We've visited Tioga County before but not since we have been geocaching. Construction in Ithaca was horrible on my trip to Cortland. I didn't feel like dealing with it on the way home. Instead I headed south taking a different path to I86.
A little water always makes a visit better.
I missed the find near the first water while the second stop had no caches with just a pleasant view. Like so many counties, Tioga has a geotour. I don't have the time to stay in a county and hunt all the geotrail hides, but I did enjoy making a stop at this nice Newark Valley depot.
The cemetery overlooking Otswego was filled with old markers and offered a great view. It also included a rare bonus these days of a benchmark with a view. It was hard to miss this one.
My last stop was for a surreal multi at the courthouse. I was lucky to grab a great parking spot and soon realized I was one of the first arrivals for a strange outdoor music event geared to a different political view than mine. I stuck with it and found the information for the final of the multi and picked up a second benchmark on the way. My search ended when I realized the final was right in the middle of the political gathering. Getting in that crowd would not have ended well.
