Original message posted on the talk list on 4/5/03 from Leader of the Pack:
Yes finally the weather and trail at Diana's Pool is somewhat improved! So
save April 13 - Sunday at 1 p.m. to Meet the famous Molly Dog and follow her
on the trail to 3 boxes in her honor. For those not familiar with Molly's
good deed. We had a winter gather at Diana's Pool in honor of Butterfly's
birthday. The weather was freezing and there was over a foot of snow. At the
end Butterfly had lost her car keys. We searched and searched. Myself and
several others. Then Chuck took Molly out to have another look and that
little dog walked right up and put her nose on those keys in the deep snow!
What a good dog and faithful letterboxer! So we put out 3 boxes to thank
Molly and Chuck and Chickabirdie. Of course they will have the only clues
that day and they will be posted after the event. So join us on the trail.
We will have to park tightly and double up if there is over flow we will
van pool others from the commuter lot where Paddle to the Sea and Falling
Stars begins. Come for the three boxes and event stamp and all those
wonderful exchanges. Directions: Diana's Pool is a well known eastern Ct.
fishing spot with scenic rapids deep in the Hemlocks. Take Rte 6 to Chaplin
turn onto Rte 198 Diana's Pool is down 198 1/4 to 1/2 mile on the right note
there is room for maybe 6-8 cars if we double up 12-14 and I will van pool
others to the site when we reach capacity parking.
Leader of the Pack
The weather and day turned out
perfect. We were able to see many old friends to to greet many new ones.
Hope everyone had as good a time as we did. Thank you to Carolyn (Leader of
the Pack), Butterfly and Irishtinker for the time and effort put into this
gathering and the terrific stamps! Thanks too for everyone who came. It was
great seeing everyone. As you can see, we took a lot of pictures and hope we
got pictures of everyone. Hope we have all the names right. Enjoy!
Chuck, Molly & Chickabirdie
