I'm so excited that someone (Tom) found one of my boxes!!! Now I'll have
to go check and see what your stamp looks like. The first box in Wendell
State park (Mass.) is easy--I thought it would be nice for parents and kids
to look for, but it's true the second one requires hiking quite a ways
further and a bit more snooping. I'll revisit it and see if the clue could
be made a little better.
BTW, I got no message for a week and today received 86! So I'm playing
catch up...

PS. Rachel, I'm bummed that when I was in Chicago for a long weekend I
wasn't able to get up to Evanston to find your box. Maybe next time!

I had a wonderful day in the park, Bonnie. You picked a lovely spot.
Do you live near Wendell?
I liked your clues a lot. The rock juttin out of the trail was great
- it had a crack in it like a mouth, and really did look like a
dolphin or a giant frog. I'm pretty positive the one I saw was the
one you meant. There were three large birches after it, within 30
feet. But I couldn't identify for sure the leaning tree or the
clearing it pointed to. I searched for 1 1/2 hours in that area for
a small shelter, but with no luck.
I will go back in the spring and try again. Thanks for a great
outing!
