it has been ages since we have been there. The first stop was Nash Cemetery in Hornby, NY and to get to it was really an adventure. It took us down a dead end road and over several dirt roads until we finally got there. We really didn't think there were any roads like we traveled on left in NY. It was quite a old cemetery with grave makers dating back into the 1700's. Then it was on to another old cemetery named Savory in another small town. This cemetery was also quite old with graves dating back into the mid 1800's. Then we did 2 NRV caches on the way into Watkins Glen. Our first cache in the Glen was in the Greenwood Cemetery and was a puzzle cache. Supposedly the grave marker they used for this cache was haunted as they had said that on 3 different trips they tried to take pictures of the marker and when they got home it wasn't on their camera. We took 2 pictures and they came out fine. Once we found the cache, which by the way I had to hang out over a steep hill and brace myself on a tree in order to get the cache container, we did 3 more NRV caches. Then it was on to another small old cemetery that had no name for another quick cache. This cemetery was completely forgotten as it was again over grown and not taken care of. Then another NRV cache and then off to our last cache of the day at the Lakewood Vineyards. We had a "Grape" Cahe Geocoin that we took from a friend we met in KY that we said we would drop in a cache in a winery in NY so that is why we stopped at this spot to do this cache. Then it was back to the coach for our usual afternoon and evening routine. Well that's about it until next time so we will close and we love and miss you all. Mom & Dad
