Slim’s Saddlebags
BOX IS NOT AVAILABLE AS OF APRIL 2010
This series of mini-letterboxes could total four to five miles, depending on how you choose to round ‘em up. Fill your canteen before you head out, pardner.
To find this letterbox, you’ll first have to unravel the yarn that began with the mystery of Chicago Slim. His adventures are told in the story, “Whose Shoes,” (Western version).
When we left Chicago Slim he was resting. He discovered that he’d dropped his hat along the trail somewhere and he thought he really ought to get up and take a look around. That old Stetson had been with him for years. When he looked around he knew something else was wrong. Slim was all alone!
He called for Firecracker, his faithful steed
“Firecracker!” he called again. There was not even the snap of a nearby twig. The only sound he heard was the gentle breeze in the nearby pines. Firecracker was gone. And that wasn’t all. Since he’d not unsaddled the horse, or taken off his bedroll or the saddlebags, he was left with nothing.
Now what was he going to do?
Your job is to help Chicago Slim find his belongings.
You’ll start where Slim came to rest.
Giddyup.
Firecracker drifted off to the north -- maybe a hundred yards.
You too, and you’ll see some accounting of the territory.
Take a look, if you’re interested.
Keep on walking north and step down to the two-track.
Now left, past 9+8 & 9+9.
Look for Ken.
He’ll tell you that you’re headed right.
Firecracker imagined he could hear Slim’s terrible singing, “Give me land, lots of land, dum de dum de dum, don’t fence me in”.
Oh my. Don’t even go there.
Two beeches stand on your left; one is a Y
Stand between them and look to 160 degrees to a smaller beech 8 steps uphill.
Firecracker dropped the Saddlebags on the uphill side of the smaller beech by the roots.
See? That was easy.
But Firecracker wandered off unaware that the Saddle was coming loose.
