The Gatekeeper

How well do you know your boxers? Letterboxers, that is! (Hope you have read the profiles). The Gatekeeper wanders the woods protecting the magical folk. Choose the correct answer and you shall find him. When you come to a choice, answer the question. The right answers will lead the way. Start at the playground at the park entrance!

1. Who is really just happy to see you?
A. Glad2meetya *stony bridge, play a game
B. JustHappy2Cya *stony bridge, carve your name

2. Unstructured Visions
A. Wild Dreams *Left towards 21, 22, and 23
B. Dreamgirlz *Right towards the wooden bridges

3. Which poultry friend’s favorite time begins shortly after the Ides of March and ends
about 6 days after the day that honors our country’s flag?
A. Springchick *40 degrees up
B. ChickenLickin *320 degrees, wrong way.

4. A small round celestial one glows in the dark. Sometimes binging, sometimes dieting. Monthly showing the full butt.
A. Littlmoon *Site #10 and up the paved road
B. Stargirl *Site #10 and go back behind on the trail

5. She carved me an eye, Cyclops! Just don’t eat little Fido. It’s romance between us!
A. Unabrow Bob *One way. Flat, paved, and straight
B. Doglvrs *Gravel camp. ½ around the circle. Dirty down

6. Backwoods animal loving Queen of England
A. Redneck Woman *Straight to your fate.
B. Critter Liz *Play ball! To gate?

7. Band of Irish
A. Welsh Women *M-21 Turkey, right
B. Celtic Clan *Black and scary (usually, but not this one), Left

8. “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I…I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” (Or perhaps you should make a new one, my middle aged friend. After all, it is your land.)
A. Hackaway Jack *300 degrees for a picnic at the creek
B. Midlandtrailblazer *180 degrees, brown seats by a Bear trail

9. Cool hat, man!
A. CapOnTop *3 trees at the bottom of the bear hill. 60 degrees brushy up.
B. Derby Dude *3 trees at the bottom of the bear hill. 240 degrees at 10 pace

*At this point you should see a small grassy hill that is flat on top. It is on top of the ridge and not very large. It is also near a letterbox carved by boxers that are happy to see you). If you are here, you’re in the right place! Go stand on that flat hill. You will see two kinds of pines at about 300 degrees, and you should be blazing your trail in between these pines. Go slightly down as you work your way through. There is no trail here. Just remember to walk BETWEEN the two kinds of pine trees and watch the sides of the pines for your next clue. Answer the next two questions


10. Two medieval, serpentine monsters
A. Double Dragon *Triangular rocks you see at 220 degrees
B. Godzilla’s Duet *300 degrees. Keep going 20 paces.

11. Bookworm Girl, Dragon Boy, Hotwheels Boy, and Princess Pickle. Who do they belong to?
B. Vlasic Pickle *100 degrees. Right Turn. 40 steps
C. Familyof6 *260 degrees to one that doesn’t play the game.
Then go 25 steps back.

*If you answered correctly, then you have found The Gatekeeper. He wanders endlessly, burning the candle at both ends to keep those human folk away. Did you make a mess? **Check your boxers!** If you have found The Gatekeeper, then you will also have found a secret to the Fairies of the Forest Hitchhiker Hostel. Something awaits for you inside!
