I went over there Friday, but we still didn't finish. That's saying something. It's only 500 pieces, and we are both good puzzlers. But the pieces are cut so that lots of times more than one piece would fit in a certain place, particularly the edge. On Friday, we had fewer than 50 pieces to put in, but I was out of time. I like challenging puzzles like this. Cathy- not so much.
I went over today, and we got it done. (And worked on another easier one Cathy had going on another table.)
This is more than just a random puzzle. For several years, the North Country Trail Association was commissioning artists to create things they could use on various items- like t-shirts, patches, stickers, etc. And this one was made into a puzzle. What does it have to do with the trail, you ask?
The inside edge of the butterfly wing is an approximate map of the trail.
Not seeing it? Here is the trail line.
I did some formatting for someone else, and then did 150 miles of campsites! I might do a bit more cleanup formatting on my book yet tonight.

What a cool puzzle that is. Especially after hearing that it's an approximate map of the trail
Good match!
Ann and Stew- Fun! And I had to wait a few years to be able to get one.
Chaplin: "A trail map puzzle! Very clever! If you need any help with puzzles in the future, just give us a call. And by 'help' of course I mean knocking pieces around the table and floor ..."
