Packrafting 4:37:19 [3] 8.55 mi (32:26 / mi)
ahr:132 max:195

Our anniversary is this week, and we told my parents that the only thing we wanted was one day to get out and adventure together without the kids. So, they took both of them for the first time... ever... and we got to spend the whole day playing in the woods.

Plan was to packraft the Unami Creek to the Perkiomen, where we'd stashed our bikes, then ride down to Evansburg, lock up there for an orienteering course that Bruce Kuo and Ron Barron have set up, and then ride back to the car.

But really, when does adventuring ever go as planned? The Unami is beautiful, but it's also pretty much impassable, despite the last two days of rain. Think UNE's Dead River without the water. So, what we thought would be a two-hour paddle ended up as an almost-five-hour morning of portaging and boulder hopping. It was a blast, but we had to adjust our plans accordingly.

Bike - Roads 39:11 [3] 7.11 mi (10.9 mph) +448ft
ahr:158 max:193 shoes: Niner Air9 RDO

We took out near Green Lane, TA-ed to bikes, and then rode back to our car with two VERY heavy packs.
3 PM

Orienteering 1:33:32 intensity: (18:34 @1) + (7:20 @2) + (29:36 @3) + (34:28 @4) + (3:34 @5) 5.62 mi (16:39 / mi) +213ft 16:04 / mi
ahr:137 max:172 shoes: La Sportiva Bushido

Then we drove down to Evansburg to do as much of the long o-course as we could. It was 12.5km straight line, we arrived at 3:30pm, and we had a hard cutoff at 5:15pm. We ran into Sam and Lena in the parking lot. They had just finished and said it took them 2 hours, 37 minutes, so we knew we wouldn't be clearing it. Took us awhile to find the start (this time includes those 10-15 minutes), but once we did we moved well. I never thought I'd be running 7:30 miles down a trail during an o-meet! Couldn't get the iOrienteering app to work, so we just took pictures at each control. We didn't get all the mandatories, so it wasn't an official finish anyway, but we covered about 2/3 of it and had a ton of fun. In the time of COVID, this felt as epic as OMM Iceland, which we did for our tenth anniversary.

We called this our Virtual Adventure Challenge, which, while technically only a five-hour event, calls for 2 hours of biking. So, we'll head out with the kids tomorrow to finish it up.

Didn't realize how much we needed the day until it was over.

Leg 6 of the Lockdown - AKA, that time geocaching made me cry.

In 2013, broots and I almost did an expedition race in the Czech Republic. In preparation, we bought roller blades, because the race included two blading legs (totaling about 60km if I recall!). We never used them - broots' still have the tags on them - but I figured I'd use this leg to start training in case we ever end up in the CR again.

I was by no means fast, but the blading, at least, was smoother than I expected. I also hit up two geocaches, bringing my total to seven. The second was a tiny magnet on a bridge - relatively speaking, an easy find. The first nearly crushed me, but I eventually did find it - in bare feet, because rolling blading through a grassy/rocky amphitheater seemed ill-advised.

Three more to go...

Lockdown stage 2 - bushwhack, otherwise known as Geocaching Blues.

Had plans to start with the mtn bike this morning, but when broots said last night that he thought he could finish his Philly bike challenge today, I decided to push it to tomorrow so I can course test that. Instead, I headed into Wiss for the bushwhack leg. Wiss is known for its great trails. But between those trails, there's plenty of nettles, poison ivy, and deadfall if you know where to look :p

Plan was to knock out as many geocaches as I could. Searched for seven, found five. Fun morning, punctuated by several exercises in frustration, even for found caches. Broots happened to call when I was searching for one, so he pulled out his app and shared how he would puzzle it out. When that didn't work, he decided he wanted in on the fun, so he threw the kids in the car and met me a few minutes later. We searched together and finally found the cache - a 1.5-inch capsule hanging in a tree that I'd walked by and looked at about 247 times already.

Paused by watch for a bit for a planned telehealth visit with my asthma doc. He was entertained.

Nature walk with both kids, S in the backpack. On the recommendation of a friend, we went to the Schuylkill Center. It was perfect - didn't see a single person who wasn't a staff member working on the grounds. Time includes playing on an obstacle course built out of tree stumps, wooden ladders, tires, and a canoe. We all had fun climbing around on it - and then bathed in hand sanitizer after.
