The Crunching of the Leaves and the Collection of the Trash

 Ah, you know the sound. It's Fall and the leaves are underfoot. You don't mind walking several miles down a State Park road doing a little CITO'ing on s day like this!


Still recovering from the loss of PopLob, TaGeez and I needed to get outside. Lo! The Annual Belle Isle CITO! We had forgotten about it so on that Saturday we headed out to Michigan's 102nd state park. 

The weather was gorgeous, and we were shocked to discover the covered bridge was open to the public! No more sneaking through fences and hiding yourself in the tall weeds of the defunct golf course to reach this photogenic bridge - the fence was open and the trails were widened. In we went to... er.. clean (and take lots of pictures). You can see the Detroit Yacht Club through the portholes.

It was great fun doing the CITO with friends, grabbing a few caching and then tottling off to do a new Adventure Lab in Saline in a new cache-mobile, Addie Venture.

Farewell to PopLob

                 You may have noticed...

 that the blog has been quiet of late.   

It's been a sad month since we lost PopLob.           

Scrapcat and PopLob

He was the head of  Team Free Range Lobsters

                   He was a vacation-time geocacher...

and he loved attending ice cream events.         

He was the Father of seven and grandfather of twelve.

But, most importantly, he was my travel buddy, my lifelong friend, and my Dad.

I miss you Dad,
