By the afternoon, the rain had let up a bit. Since I had a travel bug, I figured one good thing to do would be to bring it to the new travel bug hotel in Westchester to trade it. So I did that. The rain slowed to a drizzle and stopped when I arrived at the nature preserve. Great. I arrived at the cache site, found it, logged it, and traded travel bugs. On my walk back, the torrential rains started again and I had to rush the rest of the way to the parking area.
The other alarming thing that happened was, while I was at the cache site, I saw a tree fall down only about 50 feet away. There was a strong wind at the time, so that might have brought the tree down. I thought it was neat, until I realized that a tree could've fallen on me.
Anyway, since I was already wet, I finished a few more geocaches over in Connecticut. Then I had fish and chips at Royal Guard, a fish fry place in Stamford claiming to have British style fish and chips. Not bad, but I doubt it was even close to being British.
