Hi
We are driving from Albuquerque to Houston, any suggestions for some stunning boxes to stop for?
Need an excuse to get out of the car for a few minutes to stretch and hunt.
Cheers

I used the trip planner from the toolbox on the toolbar at the top of this page to get these--skip the Santa Fe ones. http://www.atlasquest.com/results.html?typeId=1;sort=5;status=9;subFlags=176;title=Along+Route+66+%28offpath+%26lt%3B+5+mi%29;coords=32%2C0%2C100000;rad=5;location=ALONG+Route+66;gPage=4

Looks like #432 on are the ones you'd be interested in.

I don't know why this one didn't show up: http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?boxId=126075

Thank you for the interesting and comprehensive suggestion. I am not a premium member so I dont have the option to build a trip. Since we will be commuting to Texas more that road tripping I am really interested in a few awesome stamps to stop for.

My husband wants to take me to A&M so I found the blue diamond clue for the engineering school. A perfect match to our commute to Houston. Next is to find something cool in Galveston for our weekend trip to the gulf. Please message me if you have any suggestions for historically interesting or regionally inspired plants.

If you are looking for some awesome stamps then I suggest that you look for boxes by Boots Tex - great carves and wonderful history lessons. And if you are in the Houston/Spring area I would make time for this box - http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?boxId=61829
Have fun!

What he said! ;)

I haven't made that trip yet, but once you get here, we can probably set you up. Things we have done with guests in the past: downtown cemetery tour (Glenwood cemetery), Memorial Park -- Jack Brooks has many boxes. If you let us know when you get here, we'll arrange for a meet-up.

Texas Clipper, Bishop's Palace Revisited, First President of Texas (LbNA), Bolivar Lighthouse (LbNA), Borden Oak (LbNA), and the Galveston Railroad Museum all fit your criteria for regionally inspired or historical. If you give me an idea when you'll be here, we can arrange a meet-up. I'll also take you around in case your reluctant companion wants to do something else. :)

Thanks for the referral and the kind words. It might be helpful to know the route you intend to take from Albuquerque to Houston. There's miles and miles of West Texas highways out there and more than one way to get from one place to another.
