A Boatload of Fun!!!

Sue & I spent 6.5 hours today in East Hampton, CT doing a series called Noah's Ark. This 29 box series, coordinated and planted by Flutterby, features pairs of animals carved by some of CT's best carvers as well as a handful of other carvers from across the US, including the Ark and Noah and spouse!

As if these 29 weren't enough, several other boxers decided to fill in with missing animals not in the original series so they have added their own to the menagerie! Two-by-two we found them; hither and yon!

The series is hidden in Salmon Brook State Forest - an unspoiled natural habitat of ups and downs that is host to some ancient trees of all species. While the weather looked iffy this morning before we left, we only ran into a few very brief showers and really enjoyed boxing in the cool temps.

It was a wonderful day that found our pedometer reading 5.16 miles when we finally returned to our car and our logbook showing a record 44 finds in one day! While we don't generally count our finds, we were naturally curious as to how many different pairs we had found - including the Beatnik HH by Wisconsin Hiker. It sure was a blast and we thank Flutterby and her many carvers (and those other creators who filled in with missing animals!) It was a great way to begin the week!
