I'm so sorry to hear that. I never met her in person, but she used to regularly participate in my Survivor pools.

Yes, her granddaughter couldn't pronounce unicorn when Ann started boxing so Ann used the word that her granddaughter said instead. :-)

Many of you will remember when my friend, Munchkin, and I drove out to north carolina to bring Baby Goofy/ Abby Cadabby out to meet you all when the snow chased us across the US.
Munchkin developed an infection in her body that went septic and we lost her early Monday morning. We have been friends for 39 years, we met at the age of 9. This is a loss that is hitting very hard in our families.

Thank you, Gg/Dana

I dont know how to do a tribute page to her but I will get her obituary when I can.

Yes that was the first thing her dad talked about when I went to the house. He was telling his daugther in law, this Dana and she took Rachel to hell and back...
NEW NC EVENT LISTED! And I'm pretty excited about it...

Hey yall!!! So, I've been stewing for a long time and I'm finally pulling the trigger. I'm planning my first event! Years and years worth of fun ideas are all swirling in my head and the theme is AGRICULTURE! Think farming, homesteading, and of course farmers markets!

We will have all the standard goodies such as a nice event stamp, tabletop boxes, temporary "day-of" boxes, additional permanent plants, LTC swap.... BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.... how about a big nice raffle, a SEED/PLANT swap, and more surprises to be announced. I can't let all my secrets out at once, can I? Nope!

Here's the Cleveland's Farmers Market event page

Here's the Stamp Donation Tracker

We still have a year to go, but I hope to see you all there!

Signed up and hope I can go! The event falls on my 17th letterboxing anniversary.

So, I've been stewing for a long time and I'm finally pulling the trigger. I'm planning my first event!

That's where I am at, too. I have hosted a couple of mini meets and helped with a few events in NC and maybe up here in MI. However, the urge to host one has been strong lately.

I don't know if this is in bad taste or not, but I made an Amazon wishlist for some items I'd like to have for our raffle.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/32364YFB4JO0E?ref_=wl_share

If you'd like to donate any of these, you can purchase off of the list and send it as a gift to my address. And IF YOU DO, write us a little note with your trailname on the gift note and I'll present it as "donated by ___".

Thank you all so much! I'm already supercharged by all of the stamp donation offers too!

Hello everyone,

I made my way back to Atlasquest and am looking for some new adventures in Letterboxing! I recognize a few names here and know I met some of you long ago at a few events. I stumbled upon an email from TheWolfFamily while trying to locate my login info...who hosted us many years ago in Charlotte (and even picked us up from the train station!)

The Beasts are grown up and the Little Beast just turned 17 a few days ago. I camp a lot with my Fiancee and am excited to introduce him to Letterboxing as something fun to do on our adventures.

So, I thought I'd say hello. See you around the boards and perhaps at an event in the future!

Yours is one of the trail names I recognize! Airstream Dreams too. I am near Raleigh. Fuquay-Varina. I wish my logbooks didn’t get lost in the move to my current home, but sadly I cannot find them. I’m sure I have exchanged stamps with several of you long ago.
