With so many of these hunts, it’s difficult to remember to log them all. Seriously. As I am going through the photographs from today I realized this shot would be perfect for this hunt. So I look up the hunt to gather what I need and much to my surprise, this one is archived already. I suppose the 4.1 MCE scared off the owner. I’ve been there before. I hardly care any longer. I have one at 2.0 and it’s been logged. Go figure . . .
Anyhow, the GPS is indeed the star of the show. This was taken on the beach in Cape May Point as I futzed around with some shots I was going to use as a shutterspot. I decided against that.

I love lobster traps. Way back when I was in prep school I used to have many of these around. One I sanded down, placed some plate glass in, and had a nice little coffee table.
At the shore many folks use these as lawn decorations. This one was found on Bayshore in West Cape May, NJ, the lima bean capital of the world.

In my caching database I have a table to keep track of my DNFs. I ascribe a reason for each DNF. It’s not 100% accurate, but it’s my attempt of trying to determine why I came up empty. One of the flags I use is I was blind. That is how I now have this one flagged.
How I missed this cache, I do not know. Fritz and I were at this exact spot. I looked here. I must have been blind for it was exactly where it should have been. Oh well . . .
Just as I reached for the cache, the foghorn of the New Jersey sounded. I was treated to the ferry leaving dock and heading out the channel as I logged in. I saw SoccerFanatics’ log from today. I pulled out the cell to see if I could catch up with him if her was still in town. No answer. 
After this I bopped around my hometown for a while . . .

About a week before you listed this hunt we were on the Wildwood Boardwalk. I had taken some photographs of one of the tramcars. I even have some shots with the GPS. I considered listing this myself. Then came this cache. Of course, I had no photograph with me in view. So . . .
I drove down today. After the Irish festival in Anglesea/North Wildwood, I moved south. The 15th Annual Boardwalk Classic Car Show was on. Once I saw that, I knew I was out of luck. The cars were lined up in the middle of the boardwalk. There were so many people, both sides were jammed. There was no way the tramcar was running today.
What to do? I decided to walk the boards and look at the cars. Fritz and I had attended the car show in Millville this summer. That had far better selection of cars than this show did, as far as I am concerned. I seem to never find a 1970-73 Camero. Plenty of 67-69, but no 1970s. I did see a 1913 Model T Speedster. The owner was very accomodating. This was one gorgeous vehicle. There were also a couple Shelbys that were far better than the Shelby I logged last month. The ‘47 Woody was decked out appropriately. It was the most fun of the vehicles I saw.
Anyhow, as I walked north, lo and behold, I heard the familiar pre-recorded voice Watch the tramcar, please. I was going to be able to log this after all. I saw several tramcars from that point forward. I suspect they only began running at that time, although I am not certain. BTW, I love this tramcar video.
If one is looking for something else to do around here, you may be interested in this shutterspot.
