Oh yeah, great thought. But I'd have to get there before Mei Mary so she doesn't get them all. Lol

We better have lunch before you tackle snake territory back there. I collected a few and ran across 2 snakes. It will be a while before I head over there again. I have been looking in the neighborhood amd in our outdoor learning environment when I can get outside to walk.

I have not been boxing lately & the woods are calling! I hope to Lbx a little in CT next week while I'm there to get me in the swing on things.

Back in January, Exp 626 & I took a road trip to Knoxville TN. The must have for that trip was *Psycho* It RAINED like crazy that trip, but that didn't stop us for peppering the town with HH'ers!
In March, I visited my goddaughter in Jacksonville, FL. I scooped up her three children & went looking for *Home of the Blue Angels* and the kids LOVED Lbxing so much, now they each have journals ;) I must say, I love getting photos on FB on her babes in the woods hunting for stamps.
In April, Exp626 & I took her little girl for a weekend of Lbxing in Durham at West Point on the Eno Park. We walked 5 1/2 miles in one day & her daughter TALKED for 5 1/2 miles that day!
I have been to Lake Norman State Park three times since May & only found 1 of the five boxes there! That's when I realized I lost my boxing groove.

As for carves, I sent my Joker *Why So Serious* stamp to Warrior Woman's "Jokers and Jesters Egg Hunt" for April Fool's Day. From the comments, many folks enjoyed it. I have come along way from *J Runs on D*
My *Farfalla* should be at summer camp in Naples NC this summer which reminds me I need to pack a set of night boxes for my daughter's camp next week. I carved a stamp for Plant a Beer Day & have one stamp on the table for a board game store to be carved along with other doodles.

I have four stamps that need to get planted. One is a redo that had gone missing. I love the location, but I fear I'll lose this one there too. Another should go inside at a coffee house & live its life as a HHH, but I haven't found one where I can plant it. I have a bonus box that needs to get out on the trail... it's three feet away from me as I type! The main box is out there & I feel I should send the finders that have been there a personal LTC! Lastly, I sheepishly have an AMAZING carve Mama Wolf made me (a year ago) that needs a wonderful home where it will never get lost/stolen/eaten/or any other natural disaster imagined. She made me promise that it would be planted & not a traveler. (Dangit!)

I can't even remember what it is now! But ALL of the stamps I give are for planting. And if it gets lost, that's okay.

I have a box I planted in TN for my finally Treasure Hiker points, and another I planted in NC that I've never gotten around to listing. That was about a year ago now! But they are both on pretty good hikes so it's unlikely they are going to get found anyway. I still have 7 unfound boxes on similar type hikes. But I don't do much finding now myself.

I just went on an amazing trip to visit my sister and brother-in-law in Colorado. My husband let me turn it into a letterboxing extravaganza! We stopped at an event in Ohio that was along the way. I added 8 states to my find list, 2 to my plant list, AND hit 4000 boxes found! I have now found boxes in 41 states. And plan to add Hawaii next year!

While we were there, we also hiked in Rocky Mountain National Park, something that I couldn't do last year when we were there. But, as some of you know, I had my lapband removed due to extreme complications and had the gastric sleeve. With that tool and all of my time in the gym, I am down 60 pounds and still losing. The altitude only affected me a little and I was able to enjoy the beauty of the park so much more this trip! I'm currently training for a mini triathlon.

I also (finally) got my sister hooked on boxing. We had a blast and found some beautiful spots in the mountains while I was there.

Now, I'm looking forward to a girls weekend and the Disney event. Woohoo!

You are doing so good Amy, I am so proud of you. I'm also jealous that you have found boxes in so many states. Lol
I'm hoping to hit a milestone on our weekend trip, but if I don't you know it's OK, we will have fun no matter what.

I just got back from a 2.5 week endeavor in California and Arizona, going to weddings and catching up with family. I was lucky enough to find a box here and there in Cali (OMG, if you're in Fort Bragg then you have to get Gram's Jam and some jam from the shop because it is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. - just don't forget to pack it correctly or else the guys with the TSA will take it from you, like they took mine) but went on some fun adventures with AZJokester to Colossal Cave in Vail, AZ and in and around Tucson. PSA, make sure you ALWAYS wear sunscreen whilst boxing in the desert because if you don't you'll get burned alive and then have to be a bridesmaid in your friend's wedding wearing a sleeveless dress while looking like a lobster.

My husband and I have about a week left here in Florida before we move to Denver and so we'll go boxing in Havana, Tallahassee, and maybe Bainbridge before we go. After we make our move I'll head out to an event with my mom, Gypsy Fiddler, in August followed by a quick trip to Raleigh in September for the Disney event. It's going to be a magical time. :)
