Some of the crazier things I have found:

A naked older gentleman in a really nice classic car...I was wondering why all those young handsome men in nice cars kept driving by the secluded loop of the state park... Turns out they are called here they are called "pickle parks"

A backpack with a stash of marijuana and a green glass bong.

And most recently, following some really straight forward clues... A cell phone charger in a Baggie under pine needles. Then digging deeper hoping to find the box, a cell phone wrapped in 3 baggies wrapped in a DC metro map. Still determined to find the box, looking under ALL the trees... A shopping bag hidden under pine needles containing a brand new looking pair of sneakers. What a strange strange day.

That would really make me concerned. I have watched a bit of too much crime drama TV though.

I saw people having sex in the middle of a trail.

Okay, how many people clicked on koalacat's link expecting to see a picture?

I was searching a box one time, pretty sure I found the spot, but found a box nicely wrapped up in Sunday comics. Opened the corner and looked in to find two nice, expensive bongs. At least that is what the police told me.

That made me laugh out loud. I had to explain to Tom why I was laughing.

holding her pet skunk! What??

It's Florida, we're home to the Miami weird magnet. You're surprised? ;)

I've never seen anything crazy while boxing, but then again I have a pretty high crazy tolerance, so what I think is nutso might be horrifying to others.

One time I went geocaching and the cache was supposed to be about 20 feet inside the edge of a wooded area by a Walmart. I walked in with my son, and a homeless guy was sitting on the cache (which was a 5 gallon bucket). He waved at us, and we ran away!

Okay, at first, I found it funny and still do a bit. Now though, considering a few people clicked agree without finding it amusing - REALLY?

Do you all really think I am going to post pictures of some couple on the internet, let alone TAKE the pictures of some people having sex in the woods? REALLY? While it was in a public place, it is an invasion of privacy, and probably illegal. Really.

Then there would be the AQ repercussions. The post would be deleted faster than.... a new box added (got nothing here). Ryan would probably ban me for a few days. Really.

I told it back when it happened three years ago, and posted the link to the board post. You all need to get your head out of the gutter. Really.

Geesh. Happy New Year everyone.

Too close to urban areas I think...
It's been awhile but those were memorable items.

Just the other day I didn't find the 'box but I did find two bottles of booze, and one was unopened. Last finder's prize?

I thought I'd finally shed the newbie title, but since I've never witnessed sexcapades in the woods...

sniff, sniff.

I'd gone up to get the box and come back. I noticed the back of the park sign had the typical, call me for a good time numbers. But one of the graffiti posts said what his name was, the dates and times he'd be in the park at that location and how much he liked panties. And the box location I'd just come from had panties on the ground beside th bench. Ugh! Totally freaked me out. I dont think I'll go back there alone again.

While boxing in a semi-urban area, we followed the clues from a road through a grassy area to some woods, and came upon a hidden campsite where some homeless peoiple had been living. There were sleeping bags, clothes, folding chairs, a cooking and eating area, etc. The box was in the trunk of a hollow tree right in the middle of the site! I felt like we were tresspassing in someone's home. Was very glad they weren't there at the time!

Oh, I forgot you take Henry and that he even logs in sometimes. Do you push an umbrella stroller for him too when he gets tired of walking but instead of him using it you carry him? ;)

Wiccan circle. Didn't realize what it was until I was standing in it. It was made of woven branches and had candles, shells and rocks placed along perimeter. I was actually very beautiful.

Yesterday entering a cemetery, looking for a box, there was a service going on with an open casket. Didn't want to disturb the family/friends, so we drove around looking for a landmark to the box. Deciding to come back later, we had to drive by the tent/casket again. To my surprise they were loading the casket in a pick up truck! What? Never seen that one before! They loaded it and took it to the actual grave site. You just never know what you are going to see! Thankfully, no naked people on my adventures. We left and came back later to stamp in the box.

Idlemoon - the pickle park - was that by any chance Indian Orchard Park in Media? When I went there with my daughter, 3-4 years ago, I pulled up in the parking lot loop behind a car that was running. I pulled up right behind it, assuming they were about to leave... but then realized there was no one in the driver's seat. I shut my car off, we gathered up our supplies... & then I saw the top of someone's head appear... they were in the backseat!! And here, dummy that I am, I had parked right behind them for a front row seat! LOL

Also, Ridley Creek State Park - one parking lot I parked in had a few guys sitting alone (I think!) in cars. I got a funny vibe, so I drove to another part of the park.

Once in my family's early hiking days, I took my twins on a hike in the Sheepfold area of the Fells, here in MA. I parked in the first lot I saw, and we hiked. Afterward, I opened the passenger side of the car, put the kids in, spent a few minutes buckling them & chatting & giving them snacks. Finally I closed the door & walked around to the driver's side, and got the shock of my life when I saw an overweight middle-aged man in a Speedo, in a fully reclined lounge chair, right next to my car!! I found out later that this is also a popular gay meet-up spot, and that most other people use a different parking area. Live and learn!!

Bee, I'll let it slide for you. Yesterday was your birthday. =P

Plus, I've played Cards Against Humanity with you and Pugs twice. One of those times with a bunch of letterboxers. Maybe that is corrupting our minds. =P

All right, now who wants to open my CAH deck and play a game?

he rides in the belly pack on my tummy, and Skootch carries the boxing bag. Sometimes he gets to explore an area on his leash, but then goes back into the pack.
