It was a "Word of Mouth" box.. just had to ask for it after the presentation.
Are you familiar with Homer Lake? Presently the Interpretive Nature Center is being remodeled so we were able to meet at the Salt Fork Center which is a beautiful building many ppl rent for weddings and family groups.
If you do plan to be out this way near Homer Lake or St. Joseph, I can meet you with the box.

Thanks for posting this! I'm one of those dummies that thought, "Okay, Crown Hill Cemetery's open in the winter! So the letterboxes here are snow-friendly."
My apologies to folks I've annoyed and I'll be going through my boxes to label them with a bit more common sense. :)

Good morning Georgia!
A quick note to say THANK YOU for the Stone Mountain hospitality! We are home now, unpacked yet still have a smile on the face. This had to have been one of the most epic 4 days of boxing I’ve ever experienced. It had Everything from the scenery to the trails to the carves to the planters to the new friends we made. Ok we could have gone without the 23° weather but the upside to the freezing temps was no ticks or mosquitoes 🦟 and it proved there is still a lil bit of mettle left in these bones. To anyone who is even remotely interested in making the pilgrimage to Stone Mountain, just do it!

We love our Stone Mountain trips! And you are correct, great trails, beautiful views, and truly wonderful people. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Maybe next time we'll be able to head that way and join you. We are so overdue a trip.

Has anyone heard of the events where a dog or cat adopts a human, not the other way around? I keep seeing it on YouTube and it's so uplifting!! Most of the animals are rescues from bad homes or found in a bad situation. When they find their human, they all, pretty much, do the same thing... jump on laps and give big hugs ♡
I love the idea in general and would love to find out more info on who the companies are and where they hold the events ♡♡♡

…to Northern Shoveler. Yeah, I know snow is a good thing, but I’m sooo done with shoveling! I’m hoping this weekend’s storm won’t hit New England (or anywhere else) too hard.

I heartily approve of web-footed trail names. Not so much about the shoveling part. I get tired of that, too! I'm burrowing in for the weekend!!

I feel ya, I used to live in Taos. I know shoveling snow. I'm sure you were kidding, but if not Northern Shoveler is a clever name that would lend itself to a cute sig stamp.

Yes! Thank you to the GA contingent and especially T REX for four days of awesome boxing! It SOOOO reminded me of boxing in CT (minus the snow and ice where I would have to take a whammy bar to the snow and ice to unearth the boxes.....)! I can not WAIT to get back there for some more boxing! Currently working on Clue Tracker "backpacks" for my next trip!

If you’re into them, it looks they are all on Netflix. I didn’t Google for the whole list but it looks like it might be all of them.
I actually thought Goldfinger was the first but it’s the third. Dr No is the first. The old ones look like they might be fun to watch.

the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.
The even more horrifying thought I have is that while some are cowards, likely others are actually supportive of the Mad King.
