15 May 2021 Heading South to Virginia

 We have stayed in Uniontown multiple times, but never spent much time in the town.  Today we decided to use a local historical puzzle based on the life of General George Marshall.  Driving in Uniontown wasn't a pleasant experience. but it is an interesting town for walking and visiting.


When we started geocaching, there were so many places we visited that were not known to us.  We've cached for so long that those new places are infrequent.  Today, Ali chose a place called Wharton Township Recreational Park.  The park offered good looking ball diamonds, plenty of picnic opportunities and a trail filled with wildflowers.  It was a perfect new place to explore and enjoy.







Our next visit was a longer walk at a new for us gamelands.  SGL265 offered wildflowers, rock structures, and wildlife.  We also enjoyed saying hello to another cacher on the trail in as we returned.







A friend always spots interesting stones amongst the road material in gamelands.  The state often has a small area in the gameland where material is removed and crushed for the roadways.  Today I spotted this one on the way.


It is time for fiddleheads as the ferns start to unwind.


Our day wasn't over as we made a couple of tourist visits to Casselman's Bridge and a historical toll house on the Old Cumberland Road.



It was a busy, happy day to be out exploring.
