When CDQ and I were there, it wasn't the roots causing problems. It was the teenagers who were off hiding in the woods smoking illegal substances. The smell is a dead give-away, even in the great outdoors. Quite an educational experience for my innocent teen-age daughter.

It's only been 40 degrees both times we went and school days, so no "illegal substances". My neice did poo in the woods though.

In twenty years I fully expect the Wolf cubs to be heavily subsidizing some therapist's vacation home. ;-)
Of course, my kids will be too...

LOL!
Well, since there are days that they are about driving me to a therapist, I'd say it's only fair that I get to do that same to them. ;) Hmmm...I can't seem to find that in any of the parenting handbooks, though...

Two different Latta Plantation trails:
The hilly, windy, root trail is the Prairie Trail (I think that's the name) out to Hedwig-- no teenagers there.
The "popular" trails (flat and fairly clear) are the one out to Noah's arc and the trails with Errol and Pigwidgeon (which has been carved and will be replaced in the next couple of weeks).

It was the trail to Errol that we had the encounter on. Pigwidgeon was missing at the time, and we didn't attempt Hedwig that day. Errol was also the one that we encountered the spider in the well (which CDQ swore was straight out of Harry Potter and intended to have her for dinner).
We keep trying to get back to Latta to get the boxes we missed (or that were missing) and the new ones. Maybe this weekend...

Not this weekend! You may want to wait until I get up there. I'm waiting on a VERY SPECIAL box to come in the mail. Oh, you won't want to miss it! Then I'll replace Pigwidgeon while I'm up there planting that one.

Well, if there is a VERY SPECIAL box AND pigwidgeon going in, I guess our "swearing off"days are over.

GIve me a heads up when Pidwidgeon is replaced. We'll go back out to Latta then.

I'll announce it on the boards especially since I may change the clue.

Oh fine! I'll just wait. And I hope you are happy, since you have probably now relegated me to a weekend of actually cleaning my house! Any volunteers?
Hope

I thought that was what CDQ and Bith were for...
But don't be too hasty, there are plenty of other boxes before you have to result to something like that, like the 12 in Reedy Creek park which is where this thread started at...
