--That's exactly what I didn't want to happen. The kind men did take
a report. They kept asking why I was down in Howard Co. when I live
in Carroll. I just kept repeating I was out getting exercise and
liked to walk in new areas. I NEVER once mentioned letterboxing. They
really would have thought I was crazy! I'm sure there will be a
little blurb in their local gazette on Friday about the Mud Walking
Woman.
The neat thing is I got a hospital gown and blanket out of it.
I'll save it for next Halloween.

The story could be called Psycomommy's fiasco. Karin, I am calling
you PILGRIM from now on. I hope that you have added a space emergency
blanket and ski cap along with all your other emergency paraphernalia
into your new backpack. Better to be prepared for any other possible
mishaps. You don't want hypothermia.
