Visiting All 117 PA State Parks

Map of All Of The State Parks In PA

When the kids were young, before we moved to the farm, we started camping because it was really the only vacation we could afford.  After a few years we decided to make it our goal to visit every state park in Pa before the kids were grown.

And then we bought the farm.  It's much harder to pick up and go camping when you have a farm!  And then there were the kids sports and activities as they got older.... we didn't reach our goal.  So we'll change the goal. :-) I still want to see all of the state parks in Pa, even if we can't take the kids (now all adults) along with us.

You can go to this link - https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=18u5DfIbV4JFrU7_9JafJL2LSukk&hl=en_US&ll=40.96806350514185%2C-77.7070445&z=8 and it will take you to the map shown above.  Click on the three dots to the right of the title (in the red part) and choose Copy This Map.  Now you can rename it and edit it for your own use.



I then went through the list and changed the icons on every park we have not visited, to green circles.  I have scrapbooks of just our state park trips, my goal is to digitize them so I can make shutterfly copies for each of the kids, and I'll add posts about each park as I do so.

How to Solve The Geocaching August Souvenir Puzzle #1

In August 2016, Geocaching is doing a series of souvenirs based on "missions" premium members receive as puzzles the week before the mission.  Non premium members just receive the answer the weekend of the mission.   The first puzzle was VERY simple, so simple that many were overthinking it. The bottom of the first plate gives you the hint to solve this - "A six is G" A= 6 letters after A = ABCDEF G C= 2 letters after C = CD E N= 1 letter after N = N O Continuing with the next 3 plates until you have the code to type into the page linked in the email, where the mission was revealed.  The answer had to be entered completely in lower case, I think that may have been more confusing than the actual puzzle. :-) On the 3rd plate, for W6 - you go back to the start of the alphabet.  So it was WXYZAB C If you completed the mission, finding a cache with more than 10 favorite points that week-end, you received this souvenir: For us, this meant traveling a bit, since we've ...

Visiting Geocaching HQ, & The Fremont Geocaches

https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/hq We were able to visit Geocaching Headquarters, and complete the HQ geotour, while in Washington this year. Each of these geocaches is well thought out, and well done.  This is all urban caching, but geocaching is so common and familiar in this area that muggles are not really a problem.  The first cache we did was so obvious, it was near impossible to show any true stealth.  But like the WVTim caches in West Virginia, it just wasn't really necessary to hide what we were doing. The passport for the caches can be found here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/gs-geo-images/b1b051c4-3050-43ef-adb6-61c27f2fadd6.png We did not have the passport with us, and we didn't have access to a printer.  Neither did another group we ran into several times that day.  That was no problem, we both used paper we had with us and groundspeak had no trouble accepting that from us. The caches are all pretty close together.  But the hills are prett...

Fonts With Tails (Glyphs) Cheat Sheet

Glyphs are extra characters in fonts.  For fonts like Samantha (a paid font - there is no free version) you have to use a character map to access the extra swirls. There are a few fonts, such as I Love Glitter, where you can quickly add swirls (nothing as ornate as Samantha, but still pretty!) just by adding a few characters such as * \ [ ] or ().  I call them "easy glyphs". Download all four of these cheat sheets as a pdf file, here.  If that link does not work (too much traffic) Try This One. Links to download each font are found under the photos.
