It has been a week since I leveled up to 25 in Pokemon Go and I’ve been gaining experience at a faster pace because of all the eggs I’ve hatched and I made use of the Lucky Egg when I was at the mall on Monday. I’ve often thought about tweeting to get additional stops in Stony Point, maybe at the Cove Deli since it’s been there for decades but I doubt anything would come from it. During my walk around noon I hit up my usual stops and gym but I wanted to go to the Stony Point Battlefield to get a pic of the cannon. I want it to have when gun control advocates bring up the thing about muskets, well they had cannons back then too. Whether it’s an eight pounder or grapeshot I don’t want to be on the wrong side of it. I normally on use my phone for pics and recording when at the Battlefield but I kept the Pokemon Go app open to get mileage. As I got closer to the park entrance I started seeing gyms and stops and figured those have to be elsewhere.
The Stony Point Battlefield has about a dozen Pokestops and three gyms. I could only access 2 of the 3 because I couldn’t get close to the King’s Ferry one. When did they appear because I don’t remember them last year so that’s why I never tried hunting down there. I like the route I take for my morning walk which allows me to get 3 stops but I might have to start making use of the park since it’s right there. If I had more influence in the Team Mystic community I would host a picnic there. The tables are right near one of the gyms and you can do laps around the park all day loading up on points and items. Though I wouldn’t want to take away from what goes on during the weekend there. I want people to actually to visit the museum and learn about colonial life. I could do trivia contests for gift cards and Liberty’s Kids DVDs make sure they know their history.
Since I leveled up I was trying to figure out what pace I was on to reaching 26 so I started doing some math to see how many points in a day if I wanted get there within a month. It works out to be little under 6500 points which is doable. This past week I’ve earned over 70 thousand points and all I have to do is keep that up. The other thing I’m keeping up is being a gym buster. To have one Pokemon start cleaning house on a gym that’s six deep is a rewarding feeling. I know others put in work and time wears down the defenders but someone has to go in with coup de grace and it’s been me a few times. And when it’s Dr. Teef with his Blissey or Dragonite it’s all the more special because I’m real tired of seeing those overpowered Pokemon in the gyms. Sure once I evolve Chansey into Blissey I’ll be putting her into gyms but I like to think I do mine with variety.
