It was sad news to hear that CorvidaeBlue's husband passed away due to complications from COVID 19. Many of you in the midwest have met CorvidaeBlue at events. Toni and her husband, Andy, were active volunteers at Hoo Haven, a wildlife rescue service near their home. If you are interested in making a donation in Andy's memory, please contact me via AQ email for information.

Congrats to 2 talented and creative artists on a super Box of the Week! We are so fortunate to have so many of their wonderful boxes to hunt in the mid-west! Three cheers for the Bite Me series!

Add my ditto to these congrats! I enjoyed finding each and everyone of this challenging series. The story behind these abandoned cemeteries and little towns is fascinating. If you see the name of Toasters and Frog attached to any box, you know that it will be a creative winner!

Thanks for the shot out, it was exciting waking up to the announcement email. The series was a fun one to create and working with the Amazing Frog always a joy. Researching the various abandoned cemeteries and learning more about the area's dark history was interesting. Lilly and the other famous vampires would love to have more finders visit their final resting place....

Sorry to hear that, but understand completely, We do hope to make it to one in the future once this all has passed. We have been missing to many events to visit with so many friends across the country.

Having attended all of your previous creative events, I am sorry that this year will be skipped. Hopefully, the future will bring a return to normal, and the fun traditions will continue. In the meantime, everyone should hang in there, and take care of ourselves and others as best as we can.

Thank you! I consider myself extremely lucky that I stumbled across letterboxing by accident. It has been 11 years of fun and friendship. I hope that things return to near normal this year, and I can see you all at events and on the trail in the future.

For those who have attended my annual winter event at my home in the past or even considered attending. I'm trying to decide whether to host an event for the winter of 2022 as I have done in the pre-pandemic years or wait. Please let me know your preferences by completing the one question survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/D23MB29
Who would like to play in the Midwest?

Most of the plans for my Half Century Birthday Adventure are in place, and all are in invited to join the letterboxing and camaraderie. Here is the itinerary so far.

On March 13th at 6:00 PM is a supper gathering in Evansville, IN.

On March 15th is not an official event, yet I will be boxing and playing in Casey, IL mid-day.

On March 17th at 2:00 PM is a birthday party event in Homer, IL.

On March 19th is a gathering in Indianapolis at Crown Hill Cemetery.

On March 20th, it is possible that I will visit Spring Hill Cemetery in Cincinnati, OH. That may depend on if I find a letterboxing buddy, on how the weather is, etc. On the 20th or 21st, I will head toward home and possibly make a stop or two on the way. That end-of-the-trip timeline is still being figured out.

If you would like to join others and me, please check out the events that I shared. It would be a bonus to get to meet you. Thank you for reading this far!

Enjoy it all! It sounds like a great trip and you are headed to some wonderful places. Evansville has some amazing boxes, way more than you will be able to get in one trip.

And, if you like quirky and BIG, Casey is a treat.

Enjoy your birthday party; I know TeachJR will make it fabulous. I wish I could join the party!

Thank you so much for the kind words! While I know that lots of boxers travel, I have never made a letterboxing journey like this. This will be quite an adventure for me, and I am both excited and a bit nervous. 😉

If you live in (or have lived in) Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, or South Dakota, and you'd like to contribute a state stamp to our event, please check out the details and sign up in our tracker:
https://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.php?trackerId=11387

Any questions, please AQ message Eiryn or me.
Thanks for considering this!
