Memorial Day Moments During a Pandemic


Memorial Day is normally the kickoff for summer vacations, but, for TaGeez and I (and ShelleyJean), it's normally the start of the Summer Geo-Road trips. Not this year.

With Michigan's COVID-19 stay-at-home order, there was no spur of the moment trips to the Thumb or hunting a geotrail in an Ohio county. So, we decided to keep our adventures closer to home.

First stop, Belle Isle for Commander Overlord's new Adventure Lab. Sometimes I skim through these write-ups, but the CO included just enough history to keep me focused. Unfortunately, we had to stop at 3 sites as the roads for the Eastern half of the aisle were closed due to water over the roads.

Next stops were garden centers North of Shelby Township. That area is filled with historic roadside cemeteries and delightful puzzles by our Geo-buddies. It was a great way to get out in 89° sunny weather, hopping from puzzle final to puzzle final, while sipping cold drinks in the cooled car.

It may not sound like much, but, after 2 months of confinement, you learn to appreciate the little things.

Happy caching & keep safe!
