Up from CT for a week of vacation. 7th of 13. Agree whole heartly - AWESOME. Amazing how this feature works. Spent time exploring more of the area and came away with a couple of souveniers. Well worth seeing in person.

Barb said look at the turtle head. I (Mike) said that is a locationless cache. Sorry it took so long to log as we had to get the pics developed. Have to remember to take that new fangled digital camera when we are out.
Thanx-

Highland Light - Truro MA - USA Commonly called Cape Cod Light, was first lit in 1797. It was calculated that the light would stand for 45 years, and in his book, Cape Cod, Thoreau fretted that the light would soon fall, due to the relentless erosion of the approaching sea. However, the same light stands today, still threatened by erosion.
Originally fitted with 15 reflector lamps, a first order fresnel lens was installed in 1857. The lens stood 12 feet high, had a diameter of 9 feet, weighed 2000 pounds, and floated on a bed of mercury. One oil lamp burning inside this huge crystal could reach the horizon, 25 miles away.
In 1797 Highland Light stood 510 feet from the edge of the Truro Bluffs. One hundred years later, that distance had shrunk to about 300 feet, and today, Cape Cod Light is less than 125 feet from destruction. Over 40 feet were lost to one winter storm in 1990. The severity of erosion forced a move to the lighthouse which was successful during the summer of 1996.
The keeper's house and generator shed are still there as well. There are tours everyday.

I was a member of this club years ago when I attempted to fly Radio Controlled Helicopters. I did have marginal success, but a baby and several crashes convinced me to turn to other hobbies.
I do go watch them from time to time, but haven't been there for 2-3 years. Finding this cache was a good excuse to spend a few hours talking and watching some planes fly.
We got there and met up with a guy called Stan. At first he was a bit shy, but after a little while seemed proud that we were talking with him and wanted pictures of him and his plane. He had two there today. One a Magic Fun Fly and the one was a Ultra Stick. He did a great job flying - a seasoned pilot of of 12-15 years. The club has been in existence for at least 20 years (that is how far back I go). They recently bought the 40 acres of land they had been using for flying. We have some great pictures. In fact one is being emailed for their next Newsletter. You can read the captions to see the one I mean.
We had a great time!
Thanks for the excuse to revisit a part of my past.
