On the Road Again (MWGB Day 4)

Yesterday found me on the road again, headed for home after a great time at the geobash. I was on the road by 10 a.m. after sleeping a little later than the previous few days; eating breakfast; and loading up the car. I had planned out a route which included a lot of "on the way" Ohio caches and some in Michigan as well. Most of today's caches ended up being in cemeteries - and I found other cachers at most of them (in Ohio anyway) as well. I ended up leaving Ohio about 2:45 p.m. after making a pit stop in Pioneer, just before the state line. Discovered that they don't have Sunday restaurant sales there - not even Noble Roman's pizza at the gas station!

I chose to go up Michigan 99 to Adrian - found a few nice caches along the way. Then I-94 to I-69 to Charlotte, then M-50 to M-66, M-66 to I-96 and I-96 to the Lowell exit and home.

I found 32 caches; and a grand total of 125 for the four day geobash. It was a lot of fun but a lot of work figuring out coords and routing as well as the online logging. I really need to try and figure out how to get the cache info onto my nuvi. I had to look up every cache on GSAK on my netbook, works for a car trip but I don't think I can carry the netbook with me on a hike in the woods.

Got home, unloaded the car, and returned my mom's call. Their plans have changed and they will be with us tomorrow night (Tuesday.) Of course, I hadn't done anything yet to get the house ready, figuring I had all week. So tonight I am headed home from work and get to spend my time doing just that. I don't work until 12:30 tomorrow so have a little time then if I need it.

It will be good to have a longer visit!
