The pleasure was truly ours, hanging out at the picnic area all day,
we were sure not to miss anyone who came through as letterboxers
spread all over the old Giant in search of treasure: boxes and new
friends.
About 60 stamps were recorded on the Event Clipboard, though some
families share a stamp so there must have been more people there.
Looking through my personal book, I realized I missed a lot of stamps
who I thought I had gotten. Now I can't wait for another gathering! As
it was with the Fall Gathering in R.I., people were already talking
about more opportunities to get together, which I think is the real
measure of success. It was a great day and the gentle old Giant was a
wonderful host.
A note on Lost & Found: a red shirt was left. If it belongs to you,
let me know via private email how to get it back to you.
See you all again soon!!

Thanks to Aili and Bruce for a wonderful gathering!! My husband, "Doc
Science" and I, "Ginger's Journeys" really enjoyed the day and having the
opportunity to put faces with names.
We thought that everyone had fun cooperating to go off to find a few
boxes. Thanks to Butterfly Lady for helping us get started in the "Giant".
It is a truly wonderful place to hike. I also enjoyed our afternoon of
accomplishing the climb to the Giant's Chin and to the Giant's Chest.
Thanks to Pat for not giving up with the Chin clues and to her son, Wesley
for helping us all. I had a lot of fun with Buckaroo and Jennie, too!!
Seeing so many wonderful handcarved stamps has inspired us both to start
carving and placing in Massachusetts!
We found our first letterbox in Dartmoor in 1989 - the Ripon Tor
Letterbox. Somewhere in my house in a small notebook, is the image of a
bull's eye!
Never did we imagine that twelve years later would we be enjoying this
wonderful hobby in our country! Thanks, to all of you who got is started in
the USA!!!
Cheers!
