Mr. Potato Head has had a nervous break down. (Must be all the stress due to the current political climate.) He sought out professional help. In fact, he sought out a lot of it. Mr. Potato Head has tried it all... support groups, Spuds Anonymous, DBT groups, a low carb diet, psychotherapy, play therapy (he especially liked this one), exercising at fancy gyms, Solution Focused therapy, drumming workshops, Inner child work, journaling his little spud heart out, etc. In fact, Mr. Potato Head is tired of laying on couches and telling strangers why he hates his mother. (Ok, a little Freud joke.) Finally, Mr. Potato Head decided to just buck up and pull himself together again. He needs your help. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to Klineline park and help him put the pieces of his life (and his body), back together again. Mr. Potato Head has suppressed memories from being a small tot drowning in this pond. (Might be the root to all his troubles.)

You may want to bring colors for these stamps, if you have em. I have also tested with just black. It's not as nice, but it does turn out.

At the NW trail in the park (by the smaller pond and pavilion), walk past the pavilion and up the trail along the left side of the pond. At the fork, go left. On the left, right after the fork is a big tree. Look for the #1 Spud box. Make sure that you use a light color on this stamp as other stamps will go over it. A healthy body helps maintain your mental health and Mr. Potato Head is happy to have his back.

Continue down the trail to find the #2 Au Gratin box. Walk down the trail until you find a log across the trail. Look under the log for the box. Putting your nose to the grind stone and not letting important things pile up is important to keep stress levels even.

The #3 Scalloped box is under the next log over the trail. Feeding your mind as well as your body is essential. Mr. Potato Head has read a zillion self help books until he figured out that light and fun reading is good for him as well.

Straddle the next log over the trail. While sitting there, find the woodpecker's paradise. At the base of it is the #4 French Fried box. Mr. Potato Head's troubles and fears run deep and so can this box. Mr. Potato Head found out that keeping his hands busy helped him to forget about his troubles.

Sometimes Mr. Potato Head's at the end of his rope (or trail). Take the trail to the right and straddle another log (there's a lot of straddling in this series, eh?)While straddling the log, look in front of you to another log and stump. It's in there, #5 Baker box. Mr. Potato Head learned that if he put his feet in the right place, his mind would follow.

In therapy, and life, sometimes you have to back track in order to continue growing. Back track to the pond and take the other fork at the beginning. Go along side the pond, through a bushy part of the trail until you get to the other 'corner' of the pond where you will find a stump between the trail and the pond. #6 Mashed box is at the base of the stump. This lesson is about flipping your lid or getting angry. It hurts others but it hurts Mr. Potato Head more than those he got mad at.

The #7 Over 18 Special Tator Tot box is harder to find. First, you must be over 18 years old. Bring your ID. Second, you must have Mr. Potato Head back together again. Bring your book. Third, and this is the most difficult, you must ask me for the stamp. Sometimes, in life, one must speak directly and honestly in order to get their needs met. Mr. Potato Head is completed even without the #7 stamp.
