Meeting the Pepes

Description

Mark and Sue Pepe are heading to SoCal for fun and adventure! They'll be in the Carlsbad area from April 26 until May 3. They'd love to go boxing with the "locals" while they're here (not just May 2), so AQ mail them and let the fun begin!

Thanks for all your feedback. Based on that, here's the plan: We'll do a mini-meet in the morning from 10-12n at Starbucks (7130 Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad. Take the Poinsettia exit off I-5, head west). The letterboxes in this area are very spread out so I chose a meet-up spot close to the freeway. We can box all afternoon, then, in the evening, we can get together at the Souplantation (1860 Marron Rd Carlsbad) at 5pm.

You're welcome to post event boxes, and definitely encouraged to plant boxes in the area.

Apr 6, 2015: I need a little info from you, please.
I'm so happy there's great interest in meeting the Pepes!
The location I chose for the morning meet and greet isn't very large and may not accomodate our group, so...what I need to know is:
Are you planning to come to the morning meet and greet (currently at Starbucks)?
Are you planning to come to the evening meet and greet at Souplantation? (keep your eyes out for coupons)

Thanks for your reply, in advance. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
Happy Trails!

Apr 19, 2015: Info from the Pepes
Here's some info the Pepes would like you to know:

1) "I wish you'd let everyone know that because of packing limitations, we probably won't be bringing our travelers, but might bring some other goodies!"

2)"We might have to leave the (evening) event a
bit early as we have to be at the airport by 6am on Sunday and I think it's about a 30 to 45 minute drive" In other words, if you want to meet the Pepes in the evening, best not arrive at 7pm. They'll have to head to their hotel then.

I will probably change the event morning venue but I am waiting for the 10-day forecast. I'd like to move it to the picnic tables on the North Ponto end of the campground on coast highway in Carlsbad. It'd be lovely if the weather cooperates. Will post as soon as possible. It's about a mile from the Starbucks, so not way out of the way.

Apr 27, 2015: No change to May 2 morning venue
It looks like the original plan, meeting at the Starbucks off Poinsettia Ave, will be better than my plan B. There are tables with umbrellas at Starbucks and tables that can be pushed together. The campground tables are not covered and, while right now there's only a 10% chance of rain according to Weather Channel, I don't want to chance having to move at the last minute due to weather. So, if you're coming in the morning, see you at Starbucks from 10-noon, Saturday May 2.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few days!!

May 1, 2015: Cardiff kook box
Cardiff kook status is now unavailable. New hidey spot not good and there's nowhere nearby where a person can be stealthy finding the box. Helped someone find the box today and there were so many people around I couldn't put it back I will have the box at the event tomorrow. Will decide soon where or whether to replant it. Don't want it to go missing again.
