Knight in Shining Armor


Location: WW Knight Nature Preserve, Perrysburg, Wood County, OH
Planted By: Mom and kids
Find Date: 6/3/2007
Find #: 64

Comments: Another box found on the way home from the gathering. Cool nature preserve! We "broke the law" and continued on the boardwalk even though there was a "closed due to flooding/repairs" sign blocking the way. We didn't run into any problems, though. Found a Detroit Tigers hitchhiker. After we found the box, we went back into the nature center to look around. There was a sign in there that all of the trails are under video surveillance! I wonder if they caught us on camera going past that sign or stamping in??? Yikes! No one yelled at us, so if they did catch us on tape, they didn't watch in in real-time. Not to gross you out, but beware of the goose poop while you're here! It's everywhere!

Comments: Another stop on the way home from the gathering. Started pouring! Very busy park. Misinterpreted the clues at first and tried to find the box in the wrong place at first, even though there weren't enough benches. Finally found it, but had to wait an eternity for this dog walker guy to go away.

Comments: Bowling Green University. Stopped on our way home from the gathering. Cute stamp of the school mascot. I expected "Ziggy". LOL This box was another lesson in making sure you read the clues! Spent a long time looking in the wrong spot because we didn't read them properly. Anyway, nice diversion from the freeway.

Find Date: 6/2/2007
Find #: 61

Comments: Continuation of trailtrackers' series. Found the first box with no trouble. On to the second box. We looked and looked and looked, to no avail. It was getting late, almost time for dinner, we were tired and dehydrated. We decided to skip this box and go on to the Barbie series. But, we messed up something major and couldn't get back on track. We thought we followed the clues right, but ended up at a dead end at the lake. I don't think trailtracker wanted us to swim to the box! Anyway, we got lost good. We were all tired and crabby and we couldn't find our way out! There were a lot of twists and turns in this part of the park. We finally found our way out and found the place where I had planted the Only You box the night before. We "unplanted" Smokey and took him back to the gathering with us so we wouldn't have to pick him up Sunday before we left. All in all, we decided we spent way too much time at the gathering place doing exchanges and stamping event stamps. It was a blast to meet everyone, but there were so many cool stamps that were planted in the area that we missed out on!

Comments: trailtracker had a 7 box "series" on this trail system, it was really 3 separate series, but you were supposed to find them in order. We found these two boxes with no trouble.... Very good stamps! Tons of poison ivy! Ack.

Comments: Very cute, 5 box series right near the gathering location. Accidentally found box #3 the night before while looking for a place to plant my box. Didn't stamp in until the next day. When we went to "officially" find that box, it was MISSING!! I couldn't believe it. But, while we were stamping into box 4, we saw Trailstompers and Trailtracker bringing box 3 back.

Find #: 53

Comments: Had to figure out the clues to find DoubleDragon's campsite to get the clues for this box. This box was hidden off the trails near her site. Awesome stamp of a tree with a lady hidden in the trunk. Trail Troll and her buds followed us to the campsite, thinking they were following us to the exit of the campground. They had figured out the campsite ahead of time, too, so we didn't give anything away. Ran into Doodle & Deedle Bug at the box.
