Well, she went and did it. That sweet little girl of mine, Miss D'Lyla Pyrl, entered double digits. I cannot believe she is ten years old already. She has not had an easy road. There have been many health issues and times we thought she wasn't going to make it this far. She is a fighter and a trooper. The little legs do not go quite as fast or as far as they once did, but they still trudge along and some days she even runs and we can see the puppy in her. I am amazed by her.
This year the three pups boxes are going on the same theme, the things they like to chase/hunt for in the woods.
To find what Baby D just cannot help herself from hunting, follow the directions below.
From route 207 in Franklin, turn onto Holton Road. This is a dead end road across from a cemetary. Follow this road up to the split. Left is paved and right takes you on a gravel/dirt road. Go right. Follow this approximately 7/10 of a mile to another split. Again, go right, uphill, and park on the grass near the wooden building.
HUNTING IS ALLOWED (but not on Sundays), so be sure to wear blaze orange as well as putting it on your four legged companions. Also,they should remained leashed.
After parking, head out on the wide trail with the wooden building on your right. This is a white blazed trail, but they are not plentiful and are a bit faded in spots. The trail is very easy to follow though.
Pass a metal gate on your right that leads to a field. Keep going.
Pass an unmarked wide trail on the right. Keep going.
Wave hello to Reilly's Fifth and continue on.
Keep a close watch on the left hand side for where the white trail turns left and goes uphill with the blazes.
Follow it to the top and turn left with the trail.
You can see the river far below you.
Walk along until you come to a small clearing/ more open area. This is before you head downhill.
You should see a "woodpecker's delight" on your left here and what looks to be an unmarked trail.
Stop.
Turn around and go back ~30 steps. There should be a ten foot stump on your left here.
Now, go right, off trail ~25 steps to an "L" tree.
Look on the backside of this tree, in the roots, behind a rock to find out what Baby D loves to hunt for.
PLEASE re-hide as well or better than you found it so that others will be able to get the image also.
You can either retrace your steps to your car from here, explore the trails on your own or continue to find Doodles 7th Birthday box.
Thanks,
