The weather is changing and the fall is around the corner now. I look forward to the fall and what experiences are upcoming for the cooler weather. Our journey began in March, just as the warmer temps crept in so I think that caching in the fall will be welcomed, especially since the insects have diminished...thank god. On our last weekend with warm temperature, the Cache Kids headed out to Detroit's river-walk to take in the beautiful scenery, find some geocaches overlooking the Detroit River and then head across the border to help a particular trackable with it's goal to reach Canada. In recent years the river-walk in Detroit has transformed into a nice peaceful destination where many can take in the sights, sit and relax, ride their bikes, and even frolic though the new fountains. There's plenty of opportunity to take in whichever you desire.

Within yards of Detroit's Renaissance Center there was recent nano-geocache that wasn't too much trouble to find. We signed the log and proceeded with watching the kids jump in the fountain waters and people watch. Here is a link if you want to attempt to locate this nice picturesque cache.

In Canada, we had limited time to make out way through the parks that dot the riverside. Parking was a challenge and the kids seemed to have other entertainment on their minds. How can I blame them, it was their first time in Canada (that they could remember) and it has plenty of offerings for children. People were flying their kites, playing Frisbee's, riding bikes, walking their dogs, having picnics and joggers were out in full force too. Running is a hobby of my older daughter now, which is why the mention of the joggers. After a couple of hours and a great afternoon we were able to locate a few caches, log out trackables and head back to the states for dinner at home.
