One advantage of living on Long Island (and for me personally, advantages of living here are very hard to come by) is the presence of large bodies of water open to kayaking and canoeing. Besides the obvious Long Island Sound and the Great Sound Bay, there are several rivers that can be explored by personal watercraft. One such river, is the Peconic on Eastern Long island. It originates near Brookhaven National Lab and lazily flows east, towards Riverhead and the crotch of Long Island and eventually empties into the Flanders Bay, which is apart of the Peconic Bay. This river has been on my list ever since I moved to Long Island but for variety of reasons (most of them bullshit excuses) never got around to it.

Cestujúce travelbugy detí zo Základnej školy Bellamos
February 20th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Fun, Geocaching, Slovensky
Začiatkom roku 2008 som sa s mojou mamou, učiteľkou na súkromnej Základnej škole Bellamos v Martine dohodol na vypustení dvoch travelbugov, cestujúcich predmetov, ktoré sa pohybujú po svete účastníkmi (hráčmi) celosvetovej hry nazývanej geocaching. Keďže sa mamina trieda volala trieda “Efraima Pančušiska”, boli travelbugy boli pomenované ako “Pipi Dlhá Pančucha” a “Pipilietko”.

Bicycling on Long Island: Westhampton Barrier Island
May 11th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Bicycling, Geocaching, Long Island
After last weeks inaugural ride of 2010, we headed to the Westhampton Barrier Island which lies to the south of Long island. There are several outer barrier islands lining the south shore of Long Island – Westhampton, Long Beach, Fire Island or Jones Beach. Westhampton barrier island is terminated by the Shinnecock inlet in the east and by the Moriches inlet in the west. It is not the longest of the four, but it is the only one that has an asphalt road spanning from one end to another AND is not entirely covered by obnoxious suburbia.

Mount Monadnock (NH) Hike
August 23rd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Geocaching, Hiking, Photography
After last year’s unsuccessful attempt (rainy and slippery) with Francis, Lisa, Andi and my mom I decided to try hiking Mt. Monadnock again, except this Millicent was around to join me on this hike. We decided to get an early start as we were still planning to drive down to Long Island later that afternoon. After a 30 minute drive from MA to Monadnock State Park in NH were paid the hiking fee ($4 per person), were given a map by a ranger who also gave us some good, albeit obvious advice. Bring plenty of water and warm clothing because weather can change quickly.

Geocaching on the Mason Rail Trail, NH
April 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Geocaching, Hiking
Compared to Long Island, north-central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire offer plentiful opportunities for mountain biking, hiking as well as geocaching. One of those opportunities is the the Mason Rail Trail, which starts at the MA/NH border and continues north before turning west. We were eager to take an easy walk in a fairly secluded place, while doing some geocaching and giving Curie a chance to run around.
