There was a time in my letterboxing "career" when I would have set out within a day or at most, a weekend of a new box being planted in my area. Boy have times changed. Now my letterboxing habit takes a very back seat to many other things. But since I was having a sad day realizing that my kids are growing up way too fast, my (no longer a) baby decided to take pity on me and he agreed to hike with me in my favorite local park.
More than a year ago, I was along on the plant for
hop along home but it seemed that I was not an official finder until I found it on my own. Which I did today.
Then Hot Lava and I scaled some rocks including a case of rock stairs.
Yikes!...
Oh Fudge! A
fawn must've been resting nearby because it jumped right out in front of me and made me scream. A few moments later I screamed again when I lifted the SPOR to find the box and a
snake slithered over the box. I was jumpy all the rest of the hike.
We had a little trouble finding the protruding "goggly eyes." It is funny to me how many trees I can construe into "protruding googly eyes" and how many of such trees have corresponding V trees with kick stands! HA! We did persevere and were rewarded with a
beautiful delft tile!
It was a super day after all!
