3-Dams at Shelton, CT

Our last letterboxing trip took us to Shelton, CT to the 3 dams located here. We are looking for the 3-Dam letterboxes by Trailhead Tessie. It is quite beautiful here as you can see. Here I am at Pine Lake. Do you see all those trees? Those are tall pine trees.

Here we are on the Bridge to Bridge trail. We only did half of it; a 3 mile round trip. This is among the trees of Pine Lake. Aren't they beautiful? They reach all the way to heaven! You can't see me in this picture, because I'm way up in the trees!!

Do you see that little building in the water? That is the Pine Lake Gate house. It goes all the way down to the bottom of the lake. Can you picture someone going down in that windowless dark place? I don't think I can do that! I like the sunshine too much!

Here we are at the second dam. You can see the Silent Water through the trees.
Happy Penguin, Brawl and I are stamping in the letterbox that we found. Brawl is making a silly face.

Here we are by Pine Lake.
I had a fun time visiting Sally-O and her family in CT.
I will miss them very much!

Hugs,

More of Beautiful Connecticut

Hi again, all the way from Connecticut. Don't you just love the way the sun lights up the forest here. The trees are just begging to be swung on! This is at Reservoir #6, where Sally-O had that run in with that ranger! Luckily, we took the box with us so it wouldn't be lost. We were able to return it to it's owner, who happens to be Rubaduc & Gizz. So it was nice to met them again.


Look at this Tower. This is the Hublein Tower. You have to hike up Talcott Mountain to get here. It was closed when we got here, but the view from on top was breathless.
we were looking for some mystery letterboxes up there. Out of the 4 boxes, we were able to find one of them.

Look at what we found next to the tower! Two little critters!

Happy Penguin wanted to take them home, but we don't have any of it's milkweed food in our yard, so we left them there. I wonder what kind of butterflies they will become. I think one is a Monarch, but what is that little one next to it?

Rocks& Trees

Dear friends,

While we were out looking for the Mane Thing by Rubaduc, we saw some interesting rock formations. The first one is one of Rubaduc's favorite, which she calls the Titanic. Here you can see Brawl in the middle of it. There is a little swallow nest near the top on the cliff side.

Then we found Kilkenny Rock! It is huge!!! Here we are at it's base. Can you see me? I am a tiny dot. There is a letterbox here but we didn't know it that day. LOL

On the way back, we saw this interesting tree growth. What can that be??!!
I couldn't resist taking a picture of me with it! I'm calling it Pinkie's tree.

Boxing with Happy Penguin & Brawl

8-22-08
Dear friends,

Here I am with my new boxing friends: Happy Penguin & Brawl. Can you find me in the pictures? That's me in the middle of things. :-) We are busy stamping in our first letterbox that day: "Alphabet Duc" by Rubaduc, a favorite letterboxer of Happy Penguin & Brawl. Their first box that they started letterboxing was one of hers!

We found this cool brook and went exploring. We saw animal tracks, snail shells & crayfish claws & little fishes in the water. I had to be very careful not to get my lovely pinkie fur wet!
Look what Brawl found!

It's really tiny! Hey, let me see!

That day, we found six boxes! Not bad for one day!! Most of them were planted by Rubaduc: Think Pink, The Mane Thing (2 boxes), and we also found one by Sparky Butterfly: Another Sort of Guardian. And on our way back, we found a surprise box that we had no clues for. We just looked behind a "perfect" tree and found "Flying Ladybug" by Monalu. She is a good friend of Brawl & Happy Penguin.
What a nice way to end the day!!

BB Pinkie

Pinkie is here!

BB Pinkie arrived a couple of weeks ago and he has been very busy boxing with us this Summer.
Once school starts again, we will probably not be able to" live & breathe letterboxing" for a while!

Of course, we had to take Pinkie to see our favorite spot to hike near us. The MDC Reservoir. What a beautiful day!

Finally going to Connecticut!

Well, I finally made my way to Sally-O's in Connecticut! I headed out on August 8th....can't wait to get there!

I'm sure I will have loads of fun while I'm there :)

Ready to travel again!!

Well, I am ready to travel again, so our family found us a new family to visit.

Now that my family is back from vacation, I will be heading out to visit Sally O in Connecticut!!

Pinkie visits Oregon!

I went to visit 7trailwanderers in April.

I had a great time visiting their family :)
