Caching near to home (for a change)

Getting locked out of work is not really the best start to ones day, but today it did afford me the extra few minutes to be able to wander away from the office to visit the caches near the office.
I could just hang in the lobby, forlorn until everyone else shows up....
On the campus of the Troy Civic Center

Without providing too much [spoiler] information......
Found the Cache GC2XBWQ - City of Troy - By a tree, near a brook once the phone GPS (Droid 2 Global) settled down. I was able to locate the cache with minimal to no bushwhacking. Now I did have to make sure that I approached from the correct side of the brook--which I did not. If you have a similar view of the statue shown above the fold you are on the wrong side of the brook.
by a tree, near a brook (the name didn't lie)
 The Lock-and-lock container was well hidden, but not too difficult once the caching sense kicked in. Truthfully i have been getting really rusty on non-urban caches lately. So finding a cache that did not require magnets was a change of pace.
That's right 1000 WON (South Korean currency)
 The next cache on the walk was GC2XBXV City of Troy - Bridge View. Again without my cache senses working I walked past the stash a couple of times before I happened to look correctly. I did know to avoid any bushwhacking and no extraordinary measures are needed. No, you don't need to do anything suspicious looking while here in the shadow of City Hall.
Sorry if this is a bit of a [spoiler] image
In the meantime I did find a trackable, which i logged the touch of but did not grab.

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

Brewery Tour by Canoe: Boardman Lake, Traverse City, MI

 Boardman Lake is smack-dab downtown in Traverse City, MI. Easily accessible from the lake are three, maybe even four breweries. Local kayak liveries have scheduled tours to kayak and bike to several local breweries and taprooms. So on this August Sunday, StringGrrl and I decided that we should make the tour ourselves.  Coffee first! It would be irresponsible to embark on day drinking un-caffeinated Boardman Lake Trail Bridge and entry to the River There is a free public launch in Hull Park, just behind the Traverse Area Public Library. Parking adequate for up to 5 cars and up to 5 trucks with trailers, right near the launch and more parking elsewhere in the park made for an easy launch that morning. We paddled our way into the river first to have a coffee while drifting through town. Ideally, one should be able to portage the canoe past the dam and connect directly into Grand Traverse Bay, but construction near the dam made that portage just inconvenient enough that StringGrr...
