Our letterboxing crew (SHH, Triple T, Cowgirl, HkrTrkr, T-for-Turtle & Nep Enot) will be embarking upon the Biggest Field Trip Ever starting May 8... just a mere 77 days away! We are one step closer in the planning, as we have made all the accommodation arrangements. It's a tight schedule, so we will not be able to do much boxing, but I think we will be able to squeeze in some exchanges!

I have listed out our itinerary on myspace... are you near anywhere we are staying? If so, contact me and we will arrange for an exchange!

That's not a field trip - it's a tour! Wow, you guys are energetic! Sorry I'm not on the route but have a super time. By the way, your link is missing the .com

Tyra, M7

Its an interesting route... I'd love to know the particulars as to why you chose certain places. Some are more obvious than others... but knowing the trip is education based... ; )

You really need to swing farther north after Illinois, especially because May 31st is the Great Lakes Gathering just east of St. Paul at Afton State Park: http://www.atlasquest.com/events/event.html?gEventId=627

Last year in Ohio it drew over 150 boxers.

You wouldn't wanna miss that, wouldja? 'Specially since you'll be SO close..... :D

Are you kidding?? Yes!

Awesome! I am very much looking forward to being in Tennessee... one of my favorite states.

Triple T is our navigator, and she can tell you all the specifics - I'll let her know that you are willing to meet with us, and she will contact you!

woohoo!

So Triple T is the one to bribe...hmmm....

Just kidding! The Twin Cities area is a bit out of the way.

We live geographically in the center of the state, but 4 little piggies and I are planning to make the drive to visit with you for a bit. Maybe do an exchange, a PT or 2, and what ever you got. We will show up loaded. ...Uh, with stamps, that is. I am really looking forward to this. I have some room in my truck, maybe we can talk a couple of other Tennessee boxers into riding up with us.

Oh, good! You will love it! It was one of my whole family's favorite stops on our big trip last summer. My husband even talks about how much he enjoyed it. 8-)

Oh, good! You will love it!

Yes, I am such a big fan, it was definitely on the 'must visit' list.

And, my dear Booknut, you are on our list for Friday, the 23rd, at Stone Mtn, right? We are hangin' out, boxin', etc.??

:-)

Lucky! You are gonna love meeting mstrwndl and 4 Little Piggies. They are great peeps! Just don't let 4 Little Piggies try to solve a personal traveler where he has to ask you questions to figure it out. You might be there all day! lol
