August 15, hiding a geocache in Frontenac park: swamp, wobbling, rickety bridge, scenery.
August 19, the limestone arrives.
August 22, relocating our geocache in Frontenac Park: heading out, broken bridge, repairing the bridge, waterfall, insect, junction.
August 23. Our local park used to be a cemetery until 50 years ago or so. About 10 years ago it was discovered that the boundaries on the old maps are not so accurate, and there are still some graves under there. The city wants to dig up the road to replace some sewer pipes and decided to commission an archeological study first. [old stones, paint markings, dig site]
August 25, at the house: limestone, drywall, upstairs fireplace, insulation, downstairs fireplace.
August 26: engraving at the house.
August 27: masonry.
August 28, Wellesley Island, New York: Thousand Islands Bridge, border crossing, hamming it up, cooling off, butterfly house, decrypting the clue, rock face. For some reason, somebody hid a letterbox behind the utility box across the road from the US customs booths. We went to get it and the border guards didn’t think we belonged back there, so we had to wait for an hour while they read the letterboxing website, trying to decide if we were terrorists or not. The state trooper was very friendly and everything turned out fine in the end. Except they confiscated the rubber stamp!
