Mystery Saturday

We spent Saturday finding a few mystery boxes, so we can't say too much about our day. Except... we finally finished the Around the World in 80 Days series! Hurray! We loved this series and highly recommend it to all. :-) Also, it was our first experience 'boxing in a downpour. We were surprised to find that we weren't soaked by the end of the day; the park had enough trees that we ended up just a little damp. Thank goodness!

Our big adventure of the day actually had nothing to do with letterboxing. When we came back to the parking lot after many hours of hiking, J spotted a furry white puffball in the crook of a tree. It was a tiny little kitten, much too small to be out on its own, wet and shivering. It started purring as soon as J picked him up (B couldn't because he is horribly allergic to cats). We asked at a house across the street, but it wasn't theirs or their neighbors. We think somebody just dumped him in the parking lot. After a long process involving calling vets, 911 by mistake, and a drive into town (which the poor little kitten did NOT like) we ended up at the Humane Society, where we left him. We hope he will find his way into a new home very soon.
