I second the thanks and kudos!!

This trio, claiming little knowledge of planning or attending events, hit this one out of the park!
You took every effort to share your beautiful island with us, down to bound maps and clues. I am forever spoiled.

I am not sure why so many Buckeyes drive to Hilton Head; a little piece of island paradise is only a couple of hours away.

Hear! Hear!
Thank you, KI Dawg, for a wonderful event. The island is beautiful and the clues were perfectly done. Sis and I only missed out on the North Pond handful. The glacial grooves were awesome! We enjoyed the swallows nesting at inscription rock.

So wishing we could have made this one! Car repairs derailed our budget...sigh! Hoping hoping hoping this will be something annual or every other year? We'd love to get back to the island! Glad all went well!

Wondered what kept you from Cinci planting...heat or malls closed due to heat?

We are dying to get to Parkersburg for your plants there and also Marietta...but finding a cool day is the trick!!

This was my first visit to Marblehead and Kelleys Island. I LOVED it. Such a neat area.

Cookie Cutter and I spent Saturday getting the boxes in the Marblehead area and then Sunday on Kelleys Island.

Yes, Granny, there's a bit of sunburn...although I wouldn't know how that happened...hehe. Mine has tanned up already. Cookie Cutter may be feeling it a bit today though. It was too pretty and too nice out to drive around sight seeing and letterboxing with a top on.

Thanks so much to all those that inspired and assisted with the event. KI Dawg is a wonderful hostess - the perfect location, a wonderful setup, organized and easy to follow clue information, and a delicious feast prepared. Awesome job KI Dawg!! Thank you so so much. It was such a treat.

I will definitely be heading back to Kelleys Island for a vacation / long weekend. Loved it!

It was great meeting some boxers I hadn't crossed paths with before and always a treat to meet up with the ones that I do know.

The event was wonderful!!!! We got to see the entire Island while letterboxing. If you haven't visited Kelley's Island - it's a don't miss letterboxing adventure!

Island Hopper letterbox - If you visited this letterbox, check your letterboxing supplies. Someone accidently took the logbook and stamp - in it's place is a hitchhiker and logbook.

Want to voice our THANKS too!! This was the first event we have attended and what a great one to start with. Can't think of anything better to do than spend a great summer day on an island finding incredible boxes, meeting interesting people and eating great food. Thanks for all your hard work guys!

I am chipping in a bit late, but I concur with all the previous comments...what a fabulous event KI Dawg, Miss Kiddie, and Brown Wolf provided for us. It was definitely worth the trip from Michigan. I will have to add that Ohio letterboxers are the bomb! So many made me feel welcome and at home.

Kelleys Island was a wonderful place to enjoy the day letterboxing and sightseeing.

Hello out there in OH!

*waving!*

I just wanted to share a thank you with everyone out there. I got some of the nicest comments on my stamps - so glad I could share them with you!

KI Dawg is just a doll, and she was so excited about having you all there, and it sounds like the whole day was just wonderful.

Wish I had more time/money to travel so I could go to more of these events in person! If any of you have pictures, I would love to see them!

Happy Howls from CO!
