Hi, Mom!It has been so busy for the last few days that I have not had a chance to write about our activities. Tweeter, Pinky and I sat down and decided that each one of us would write about a different part of our adventures. I get to tell you about going to Nelson Lake.
On Friday, Stacy wanted to try to get the last boxes she needed to reach her goal of 100. The sitter she had lined up for the kittens was sick, and they ended up getting to come too. We headed up to Batavia to a preserve called Dick Young. There were two boxes there for us to find. Following the clues, we headed off around the lake. It was a beautiful day, there were butterflies everywhere and lots of people were out with their dogs. We had Kirby with us. (Nitrocat says that the stamp that will become his personal traveller is in a postal ring right now. It is almost done, and she hopes it makes it home before we have to leave so that we can have the image.) There was a field of wildflowers in bloom and we saw lots of birds too.
We walked and walked and walked and walked and walked. We ended up going all the way around the lake! Both boxes ended up being AWOL, so it was a bit of a disappointment for all of us. Stacy tried to help us look on the bright side and remember all of the neat things we had seen. She said the park was worth visiting even without the letterboxes. Later we found out that the trial around the lake is over 3 miles long! She also told us that we had gone the wrong way around the lake. If we had gone the other direction, we would have only walked about a mile looking for the letterboxes. She made us promise that we wouldn't tell the kittens. Poor J had blisters! I wish I could have carried her.
More later!
