Squirrel,
I guess I'm pretty impressed! It looks like you're averaging about
one box a day. That's even better than Jay Drew (who does hold down
three jobs at the same time.)
However, I'd have to say that it will still be a little while before
VA/MD overtakes CT/RI as the Dartmoor of NA.
Don't you love contests like this! The letterboxers in your regions
sure do.

Hi here are two more boxes from two gray squirrels
Lake Frank Turtle letterbox clue
Lake Bernard Frank
Silver Spring, Maryland
August 20, 2000
Take Avery Road to Lake Frank. Park in the lot. Follow the trail down the hill to a fork in the road. Take the trail toward Nature Center following 5 LS blue blazes. 40 paces from the 5th blaze and the two trees with one trunk you will come to a fork in the trail. Take the center unmarked path downward to the lake. At the bottom of the trail you will see a stonewall on the left. The letterbox is under rocks on top of the wall back about 3 feet.

Take Avery Road to Lake Frank. Park in the lot. Take the trail down the hill to a fork in the road. Take the trail to the right and cross the dam. At the end of the fence on the right side look for a small trail to the right. Follow that down 24 paces to the first tree on the left. Look behind that tree under some rocks for the treasure you seek.

I agree, Tom, it may be a while before VA/MD catches up with CT/RI,
but I've got three ready to be placed in Virginia Beach....two at
First Landing State Park and one at Fort Story, the sight of the
original Cape Henry Lighthouse. I'd like to somehow write being
there at 6 a.m., watching the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean into
the clues, but that was just a bonus of my first visit there. A
soccer tournament last weekend took up most of my time, but I was
able to hike about 4 miles of trail at First Landing, and one more
trip down should be all I need to finish the clues and plant the
boxes. So, CT/RI, standby for some competition.

Kathy, I can't tell you how much we LOVED Fort Story when we lived in
Chesapeake, Virginia. What a perfect place for a letterbox! There is
also a terrific park across the street called "Seaside" or "Seashore"
or some such that has a magnificent walk along cedar swamps and would
bring us all the way along Lynnhaven Bay to the boardwalk at VaBeach.
The navy seals used to run through there and I was always in awe that
running around in that beautiful spot was their JOB. We used to
photograph dolphins body surfing in the waves as the pelicans lifted
rhythmically over the swells. Oooooooooo.......JayD
