even papa wolf cannot control mamma wolf

No, but he can subdue her momentarily by quoting Monty Python at her. ;-)

by quoting Monty Python

Knit Wit,
we had a traveling event box at the event last weekend that was MONTY PYTHON. there were 5 or 6 stamps.
Garrett of The Lane Family and Charlie and I all took part in stamping that in our logbook. It was a team effort. Some of the stamps were big. All were FANTASTIC.

Whew! I am glad that Mama Wolf posted because I was started to become concerned with her silence...wondering what she was planning in retaliation of this talk to "subdue" her!

Like to go for a walk, eh?

Yes, let's hike together some time. Then we'll see how long it takes before you are dead... ;)

I've actually been really busy boxing the month of October! I attended 3 events in a month! That's a record number for me! Plus I hit F2000 with Tigs over the weekend on a fantastic X Marks the Spot box!! I even got to talk to X after finding it. Sooo awesome!

Um....
it's not the hike thats the scary part.... I'm jus sayin.

I remember.... hiking the Piedmont Prarie trail in High Point with Mama Wolf.
We found quite a few letterboxes and had a few adventures..... (like the brown triangle escapade)...... I nearly fell in the lake .....
I walked like Fred Sanford while cemetery boxing at days end..... we STILL went to the upscale restaurant for dinner....
got some interesting looks there.....

When I got home, there were messages on the AQ NC board.... "Has anyone heard from Dina B. ?? I hope she's OK".....
"Does anyone have Dina B's number to call her ?? "
"You know how Mama Wolf is .... I hope Dina B. survived"....

I did almost fall in the lake and look like Fred Sanford...... but I count the day as one of my most memorable in Letterboxing.
Maybe it was the HUG.

Dina, don't warn him. Just make sure he knows that Mama Wolf is the best letterbox navigator in the world, and that he should always let her hold the clues. Then turn them loose in the wilderness together and we will sit here and eat bacon as we wait for their triumphant return.

Well, hopefully you won't NEED directions .... and you know how to read the clues.

Tell me, TLF, are there any shape or color issues that we should know about ??

*lol*

i get to come too.

this i gotta see - the guy who didn't want to go on a five mile hike because the box might be missing. . .

No hike scares me!!!!!

oh, honey - it's never the hike that's scary. Perhaps you should go back and read some of the "rules" of boxing with the Wolf. . .

Truer words were never spoken. I have hiked with the Wolf. To pay her back for the experience, she received the much-acclaimed armpit hug from me.

Let's just say that neither one of us will ever forget the experience and, yet, we have hiked together since. That says something but I'm not sure it's very complimentary to either of us.

When my youngest was 7yr old he could do 13 mile hikes in the rugged terrain of the Uwharries so I think I can safely say with your hiking background that he should easily be able to do 1/2 that mileage. Definitely bring him along!

What is new

Moved here two and a half months ago. I went to two events last month. Exchanged with twenty-two people give or take. Found two boxes today... So not too much.

I too have been hiking with Mama Wolf since the infamous piedmont trails day.

I can only speak for myself when I say the entertainment value alone is worth it.....
that, ... and occasionally I like being "the normal one".......
It puts things nicely into perspective for me.
