Salem Tour Stop #5

Here in Salem we are very lucky to have the world’s largest diamond.   It was unearthed near Gallow’s Hill in the late 2000’s and has been kept in its natural state.  It is said to be cursed and some people think they can see a witch in it.   It is currently on display in front of the Salem Witch Museum across the street from the Salem Common, which is the birthplace of the national guard and Bucky, a grotesquely large-toothed squirrel.  I’ve often seen Bucky near the gazebo, but he is sometimes by the playground, too.  Another time I saw him right by the gate near the Hawthorn Hotel, but he ranges as far as the northeast corner.  I don’t see Bucky if it is dark out, or really windy.  I’ve often chased Bucky when I have seen him, like this one time when he was by the playground where he hangs out sometimes.  I usually chase him if he is by the Mall street entrance, too.   I definitely chase him if he sitting on the stumps on the south side of the common opposite the parking lot in back of the Hawthorn Hotel.  I think the Hawthorn Hotel smells good.  I’m not sure which tree Bucky lives in but I saw him once in a tree near the bench that is close to the trees on the side by the Salem Witch Museum, home of the world’s largest diamond.
