...But first, coffee (with Jen)

Last year my hubby and I discovered Geocaching.  I can hear the questions now - What is Geocaching?  It's looking for hidden containers using the Geocaching app on your phone (connects to phones location).  That's right.  You're looking for Tupperware (usually, but can be other containers - see pic below) in the woods using your expensive Smartphone.  It's so much fun and it brings you to locations that you typically wouldn't visit.  And, the Geocachers are a bunch of potterheads - so the terms used in the geocache comments include "muggle", meaning non-geocachers (people) and "preforming magic" meaning locating/retrieving the geocache.

I love Summer.  I love the sun. I love the warmth. And I love the exploring! This post is about historic Brigus . This (mostly) quiet little town is fantastic to explore.  In the main section of town you have narrow roads, a mix of older and newer homes, historic sites, a walking trail to the lighthouse (which I have yet to do), and places to shop and eat. During the Summer months Brigus comes alive with tourists, and it is a site to take in for the Blueberry festival (omfg the food!) This pic above is from the other side of the town. It's really quite on this side as it is away from the tourist sites. On a trail, opposite of the water, are a few really old, abandoned homes.  They've been pretty trashed over the years.  Below is the house that is still standing.  I love how tucked away it is - you would never know it is there if you didn't' venture down the pathway. We don't luck into finding places like this.  We found this gem while Geocaching!...
