Being one of the world's most famous dinosaurs can have its down side. Sure, it's nice to be loved by millions of kids, but sometimes you just want to get out of the public eye and find a place to relax. Our big purple friend (who shall remain nameless) was fortunate enought to find just such a place.

While on a publicity tour in Rochester, Michigan our purple friend (who most of you would probably recognize) overheard the locals referring to a nearby Nature Preserve with Hill that sounded like it could be just the place for a creature like him to get away from it all. Slipping away from the crowd, he found his way to the parking lot of the preserve. He located the trail to the appropriately-named hill and began to climb. As he reached the top of the hill he noticed the number 7 carved in stone and thought to himself "this will never do; the view is nice, but it's too close to these houses to succesfully hide". He continued along the trail past multi-trunked trees and the number 8 on his left, until he came to a sharp bend in the trail to his left. Checking a nearby map, he continued along the path and down the hill. He passed number 2 on his right and a large boulder on his left. Still staying on the path, past number 9 he came to a river as his trail bent to the left. He followed the path with the river at his right until he came to a bridge.

Crossing the bridge,our purple friend continued on the path directly in front of him, veering only slightly to the left. Eventually this path ended at another path. He decided to go to the right at this point, and continued along this new path until he reached number 17 on his left. "This is too close to this second bridge" he thought, and backed up along the trail about ten steps til he came to a less noticable trail on the right. He took this smaller trail, passing a large flat stump on his right until he came upon the river once again. Once more he took the path to the left along the river noticing a tree that had fallen across the river. About 15 steps past this tree he came to a second fallen tree that also crossed the river. As he stood at the root end of this tree, he noticed it seemed to point to a large dead double trunked tree about ten feet off the trail, one side broken off about 20 feet up. Ducking behind this tree, he decided this would be a good place to hide out for a while, so he covered himself up with a blanket of bark and settled in for some well-deserved time alone.
