25 May 2024 Visiting Redbrook Metropark

We stopped at Redbrook to find a few geocaches while on the trails. The labrynth was a peaceful journey before we began geocaching.
Lupines were in bloom to add to our journey.

24 May 2024 Visiting Blue Heron Preserve

Blue Heron Preserve is an old quarry that has been preserved as a wildlife area. With plenty of water and plants to sustain the visitors, this popular park often delivers great birding.
A lone male wood duck was visible on the far reaches of the smaller pond today.

It was a prefect woodland spring day for early wildflowers.
Finding ammo cans and other geocaches in the woods is a fun, enduring activity, but being in the outdoors is the true moment of joy.
