GO SLOW

It was a dog-gone funny time to go out letterboxing. We proceed down this Dog Gone Dog Lane over speed bumps, it is the twistiest Dog–Gone Lane in Mansfield. We were indeed in need of some Dog-Gone good letterboxing weather - it had rained for a long time. We arrived at the Hope Lutheran Church on that Dog-Gone Dog Lane in Mansfield and parked at the rear. They kindly allow the Joshua’s folks to post their sign out front. There are two old metal posts and a brand new bridge that is Dog-Gone nice to cross the brook. Now as of spring 2003 the trail here is Dog-Gone new and only marked with some Dog-Gone flagging tape in orange. (Update 11 August, 2003, the tapes have mostly gone and have been replaced with Dog-Gone yellow painted slashes). Follow the Dog-Gone yellow blaze up a grade coming to a wall and an intersection with a trail that's the same dog gone yellow. Now that confuses the issue. Follow the wall, go straight. The yellow follows a Dog-Gone twisty path along the wall passing a Dog-Gone huge rock. Down the grade, where if your Dog is thirsty, a dog can drink here. Cross here and Dog-Gone it don’t get your feet wet unless you are a dog. Along a different wall now to the corner. You see a sign post. When you come to the corner take a reading of 90 degrees or so to a woodpecker tree at 5-6 paces. Here up and in is a Dog-Gone funny micro box. Please re-hide in the Dog-Gone same place so others can have this Dog-Gone experience for themselves.

Now the Dog-Gone choice - go back the way you came or follow the twisty yellow marked path in a lollipop loop that comes back at the campfire. And then back to the car. You have to watch the path and double blaze means a turn. It's a Dog-Gone nice walk for a little over an hour.

Before you set out, please read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer.
