Description

Boneyard Boxing returns again for our 5th year!!! This year, we will be touring the Eastern half of Niagara County. :-)

This will be set up as a driving tour of cemeteries in the area. Some of these cemeteries are right next to houses, and tucked in little residential areas where you wouldn't figure to see a cemetery. It helps to carry a camera, or some paper for tombstone rubbings. If you're approached by muggles, just say you're on a "Niagara County Cemetery" tour.

Our plan is to have the clues up and live by Thursday afternoon/evening. The event stamp and meet'n'greet portion will be at the Lockport Panera. We are requesting no extra event boxes, beyond the main event stamp.

More info will be posted as the event approaches, but I wanted to get the date on everybody's radar. If you're interested in carving a stamp or two for this event, AQmail BfloAnonChick for more information about what we're looking for.

After doing this event for the last 4 years, we're really starting to get into the groove, so come check it out! We always have fun! Can't wait to see everyone again! :-)

Sep 28, 2015: September 28 Update!!
Hello all! The stamps are all carved, and are in the process of being planted.

Clues will be posted by noon on Friday, to allow you time to print them.

The "event" portion will take place at the Lockport Panera on S. Transit, from 6-8 p.m. You'll be able to get exchanges, share personal travelers, and get the event stamp from me at that time. (For any of you who haven't met me, I'm pretty easy to spot, as I have blue hair.) :-)

The event route will be written to begin and end at this Panera, so you should have no trouble finding it.

Questions? Please AQmail me.

Looking forward to Saturday!

Oct 2, 2015: Clues & Map!!
All 44 boxes are planted, the clues are ready, and the map is available!!

Clues can be accessed here:
http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?boxId=260540
Please note: Clues are only visible to event attendees until after Saturday.

Map is here:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zyURdy7NCroA.klNMbXl7DWb8&usp=sharing

Map notes:
- Blue and green pins show cemetery locations on our route.
- Green pins are also stops on Sprite & Highlander's 2009 Hallowed Grounds tour, if you don't have those yet. Some are still there, but we didn't get a chance to check them all.
- Yellow pin indicates a cemetery that is posted against trespassing, and we will not be entering. Its' stamp is hidden elsewhere. It was also a stop on the 2009 tour. It is up to you whether you choose to seek it; it is listed as a strikeout.
- Red pin is the restaurant where we will be between 6 and 8 pm on Saturday with the event stamp.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND using either a GPS map or a very complete county map while seeking these. There are a lot of unmarked intersections. (It's like the county doesn't believe in street signs!) Google Maps was our friend while creating the tour - it can be your friend too!

We know there are a lot of stamps, and we are perfectly cool with you starting today. Stamps are now fair game, as of this post. However, PLEASE, whether you go out early, or the day of the event, PLEASE be stealthy and rehide well, so that these stamps can stay in place for as long as possible.

If you have questions, AQmail me. Otherwise, I'll see you all tomorrow!
