13 June 2009 Completing the Challenge and Heading Home


New Jersey County Challenge


Griggstown Native Grassland Preserve... Lots of Rain Was Coming


Sweet Arrow Lake Park








We were able to find the challenge cache and dodge some showers while finding a few caches on our journey home. Griggstown was full of birds, but we left most of the caches in the area and the bird watching so we could get back to the car ahead of the worst rain of the week. When we were near Ali's home town, the rain was so intense the streets were flooding. I was concerned that we could get washed out on a few we drove through. By the time we were back in PA we got some dry weather and a chance to stop at Sweet Arrow Lake Park in Schuylkill County. It was the chance to add another find to a total of one for the county. We had to dodge a wedding in the park, but it was an outstanding visit. The park has a peaceful, scenic lake; nice trails; and a stream with an unexpected waterfall.
