3 July 2009 Eagles












This was the first we had been to PA in over a month. It was the longest we had been away in in over ten years. We celebrated in the usual way with some caching. We were working our way through an older multi and ended up at Union City Reservoir. It is an attractive reservoir. We had a good walk with the dogs. Neither of us had ever noticed the vortex created at a reservoir near the feed for the outlet. It was a sight to see.

We moved from there to a nearby SGL and a new cache for the favorites list. The grey skies that had been with us all day opened up and filled the forest near the cache with sunlight. The nearby stream was quite peaceful. The cache was worth the time to see this great area for the final.

Our last planned stop was to look for eagles at a known nesting area. Another cacher had provided coordinates viewing the nest and a general direction. With the summer growth the nest was well camoflaged. We had given up and were heading back to the vehicle when Ali spotted the first young eagle in a tree overlooking the water. A few minutes later Ali spotted the second one much closer to us.

It was quite a return to Pennsylvania.
