we went to check on the Calatrava/Green One letterboxes which we've recently
*adopted* (they both were placed by BirkieBob whom we hope will return!).
both boxes are in great shape and still intact. the green one has had many
visitors from all over, but the calatrava has only had one in the last
6months! it is a bit harder to find, though. anyone who wants to look and
needs some help, please let us know.

we were a bit dismayed to find the Green One poorly rehidden. we could see
it as we walked up upon the hiding place. :-(

we also found a hitchhiker, "Sealed with a Kiss", at the Green One, which
has made quite the journey from up and down the east coast, to florida, to
here - so we have taken temporary custody and will be relocating it to a new
place, hopefully in california as we are traveling out there in a few weeks!

Subject: [LbNA] Weezil series 1-3 in Johnston, RI


Weezil Series 1-3
Placed by: stephanie
Placement date: Jul 25 2003
State: Rhode Island
County: Providence
Nearest city: Johnston
Number of boxes: 3

Clues
This set of boxes begins the Weezil series- a series of boxes
commemorating the joys of ferrets.
Location: Nature Trails across from Johnston Memorial Park (where you
can also find the missing mascot)

Weezil 1 -----------------------------------------------------
Park in the small lot on the left side of the road, rather than the
park's lot on the right. Scamper down the main entrance trail to
reach the red trail. Follow the red trail NW, passing the Duck Plaque
and crossing several dried stream beds. Stop at the last red-blazed
tree before getting too close too the water- if you come to where the
large logs dump out into the bubbly brook, you've gone too far. From
the tree with the red blaze, take 13 paces headed SE, in the
direction you came from. Weasle your way to the box on your left.
Weezil 2 ------------------------------------------------------
Head back the way you came. Take a left onto orange where orange and
red blazes intersect at a T. At the next T intersection, go north on
yellow. Pass Chipmunk plaque. Before reaching Raccoon plaque, follow
orange trail at fork on right. At fourth tree blazed in NEW orange
(disregard old and faded bands of orange), scurry SE to sparse
remains of a stone wall. Ferret the box out here. Either finish the
orange loop or skedaddle back the way you came.
Weezil 3 ------------------------------------------------------
Scutter back on yellow towards beginnings of trails. Return to where
your car is parked, and steathily wiggle to the west corner of this
small lot. Hunker down on the last large rock on the western end of
the stone wall, view the waterfall, and inconspicuously reach under
your seat. Finally, you've rounded up all of the day's weasles.
Any questions, comments, or maintenance notes, email
