This morning Dale and I had a quick little Tuesday Travels outing between Spring rain showers that gave us a little distance vision, took us to two parks, and nabbed us three geocache smilies. We were in the Crescent neighborhood, north of the Beltline and just off Coburg Road.
First, we made a return visit to Striker Field. We visited the parking lot last September during a cold rainstorm. On this trip we got out of the car and found a nano-size geocache (teeny tiny ... about the size of a pencil eraser). The park was busy with kids and pickleball players and a group of old men playing some kind of old men game.
Then we hopped over to Crescent Park to an excellent small-size cache camouflaged in a tree. There was plenty of room for me to leave extra swag. It was a good thing Dale was with me, because I'm not sure I could have reached it on my own. This park is so pretty at this time of year, with a full line of flowering pink (cherry?) trees.
Our final cache was a little scary as it was on a small bridge crossing the I-5 freeway. Eek!
We've now completed our geocaching goal of the year, and are one-third of the way to our park-visiting goal.
Mostly importantly, we got to spend a little time in the fresh air with each other, doing what we enjoy in our lovely home town. What a pleasant way to spend an hour or two!
