The Not-So-Elusive Alpha Male

Ned was clean and dry and ready to head so we headed back over to his Aunt Ruth's favorite area. This time I brought reinforcements (gloves and spade). 

Again I followed the clues and again they brought me to the same scene. I dug until I found a few suspicious rocks and what-do-you-know, there was the Alpha Male in all of his glory! 

He was also wet and dirty so I invited him over for some R&R. He was anxious to get back on the road so he headed back out the very next day. 

I am thrilled to have met Ned, especially after all this time. What made it even better is meeting him in Cape Cod in the fall. It's sublime. Just ask Ned, Nancy, and Aunt Ruth!

Meet Up with Ned

 

The meeting almost didn’t happen. The Alpha Male was elusive. But we persevered and found him having Midadventures with Nancy. 

Some care was needed so I invited Ned to come over for some R&R. I will drop him back off in a few days once he’s clean, dry, and buttoned up ready for some more misadventure. I also plan to return with reinforcements to look for that alpha male.

The mystery continues…

Shootflying Hill

 

Bill-lay and I wanted a quick outing and decided to check out this friendly hike where we looked for a fox, a whale, dolphin, and shark, and a friendly contest over baked goods. 

It was a blustery day but the sun was smiling on us. We enjoyed all of our finds, but came up short on the shark. But overall it was a great little walk in the off season.

X Marks the Spot

 Hot Lava and I got out and looked for the X that marked the spots. Lots of social distancing going on. But nice to be out and about on this beautiful day.

Hay There!

We didn't have to go far to find the Hay Boat at Salt Pond Visitors Center but we decided to adventure further anyway.

It was a misty and foggy morning.  It was a beautiful walk and we enjoyed meeting up with a little bunny along our way.

Remembering

This was the perfect walk on a beautiful Cape day with Cubed, Hot Lava, and Joe Money! I read the comments from challenged "In Memory of" finders. After some deep searching, we found it.

It's in great condition but the logs which it was under have rotted. We moved it just a little bit under two small fallen limbs between two standing live oaks that are beyond the large pine referenced in the clues. 

It's such a great carve, we don't want it to be impossible for others to enjoy it as well.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH! 'Nuff said!
