Some of you will recognize this day and already know where the
box resides. I do of course apologize for the length of time between placing the
box and writing the clue.
Two Labs and a Box
Difficulty: wasn't made to be easy
Time:could take a while
Distance: depends on how good you are at figuring out mystery
boxes.
A long time ago a group of people went
,on a blustery mid-winter day ,in search of treasures beyond imagination
and to perhaps place one of their own. Their travels took them down muddy roads
and winding paths and the wind chill provided them all with a sense of urgency.
With two labrador retrievers in tow, or being towed by, the group set out under
blue skies and high hopes. Upon reaching the Bluff, a Point was raised by one
member of the group that a paw print from one of the dogs was certainly fitting
in their stamp book, even though it wasn't expected. What else could you expect
from an over-eager lab that's been locked away in a house all winter that has
suddenly come to a beautiful view at Elaine and Jerry's rock? Whitecaps upon
wind-tossed waves were the order of the day on the water that day. But, it was
okay. The letterboxers ignored the wind. They had business to attend to. Upon
exchanging everyone's stamps, the group continued on road in the direction from
Elaine and Jerry's rock to the actual E&J Bluff letterbox itself. However,
they all knew that this wasn't the end of their day. In fact, it had just begun.
Of course, the labs were both eager as well. Simba and Odie were thoroughly
enjoying each other's company and were both trusted to be let off leash. Every
now and then, other canines would come into view and the doggy friendships
grew. Spirits were high and the mood was 'boxious'.
So, continuing in the direction of
the governor's mansion with Mumford Cove on their right, the group wondered
where indeed they would place their treasure. Searching and searching, finally
one of them noticed the purple and orange Sunset while sitting on a Rock.
Without much hesitation another member noticed that the outside right edge of a
large slab nearby would be a great place to hide a treasure of their own! Dogs
were barking, children were laughing, waves were crashing, life was good. A few
boxes found and another placed. Now if I could just figure out how to write the
clue!
