C.E.S. - W3 History

(~*~)Hello,
   This project originally started in Brantford, Ontario back in 1999.  It started when friends would gather to play a board game called Hitchiker  - by Scott Hamilton. It is now available in 2 versions, the original and the 2012 release. It was a gift from a friend, just before my champagne birthday. I'll never forget it! Thank you (you know who you are).
   As we played we eventually created/ discovered how we may alter certain aspects, and began practicing our own version. This launched my game-in-the-making into the creative process! As this also expanded into additions, stories, and character design discussions; it also grew a name of it's own. Many aspects have continued changing/ expanding since, and the need for 2 versions became a reality.

   Despite this project being put on hold many times over the years, there is much information (still on paper, or in files) to be shared! Persistence and time management are important keys, and persistence is part of my drive. Hoping to have them both within my grasp as often as lately for much longer. As much needs to get done, and this is a time that I could definitely use 4 of me - my disclaimer: They must all be at least as intelligent as me when I was 35 years old (092314716AMishC.E.S.).
   When I started it online as one of my BIG 2 projects/ "business initiatives", it was well on it's way to becoming ready for the process of sharing and growing into reality. I shared it  on Facebook to be temporary, until the site is up and ready, so I have learned to also not share everything over there.
NOTE:
This project is now (Sept.23/14) on hold once again, as I get other needed organizations done. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Until next time...
Take care & Safe travels!

  Attempted a different location every week. 
   Week 1: 
  Laurentian Wetlands: Took the bus over, got off at the little bridge and made my way in from the 
  side of the bridge. I did not go far in, as much of the land is a wet. I did find a great little spot to test 
  my camera's timer, and ended up with a great Skullian pic too! Yup, this has been a great discovery
  week for me; so I will return another day! (^&^) Incomplete.
  Week 2: 
  Woodland: This is a large cemetery as seen on the map at the entrance. I started on the R side and 
  worked towards the back. Did sections J, A, F, L, Q, V, S, N, & M. This is only most of the R side.
  This one will be continued next year. Incomplete.
  Week 3: 
  St. Peter's Lutheran: This is located on Weber St., beside the First Mennonite cemetery
