CT "Walking Weekend"-Counting Ants,etc.

Glad to say that despite the wet weather, "Walking Weekend" in
CT was definitely not a complete wash-out for us this year! We
took in quite a few of the nature and history walks, slipped back
to RI briefly for the mystery gathering, and even managed to
squeeze in a bit of letterboxing between walks on Sunday and
Monday! The most fun walk of all, though, was probably taking
Pete on the trail of the "Ants Go Marching" yesterday in Hampton,
CT. I'd gone up there a few days earlier and was just charmed by
those cute little ant stamps! Now, Pete wants to count them as a
series of 10 (instead of just 1), since we did manage to find all
10 ants, and it does seem sort of unfair that someone who might
find just 1 or 2 of the ants and then sign the logbook at the end
would get the same count (1) as someone who takes the time to
find more or all of them! I maintain that just getting the whole
stamp collection of the cute little fellows doing all those strange
little things is its own reward, but I would also be curious to hear
other people's opinions. At any rate, don't miss checking out
those cool ants! I also have to say I got the biggest charge
thinking about those revolutionary women baring arms for the
cause of freedom at Irishtinker's great new series in Coventry,
CT! We're certainly lucky to have so many talented carvers and
planters in our neck of the woods! Thanks again, guys!

I think that every box found should count as a find but they all should have books in them as well as stamps. I saw that the planter said to find the 10 boxes but count it as 1 find. I didn't care too much for that idea and never bothered to get out to them even though I am familier with the area. I would hope the planter makes adjustments even if it means redoing the clues to make each box a find. That's just my thinking on the subject and I mean no disrespect to the planter or anyone who does not mind the original idea.....Chuck and Molly
