 <\/span>So I wrote his name further up on a nice smooth surface of the beach and  put a Samstone there and then Maggie snapped a photo of Sam, with me in the  background. <span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span>We sat on the beach for a  bit and a little girl spotted the Samstone and she picked it up and examined it  carefully, but then tossed it back down on the sand, darn.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>So then Maggie decided that she would  re-write his name in another spot on the beach and entice a bird over with a  cherry in the hopes the bird would pick up the cherry and the Samstone and take  him to places unknown.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>Well, as you can  see from the photo, the bird snatched up the cherry, but left the Samstone.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>So as we left the beach around noon, Sam was  still sitting on the beach and just waiting to be discovered by someone visiting  this beautiful beach in Chesterton, Indiana.<\/font><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/samstones.org\/WordPress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/100_1173.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"100_1173.JPG\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/samstones.org\/WordPress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/100_1172.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"100_1172.JPG\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/samstones.org\/WordPress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/100_1171.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"100_1171.JPG\" \/> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our freind Cheryl writes: &nbsp;My friend Maggie and I took a Samstone to the Indiana Dunes State Park&nbsp;on July 25, 2011.&nbsp;
