Nisa,
My boyfriend, Mike, and I went to find your box on Monday. Boy were we in for
a surprise! We got there and started to figure out the clues when we couldn't
figure out the giants of the forest clue. So we spent 2 hours roaming around
Shieling Forest before we ran into a local man walking his dog. He clued us
in right away to what the giants were and we found the box just before dark.
On the wait out though, we got side tracked onto the "flower" trail and almost
got lost at dusk. But we figured it out and made it home safely. The mailbox
at the trail head didn't have any maps in it, so several times we went back to
the head to read the map on the board then returned to the hunt. Maybe you
would consider putting a map of the forest on the web site in case this
happens to anyone else. At any rate, we enjoyed the hunt ( even Mike did, I
dragged him out on a broken ankle [and he did curse me a lot along the way] )
but if it wasn't for him I may have given up sooner and not have found it
then.
Pax,
Danielle
(and now Mike, my little helper)

Yay! You found it, Danielle! I was worried that maybe you got lost and
couldn't find your way out! I work at the hospital just down the road,
so I was checking out the parking lot in Shieling Forest for abandoned
cars. LOL!
Good idea re: the map. Eric (my husband) wanted to make a map of the
trail to go with the clues so now I can put him to work! I'll scan it
up and put it on my website and give it to Dan'l to put with my clues
(if that's okay!)by this weekend. on the L-USA website.
If the weather is still cooperative this weekend, there just may be yet
another letterbox in Peterborough - this time on the Fit Trail by the
hospital!
Thank you Danielle for being my first visitor!

Thanks, Nisa, for providing the focus for a lovely morning outing.
Another early start, and a chance to try out another diner breakfast:
the bacon, tomato, and cheddar cheese omelet at Caron's Restaurant
in Hillsborough was scrumptious.
It's a real treat to walk through parks at this time of year; you
have them completely to yourself. Shieling Forest is lovely. I'd
brought my Sorels just in case, but didn't need them. It was cold
enough to warrant gloves, though, and my hands were almost too cold
to scribble a note in your journal. The Giants were impressive, and
your box was just where it should have been. I stamped our journals
at 7:30, and headed back to Vermont.
Thanks again.
