Boardwalk closed but was able to get the first at least. Great carve.

Found the first box but the boardwalk to go on was closed. Will definately be going back for the other two!

Found the first two. Didnt try too hard for the third. Between mosquitoes, trail closures, and pretty big changes in natural directions (ie. No read orange blazes anymore), we decided to get out of the woods :)

We'll try for the third another time.

Great carves! My kids were excited!

Spent the day in the Guelph Arboretum finding a few different series. As a Harry Potter fan, I loved the clues and the stamps! Didn't seem to have a problem with the poison ivy, but some of the landmarks for the third stamp seem to have changed. The wood chip trail doesn't really have chips on it, and a few more trees seem to have fallen down around the pond, making it quite hard to find the decaying boardwalk and to identify which fallen tree is the correct one.

Was unable to find for box #2 due to the density of poison ivy around the box's location. Couldn't even think of searching for #3 due to the high amount of mosquitoes and poor maintenance of the trail/boardwalk.

Having never read nor watched any of the Harry Potter books or movies, I needed a little help to get the answers. Encountered warning signs, flooded forests, tumbledown boardwalk and the eerie calls of fleeting wood ducks. Dark skies and short bursts of sleet/snow added an air of magic and mystery to the hunt. A great experience!

Great series and well carved. Enjoyed finding them.

Great series! To find the second one you should note that a pallet and a boardwalk are not the same thing.

Loved this series! Grew up reading Harry Potter and was delighted at the stamp designs. Great clues too, though we also had to think about Box #2 quite a bit before we found it..

Lots of poison ivy along the path so be very careful!

The log book is now full and will need to be replaced. Let us know if we can help. :)

Good stamps, nice series, best theme. So much poison ivy though!
