A very pleasant walk and a history lesson to boot! I always wondered where
Fort Nisqually was before they moved it to Tacoma and now I have been there.
Too Cool.

Caution: The mosquitoes near Box#1 are killers! The feasted on me in a big
way!



Thanks for placing these boxes Bethany.

No problem, Glenn. This was a lot of fun & quite a departure from
my normal daily activities. The mosquitoes aren't so 'vicious' at
other times of the day (dawn & dusk seem to be the 'killer' times).
I have MANY ideas for more in this area, a couple more historic ones-
-just need some time to scout the areas, figure out what's up with
some construction projects in the vicinity and to create the
stamps. We caged the Hummingbird and set the Eagle free yesterday.
That was pretty cool, too! I visited Titlow Park for the first time
a couple of months ago and thought I'd seen everything back then--
boy, was I sure wrong! What a nice escapade on a hot summer day & a
great view of the bridge!!! The 3-1/2 year old made it no problem,
the 8 month old got a little tired along the way--so Mom got to
carry an additional 20+ lbs in the backpack! See you on the trail...
