You are certainly very welcome - don't forget Vernonia Lake when you
come back out if you don't already have that one.

I don't recall The Minstrel's box being particularly hard although I
did goof the clue on the way out but quickly realized my error and
got it on the way back after getting the other boxes.

I hope you got to see some trilliums - I noticed they just started
coming up in the B-V area last week.
