Chance Meeting

Today, things started out poorly. Most of my dahlia tubers did not make it through the winter. I was so very upset, I went for a long hike. I called a friend to see if he wanted to go with me while I sought out one letterbox and planted two new ones. He didn't answer. Bandit was ready to go though, he always is ready to go.
We went to a special spot by Fishtrap Lake. As I pulled into the parking lot, Colls n DB were also just arriving planning to go letterboxing too. We walked together with their son and his wife until our paths were going seperate directions. What wonderful constant conversation. I really enjoyed getting to know them better.
I found my way cross country to the edge of Fishtrap Lake. It was gorgeous. Bandit retrieved the ball from the water all the time I was planting a letterbox. On the return trip to the car, I spotted a couple very large deer. I think they were bucks that have shed their horns at this time of year. As I walked along beneath them, they were content. When I stopped to stare at them they bolted up this cliff that I could only dream of getting up. They made it look easy.
I planted two more boxes and found one. All in all it was a wonderful day that was salvaged from a poor start.
See Ya
