Went boxing today too! Got 1 of the 2 we had hoped to find. Not as cold here, 45 degrees, but still not too many people out and about.

Happy new year!

Southpaw and I did a chilly (25 degrees F) but very nice 2.5-mile hike to find some new boxes today. Our area is supposed to have a snowstorm tomorrow through Friday, so when I saw the clues to these boxes pop up this morning, I called Southpaw and said that we'd better head out before they're buried under a foot of snow!! Thanks for planting them, ThimbeLinda and TallDave!! :^)

Even funnier as we were doing the same with one of the boxes the both of you had hidden in the same spirit, before the snow flies. We're carving away, and our snow series for this year should be ready soon!! Perhaps a chance to try out our new snowshoes!!!

I also decided to start my New Year off with some boxing; found 2 of 4 and introduced a friend to letterboxing--these were his first finds! (And we even carved his Doctor Who Gallifreyan signature stamp before we set out; how's that for crazy!)

Dave, it was pretty funny that we unknowingly went after each other's boxes at the same time! :^)

I forgot to ask: will it be in the same place as last year's snow series? You know, the one where Southpaw and I had a bald eagle fly over our heads? :^)

That is the game plan. Perhaps we'll get a chance to break in our snowshoes tomorrow or the day after (feeling ambitious in my carving in between shoveling tonight) . :)
