Happy Pawlidays

09/06/2006 Happy Pawlidays has been confirmed missing - a victim of the flood of June of 2006.

Warning: 07/04/2006 the trail to Happy Pawlidays has now been closed, hopefully temporarily. Keep checking back for updates.

After finding the Laura’s Childhood Luvs – Candyland box, take a drive down the little road which meanders through the playing fields at the Trout Run Sports Complex. Park in the grassy field which houses an old burnt out black car. Head towards the river, following the path around to the right. Stay on the Exeter River Trail until you reach the underpass. Continue along the path by the river for another .1 of a mile until you reach the first bench on the right side of the trail. Behind the bench is a rotted stump about six feet tall. Look in the stump for Barney’s first planted box. Some of you may recognize the stamp as the seasonal stamp that Team Little Dog has used the past two Christmas holidays. It is now a find! While you are in the area, be sure to look for the Exeter Scenic Trail Rocks letterbox.

This is a picture of the trail taken on June 28, 2006 during the flood of 2006. The river which is usually below 13 feet was at 22.9 feet on that day.
