Playwicki Farm
Today our geocacheing adventures brought us to Playwicki Farm in Lower Southampton. I did not know about this public park before. Here is the sign for Playwicki Farm, to the right is a very quaint looking stone farm house. Not sure what its purpose is, it was locked up. There were signs near it about some kind of labyrinth project. NO IDEA. No literature of any kind was to be found (brochures etc.). Behind the house there were stone ruins. Its very pretty here. behind the kids is a wide paved tar path-and a nice playground (this was tough getting Skyler to walk by), which led us to begin our adventure.
after leaving the paved path, we walked on a wide grassy path which must have been a horse back riding trail (?), and then eventually came upon this bridge going over a brook or creek:
Pretty view from the bridge:
after walking by a pond, then going up-up-up-very scenic- and going off the trail-wandering around in a zig zaggy but upward and eastward pattern - we eventually pinpointed the cache area. Shayna found it! It was under this tree stump. here she is in the spot she found it:
Skyler checking out a toy that was in the cache:
making the trades-we took a lame travel bug (no item attached) and etch a sketch pen and left a puzzle and alien toy:
here is some of what it looked like walking back. it was so pretty, pictures do not do it justice. it was so hilly that it had a wonderful view going down. we saw more deer right in the woods.
after leaving the woods, we got back onto the grassy wide trail again. this time we wound up going a different way. we found a few of these strange unmarked signs:
when we returned we were in the back of the ruins, which we had started out in front of before. we had made a full circle. the parking lot is right in front of this area above.
we took the kids to the playground. this was a really nice one with a wide assortment of climbing apparati, including climbing wall and cimbing net of some kind, and had this neat music playing area. It was Skyler's first time on the see saw:
Overall we walked 2 miles (shayna wore a pedometer) and Skyler walked the entire time!

we topped off our au natural day by having a salad for dinner- using hydroponic lettuce - and then watching the Discovery series part one of "Planet Earth."
