There’s much that could be said. I could prattle on about history, bald eagles, friends who have passed, happy times with my children, running away to to release the steam, sunsets, thoughts of a younger man, a rehabilitated sea wall, etc.

All that is the past. It requires a rearview mirror. I smashed mine some time back. Just chilling with my mellow today. Alone with the eagle today. Ripples lapping at my feet.

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone

Seabreeze, NJ is the epitome of what I love about geocaching. Several geocaches have been found here over the years. Now, it’s just a ghost town; reclaimed by Mother Nature.

What’s so funny ’bout peace love and understanding?

And this is where my soul shall taste the salt of the Earth. Where I smile. Where the lapping of the bay rocks my soul. Geocaching introduced me to this throne, geocaching was responsible for today’s return.

The 20th anniversary celebration of Mingo (at 21 years) is also my 20th year geocaching. Mingo has been on my bucket list for much of that time. It finally happened this week. After a full few days of caching, today was set for a relaxed icon day with events, the Maze, escape room, and the focal point of the trip: GC30.

We returned to Flat Tire this morning for others in our party to have fun. While there, we decided this area could use some cleaning up. We cleared the area right around the geocache and the one path in. This will improve the area for fuure geocachers.

We returned the next day with an entire crew to clean up more around the area as this area is a place that captures all the blown trash from the parking area and highway.

Always nice to help improve the gameboard.
