Automobili Ford Libro Da Colorare: You or your child will love to fill the pages of this coloring book with bright colors.
Each coloring page is printed on a separate sheet 8. But colors are not a major clue, imho. Just actual true story by Fenn about tea most likely. Okay I will tell you my thoughts because you are way off from my thinking. They are all types of peas. Red peas, Green peas, Black peas, Sweet peas, and the black and white peas would be black eyed peas which are black and white. I never heard of red peas myself, I think some beans might be called peas in some cultures Louisiana, Caribbean??
If there is a hint in OLGA, I think its more likely in a different topic… like the milage or the bathtub or the bubble gum. I believe that FF likely added some odd details like different color teas throughout the book purposefully. Personally it seems the tea isnt anything and the real takeaway is how Fenn interpreted her wish for her ashes to be spread and the searcher jas to do the same with Fenn and his clues. Every word that survives editing is intentionally placed.
And hopefully all words fit their context naturally. Messages written in code depend on precise placement, on the counting of spaces or characters. Code writing is hyper-intentional writing. Maybe they were deliberately placed, but not necessarily to aid the seeker. IMO, the poem is what will aid the seeker. Once the poem has been fully understood, the hints will reveal themselves as confirmation of the solution. That sounds right JBL. The hints are more confirmation for the finder than helping the seeker IMO.
I have a different theory regarding the chapter Tea with Olga. Then after reading the posts here recently, I googled Olga Tea and came upon a website that has Olga Tea. The brand is Adagio. The official name of that tea is Grand Duchess Olga tea. I think Zap would like that information. To answer your question above; the TP is a conformation that my first clue is correct.
The Leon Bridge scrapbook is also conformation of this clue. Try looking up river about six miles from the bridge and see what you find. I too like the golf connection as well, but have not been able to take it full circle. Has anyone else ever made a golf connection to the Sweet Fragrance scrapbook? Fred Y, You know whats weird? We never knew he like golf until scrapbook Tea it up with a he cup. Is the time spent,.
For me it gradually became an obsession. I would go to bed thinking, loosing about an hour or two of sleep. I now have a solve and resting well. I think I found out about the chase in I am a dispatcher and work night shift. Back then I told a few of my coworkers and we would hash out ideas all night long. This went on for a year. One of them ended up leaving so that left 2 of us. We would research between calls.
Eventually the novelty of it wore off and we slacked off for a while. Occasionally we would revisit it and drum up new ideas. It seems that he has lost interest but still allows me to bounce ideas off of him. I tend to forget what my train of thought was by the time I woke up so I started sending myself text messages to remind myself later that day. At this point i only spend an hour or so per week committed to research but that may be because I think I have a solid solve and am patiently waiting for warmer weather. Thanks for the great post. Things started to come together last night, The message is still not clear as I know the real work starts now.
I never know being one that works on call and my shift varies from day to day as well or so. I did recently read that Mr. Fenn was interested in getting a bracelet back from the TC. Well, i have to go now. B — you mentioned: Personally, I would return it — if it has some sentimental value to FF, it would be the right thing to do.
For those who say they would not return it, it seems they are blinded by the value of the treasure… IMO. I learned of the Chase about 4 years ago, but never spent much time before February of this year on it. It was then that the fever hit me. I am at an advantage as I am not able to work outside of the home for health reasons, and my youngest is in school all day.
Waiting for the snow to melt now. Seems our thoughts may be in the same context. I hope you hunt goes well as soon as the snow melts! I too have work and family responsibilities so all of that is always taken care of first. The cool thing is I have a 35 minute drive to work and back again in the evening. That drive is some great thinking time. Just a few notes. I fixed some layout issues on mobile devices and added a back to the top button that should make it a lot easy to scroll back to the top of the page.
It seems faster, but it posts slower now. Before it would immediately post, but there seems to be a delay now. Is there a reason for that? That should be resolved once we update all the server software to the latest and greatest versions. And, thank you Dal and Goofy for this site. I sincerely appreciate all of the work that goes into keeping this running smooth AND the good content.
Thank Dal and Chris for your work and efforts to keep this site up. It is a wonderful resource and appreciated! My friend sent me this video and said it looked like Forrest on guitar. I said no Forrest has more hair and wears hush puppies…. Not too many guitarists can play it that well. With just a quick glance, it did look like Mr. Fenn from a distance. The guitarist in the video is really good. Thank you for hosting the blog Dal. At such times, I do fulfill all familial and professional responsibilities as usual but with an I.
So yeah, it must be the challenge that attracts me. Anyone else having problems? After your first comment does your name fill back in? It should stay in that device for 2 weeks. In 5 years I would guess about hours reading, looking at maps, playing with ideas, planning searches. I would log more time if closer to the mountains, but I kind of stall out with a solve until I can go test it. It is a fun hobby, I love solving puzzles but never had one that lasted 5 years.
So many firsts for me, catching Rocky Mountain trout, watched Sandhill Cranes feeding, had a Grouse heart attack — you know what I mean if one ever jumped from your feet, watched courting Grebes, a Garter Snake convention, Mountain Lion dining hall, so many more close encounters with wildlife and plant life. And the mountain views have me hooked. Maybe one day life will allow me a summer cabin there. I too have stepped on grouse grenades and it temporarily stops my heart every time. Best of luck and be safe. Thanks to all that responded to my post above https: All have been great responses.
Could you explain the issue in more detail? Was there not an option reply button to reply to that comment? The settings are currently set to reply 4 deep. Could it be that? Let me see if it works Chris. Thanks for your great help. Seems to be working. My name and email populated finally just now after putting it in. Was not populating before.
This thing runs like a Cadillac. So the site might go down for a few minutes as processes restart. I was hoping that someone could help me locate a video clip that was done over a year ago where Forrest was at his home, standing in front of his wall filled with medicine bags, and giving advice on how to stay safe in the mountains. All I see is the odds and ends thread and the same people.
Are we in the Twilight Zone? I was wondering the same thing. Maybe everyone is out running to the same spot…. See ya my friend. I apologize for whining the other day about posts, etc. I appreciate all of the work you have done. Could it be my browser? I have to close and restart, then things are fine and then after clicking on a different thread the problem starts again. My browser is FireFox. I just checked this also happens on Edge also.

If I understand it correctly, when you click the reply button, the new reply goes to the top of the thread? What happens if you click this link? Hi everybody I am having a problem with the interviews. Are you referring this this page? I just tried to open your website and I kept getting a pop-up window to either browse on my computer to select a program to open or save a file named ocet-stream.
I then tried a search for your website and clicked on the link there and had the same problem opening the site.
The only way I got in was to click on Rules in the search results under your blog name. An indirect way to get in other than clicking on a direct link to your home page. I did some experimenting. I had to jump through hoops to get to your site. It just started happening an hour or so ago. Just made some changes to the server to see if it would correct it.
Is it still not opening correctly? Is there a page that it happens on every time? I added some extra code to make sure the browser scrolls to the clicked on comment, so that should be working too. This site is working pretty dang good overall.
This will be great for next winter commenting and researching. Next winter, you can comment and research about your grandchildren and great-grandchild ren. I should say sometink about the hunt. My very first search in Montana lead me to a tree with a lower case f carved in the trunk; rechecking the spot this summer.
Must have been typo. The quote is here on SB 52 https: Was tea with olga actually a tea ceremony? If so the colors of tea relate to directions as well. Green tea is east or wood, Red tea is south and fire, and black tea is north and water. Possible triangulation to the chest? Interesting theory John Edo.
May I ask where you are getting this tea ceremony info from? Was looking at pentagram wikipedia and then to here: Funny, I was just looking at that and know exactly where it is. Thanks for sharing JE. Besides triangulation, those directions could align with the path to the treasure. Just looking at this with forrests comment to go back to the earth, this would have him in the wood. After earth is water; rebirth ; into the fire to form metal. The circle of life, in this case a star. I think thats what clues hint to, and key is to find the center by connecting the clues!
Any others you can find? I noticed that some time ago and thought it was pretty clever. Bighorn Medicine Wheel, Dancing with the Stars. Sit in the middle, 24th spoke, extend a tangent, distance in miles is in the book, puts you to where a bell is buried, IMO. Hint, buried on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. I had also found another medicine wheel that i believe follows the poem, but is unknown; puts orion, sirius, pleiades on map!
He may want to know. The more you think about it, the more it makes you think…. The med wheel is not so much a solve. Outside of the poem. More like a big hint factory. As far as a solve, have nothing in the solve relating to med wheel. It just so happens that the med wheel points to my spot. I just think that it might fit the story of the bells because it points to an almost exact spot, within a mile. Figure there may be a bell. Nothing in the poem has told me as much, so I take it as it is, a possible outside source of something outside the poem.
The wheel matches more to the book. My solve is just follow the instructions in the poem. Look for instruction words and letters and do what is told to do. According to the link you put for the tea ceremony that adds west too. There are many cultures with many different tea ceremonies. How may I add an image to my posts? Good luck — JDA. You can upload a profile image at http: Just about the time you posted, I had started looking on WordPress and spent 20 of some of the most frustrating minutes figuring out just what you posted! I gave up on WordPress and went to the internet for help.
Ultimately creating an account on gravatar to my email. GCG- You must have missed the memo. Sparrow- it is a ruse. Forrest is not now and will never be dethipicable. Seems to be km away. Thanks Dal…Cynthia has brought up a great point to look at closely. I tend to agree that a searcher can logically exclude areas by doing proper research. I believe that the Poem is going to spell out exactly where to go…. Ken- Forrest said if you can find the treasure chest you can have it. I suspect there is a bit more to it when all is said and done…a savvy searcher will have a plan.
Like how Yellowstone lake looks like a football player- Thumb being the football. What I found curious was your comment: Sounds like a huge philosophical change for you. Do you really believe this WWWH not a discreet spot or were you just trying to stir the conversation? Almost always used to refer to speech. Same root word of course, halt. So that is different than ho most here and elsewhere seem to treat the word Halt. Maybe there is no body of water. Maybe whatever it is sputters or limps or limps.
Beauty and Chromatic pools are connected underground. Over a period of weeks one pool gets hotter and begins to overflow as the other gets cooler and stops overflowing. Then the process reverses. Usually the pool that is overflowing is the most colorful. Foot and Mouth Disease. It is disputed whether or not halt is contagious; and, to be safe, it should be attended to at once. If neglected, all the feet become affected; and from the difficulty of moving about to obtain food the animal losses flesh, while if taken in time it causes little detriment. Lol, wwwh has something to do with Epsom salt….
Locolobo I wonder if anyone showed that comment to seeker. Ive seen his past posts last year of using YS as such a wwwh. I have could the YS boundary be a possibility to keep an open mind. I dont have wwwh nailed but, but have many options. It seemed he put so much into expressing that YS was the wwwh. At least its off my list. HA… I was almost convinced for a nanosecond… maybe! It is those details that count Ken. I hope that I have listened, and figured out the last couple of details.
I guess only time will tell pardner — JDA. I have a the theory, Mr. I believe it to be possible, several people have found the chest. I wonder if he has a crew in the shadows to keep this thrill forever alive? The treasure truly is the chase and thrill of it all! I have several sites to search in the four states come the thaw.
Two of the best are in National Parks — one in Colorado, the other in Wyoming. Imagine the Marvel when gazing upon the nearly empty contents of the chest which contains only some instructions. I take the hint of a duplicate chest from the stories of casting the bells. Mr Fenn has access to a foundry and it should be readily possible to have created a near duplicate chest.
When possession of the historical chest is achieved and opened, that Marvelous gaze will still bring tears. If I were to find the chest under these circumstances, I would imagine leaving the chest with a waterproofed log for future finders to record their names, as after the first finder, the truth of the location will become more and more difficult to keep.
The issue that has been brought up about having to bring the TC to lets say the National Forest Service if found. This would raises the question why would one have to do that legally? From Wikipedia, on National Forests: These are mostly lands that were kept in the public domain, with the exception of inholdings and donated or exchanged private forest lands.
Yes, public domain means: The current owner is F and knows where it is, he is the donor and giving it to the one that finds it. I truly see no reason what so ever to turn it over. Please go to the Legal thread, read through it, and you might change your mind. In the legal thread you have entries by bloggers who have a legal background, and probably know a bit about the topic.
Just a suggestion — JDA. I agree CharlieM to the point that Fenn was not foolish in his endeavor. I can see that as a possibility. So I can see Fenn thinking this. Buy what you actually do, thats up yo you. Or by reporting it, its the way of Fenn finds out it was found. Of course I would tell F that I found it. Your talking about digging holes and leaving them. Those people deserve trouble. Im torn about notifying Fenn. I dont know if I want to take that away from him and me. I say me as its my vision…. Hey, I imagine the finder would have to just sit in the vehicle for awhile before even driving home.
That could be the most dangerous drive ever. Thinking about what to do next, or talking to someone on the phone, etc. I would expect instructions on what to do next would be in the chest. He paid attorneys and said he thought of everything. In the old America we grew up in, you are correct. At any rate, if I were the finder, I would expect Forrest has left something which makes it clear how to proceed.
After the finder contacts Forrest, or a law firm he has designated, then the finder becomes the heir of that trust. Even if Forrest is still alive and well, this still works just fine. It is a really great way to shield an inheritance from taxation. No one ever needs to know where it was found. Just a visit is all—just a visit. Are you hiding something? I just took a drive, nothing more—just a fishing trip is all. Can i go now? Several years ago when coming back into California from Oregon the state border would ask if you had anything to declare.
They would ask if you had fruit etc. No border checks and the only issue I had was a speeding ticket in Idaho. I was sure I knew where the chest was and was a little too eager to get to it. They still have the stations but usually just wave you through. Want is your confidence level on a scale of being absolutely confident, i. I will start… Cease, , contact f via snail mail or e-mail less than once per year. Also, Peace, 80, I make sure to say hello to f at Fennboree gatherings and book signings. I think I learned of Kim and Stephen Hawking within an hour of each other.
Slurbs seemed kind of incoherent to me. Is he asking for how often we communicate with Fenn? To me, if F does not reply one must assume he did not read the email. To not receive a reply and think that F HAS read the email seems folly. My few emails to him have been merely informative, with a few pictures on one occasion. I did not ask any questions Chase-related or otherwise , nor did I expect any replies. Never email Forest although he would be interested in my solve…. Did not hear back through email. Though I did think for maybe 1 minute that it was me, and then had a hearty laugh at myself: This will be my third and final trip to this location.
Sounds like my story. Good luck to you too! When in July will you be there? We have emailed F half-dozen times to keep him updated with our progress. Only one response back…when we sent him a picture of the Jayhawk posse.. I hold the tarry scant with marvel gaze, I need to be brave and in the wood. I think my effort was worth the cold but time will tell. I email Forrest often and share my stories. I think he should enjoy being chased as much as we enjoy chasing him. It is with great sorrow and sadness that I have to say goodbye to my wife of 20 years this morning due to complications with the flu.
Rest in peace my love. Kim I will truly miss you — you were my heart, my soul, and my eternal love. Tim , my heart goes out to you. Also does my condolences to you and your family. My prayers are with you my friend… I promise to stay safe for her and you….. Tim, I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I am sure that in her next journey, she will find the riches she so deserves.
Peace my friend — JDA. Sending to you and your family love and hope… Take care my friend…. Tim, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. This is so heart breaking. You have been with this community for along time. With our deepest condolences. May you find comfort friend. Tim, please accept my deepest sympathy.
And please know that the entire community mourns your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Tim, Sorry hear of your loss. Never give up , there are dreams waiting for you and a shadow for you to follow each day. In a movie based on a true story, The Other Side of the Mountain, there is this line: How lucky I am to have found someone and something that saying goodbye to is so damned awful. May you rest in peace, Kim, and may peace be with you, Tim and family.
May your precious memories give you strength as you get you through each minute of every day. We are truly sorry for your loss Tim. May peace be with you through this difficult time until you are reunited. All in good spirits…. I have no plans to reunite with her any time soon, but have my voice recorder handy if she wants to talk!! Yes, that is one piece of equipment that can be used.
I am so very sad to hear of your loss. Life can be so unfair. The HoD is a great support group in times like this. Your loss is our loss and like Spallies I am at a loss for words. The news is shocking and makes me feel sad. This community is what I wish many communities around the world would do…. That is what I thank all of you for doing…. A stranger from the coast Communal empathy and a toast In times of sorrow, one is true Love exuded unto you. I have no other words and I am sorry for your loss. Please stay connected because this community is filled with love and hope.
I just now saw your post, and the posts of all the others offering condolences. I am so sorry to hear of your loss and want you to know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry to hear that!! I know no words can bring comfort, but just know you are in my thoughts and you have my deapest condolances. My heart goes out to you and your family, Tim. There are just no adequate words. May you find comfort in the treasure of memories the two of you shared. Oh Tim, so sorry for your loss.
My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. May you and your family find comfort in the Lord. May your memories be full of many fun and happy times with Kim. My deepest condolences for you and your Kim. Very sorry for your loss, Tim. Prayer for you to have an overflow of love and peace especially right now. My deepest sympathy for your loss and the personal struggle that you are enduring.
May she rest in peace. This is my first post, so I hope I do not misspeak. This community, that you are apart of, is heartbroken for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Tim Zosorocks , https: These words are Biblical and His promise to us that we will all be together up there, somewhere in heaven but for now, while we are alive, its a special place in the Rockies we search for.
Another way of saying this: How many clues can only be decoded in situ? A searcher must go to the site to find the treasure. I firmly believe that those looking for the TC must be familiar with the search area. GE or maps will get one to a general location, but one needs to be physically in the search area at least once to understand the solution.
A good two days was needed for me while on my first search to become familiar with the area. The terrain speaks volumes in the solution to finding the TC. Of course there where long hours spent after I returned home on the computer. I was using GE and a couple of other special maps and things that F and others had said that helped.
The one oddity that I found was Dr Pepper did fit in, but only after I had found what I believe is the hiding spot of the chest. The other approach was to think along the lines of what might be out of character of F and then again not so much. I also believe the distance is larger than what one may think from the beginning to the end.
As I said earlier the terrain speaks volumes and that is physically being there. One needs to understand the terrain to solve where the TC is. I believe that is the only way to find the TC. Feet on the ground then go home to research and then feet on the ground to retrieve. Lol, a fit 80yr old man or a sickly one? One who wakes up early and likes to get out and walk around or one that likes to watch tv? One that can run a marathon, or one that stands in the crowd. And, if you are walking long distances looking for the treasure, then…….
A person might get on a tangent many times and there are more potential detours with a longer distance. You might be right and it might also explain part of why solving correctly is so difficult. I would say that your opinion is totally correct. Some of the clues need to be found. Take a lot of pictures is a good idea. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th clues seem to be BotG clues.
Need to be there and see it. You can solve the poem, but not all the clues. Most of the clues are just to help a searcher know they are on the right track. The clues are just not that important compared to solving the poem. Forrest already had his spot, was going to make it work, the clues were noticed far afterword. Solve the poem, the clues will reveal themselves. He did not need a map. No map is needed to start trying to solve the poem, and only gets in the way.
So yes Charlie, a good knowledge of the area is a good idea, and probably needed. N could easily become: It is entirely possible that BOTG is needed to find clues past the first few. It is important, i think, to stay open minded about ways to solve this poem. It is fun to feel locked in and confident in a solve but being open minded about other potential methods seems logical to me. Solving the poem is solving the clues. CharlieM and I see this part differently. I say solving the poem gives you a spot on a map.
Lets say the blaze is a mark on a tree. The poem does not have the info to solve for the blaze. But you solve the poem, get a spot, and head out. You pass by the first couple of clues then come to a tree with an owl marking. Below it is something the looks like a marvel gaze or whatever.
You go on to your spot, find the chest. You now know that the tree with the owl marking was the blaze.
Some clues will be found on your path to your spot. Nobody here will solve all 9 clues before there first trip out. The only way to do that is to solve the poem. The poem tells you the spot the chest is at. In a sense, CharlieM is right, solving the poem is solving the clues. If you solve the poem, you will solve the clues. There are instruction words throughout the poem, this does not happen in regular speech, poetry, casual conversation, whatever.
Each line has instructions, this also never happens, except in this poem. IMO, they are two different parts of the chase. Just the fact that f has commented that a searcher will not know wwwh is until they have the chest confirms this idea. Look what the subject is in this ATF: What surprises me a little is that nobody to my uncertain knowledge has analyzed one important possibility related to the winning solve.
Something with the clues and hints. Forrest, Did you intend for there to be 9 clues, or did it work out to be just right with 9? Although I changed it a few times over the months I think the number stayed about the same. So, if you know a searcher who has not been out on a search, but says they know what the 9 clues are and where the treasure is, you know they are just blowing smoke. They have no idea really. I would say 25 miles is a good estimate.
Those migrating west walked abouy 20 miles a day, 20 isnt far, but 25 is too far to walk. I think using a compass or any numbers will tend to keep a solve from being a good one in my opinion. Lol, I want to comment but why? Will you be searching at night? I believe that a searcher may figure out a clue but not fully understand the clue.
Then after returning home and moping around, physically recuperating, and rehashing the hints for a couple of weeks does the little light bulb suddenly click on and a new level of understanding emerge. It would help if Forrest would respond to my e-mails to give me a thumbs up, but so far, nothing! Although some people have interpreted what he has told them as an affirmation.. I think they were deluding themselves. In my opinion, one of the reasons Forrest has decided to stop communicating with searchers is because they often wrongly interpret what he has written to them.
Additionally, Forrest has tried to make sure whatever information he hands out, be it a hint or clue or simple guidance, is available to everyone, not just the person who receives the email. I know Dal, I was kidding about Forrest getting back to me with the thumbs up! IMO he designed the chase so that a person would require many iterations of field BOTG and interpretations of the poem. However, the realization of a wrong solve is an answered question! In this interpretation, ending the quest would incorporate both of those terrain types. The one thing in a a river bottom F likes to fish them, and the TC would be underwater and I believe f said, not a quote not underwater and it is just wet.
So not in a stream, but near one. Yep, it is most certainly something FF would be able to recognize, like a trail or stream and know they were feet from the chest. It seems if they told them of a stream then perhaps the TC is not on the stream but somewhere there is a view of the stream or surrounding area including the stream. If they told him of a trail that was feet from the stream then yes perhaps on the stream or still somewhere with a view. Stream, creek, river, or view or my guesses.
I found the chest! Well, in my dreams, anyways. Last night, I was awakened, more startled awake really, about 8 minutes before my alarm goes off 4: I needed a laugh today and you certainly provided that for me. Take care and stay safe out there. Leave the Oxy at home when you search though. Steamboat geyser in Norris is erupting after dormant for almost 4 years. It has an interesting history. Reaching up to feet. Also a few new vents apparently too.
Its just a few drive hours from home. I need a good belt of Irish whiskey to steady the fear and fight of the Banshee taking away the Leprechaun and the pot of gold. I have some 4 leaf clovers. It helps in keeping that pesky Banshee away, need more! CharlieM— I know where you can find some leprechauns and a turnip farmer.
Would either of those help calm your fears? The geography and a good map will assist one to be safe. Keep in mind when FF mentiond the above. I believe it will. What becomes of this website should someone recover indulgence this summer? Will you shut it down? Shift the focus to something new? Seems a shame that the community you have built here might be lost….
Perhaps vintage Morgans in a modest iron and wood container?? And after that, for third place, I would volunteer to sculpt a tasteful bronze of the Fenn himself …. Leaning upon his staff with an impish smile, one foot resting upon the legendary chest! All in agreement raise your frosty mugs and say Aye!! That is a good idea. To leave something in place of the chest. I have thought about the idea before and would bring something with me.
Not sure if it would have much value as I am not wealthy. I might leave something anyways where I plan to go in the end of Summer just to see if anyone would find it there at the same spot. It would be interesting to do. I would probably leave a note. I hope the blog stays for a while, it is a good one. Even a geo-cache would be better than nothing…. I, for one, will opt to hide a hoard of silver in its place…. It will be hard to keep the spot a secret after it is found imo.
Too many interested observers will want to know the solve and ff will probably want to revisit the spot too. It is a beautiful area. I am open to the idea of continuing the Chase in some way IF I find it, BUT before doing so I would carefully consider the legalities and tax implications. Of course that would be after the decision is made whether to remain anonymous or not.
Unfortunate scenario to consider: The question is how it would make you feel personally? I wonder if Mr. Fenn would be agreeable to a foundation to formed in his name? Dedicated to introducing underprivileged children to the wonders of nature and a love for the outdoors….. Perhaps sponsoring other treasure hunts in other parts of the country?
I have been having a similar thought. She had the biggest smile and happiest face of anyone I have evr crossed paths with. And it seeme she had spent her young life strapped to a wheel chair. I kept wondering how many teens have never seen the kind of wonderful sights I had just left behind, where you have to get off the beaten path. When I was a child the woods and fields were our playground…..
So many children today seem completely unaquainted with the natural world …. They grow up in dark basements staring at dimly lit screens…. Thank you for reminding me that we should always be thankful for what we have Meadowlark…. There are so many who have so much less….
