Tomahawks are a lot harder to use than they look. We have 3 or 4 and a very damaged trash can. Log was sitting on the trash can and the can got way more hits. And they are not very sharp on purpose.

*Sigh* Was actually considering boxing today but Sparky didn't want to poke his nose out of the AC. Yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Rhode Island Treasure Hiker Program

Since I grew up in Rhode Island and there was no treasure hiker program, I decided to start one. The first tag available will be for 50 miles. Check out AQ information on treasure hiker rules. The start date will be June 30th, 2012. Add up your points and let me know when you reach 50. The tags will be available for three dollars. The first tag has a red maple tree image. This is Rhode Island's state tree.
To see the pathtag, click on the link below:

Well I better get hiking in Rhode Island...I have a total of 2 miles so far!

Humm... "Slack baking". Oddly I pretty much cater to this. Most of the stuff I bake I give away to others. It's just a matter of who is in close proximity to me!

I'm just glad to finally have a name for it...

I am going to be in Las Vegas next month and I was considering a tour to the Grand Canyon. Any suggestions as to which Rim is best to tour would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if I am driving or taking a tour bus . . . though I would love to do a helicopter tour.

That is so gracious of you to offer to drive down to box with me. But I just can’t see asking you to spend 5 hours in the car just for me. Have you already boxed in the area before? I would even feel worse having you come for boxes you have already found.

Reposting of Idaho Clues
Board: State: Idaho
Jun 30, 2012 7:47pm
Thread Board
With the unveiling and discovery of the Idaho vandal and the returning of most of my stolen stamps I decided that it was probably time to re-list all of my Idaho clues on Atlas Quest and LBNA. I have spent about 5 hours on this task so far and I think that all of my active Idaho boxes are listed once again on Atlas Quest. I am still making updates on LBNA to sync the two sites but I am almost finished. If anyone notes any that I have missed along the way please let me know. One or two are bound to slip through the cracks. I started getting a little fuzzy around midnight last night working on this time consuming project. I forgot how much work it is to post clues for so many boxes but I am extremely thankful that we can finally post them once again for everyone to enjoy.

I've only been on the south rim, which since I've been there, I believe has added the glass walkway out over the Canyon for a thrill! The time of day changes the shadows and colors all through the day. I hope you will be able to spend some time while there. The awesome place is taking the road out of Flagstaff and down through to Sedona that is an extremely curvy and winding road down through but the colors and views are out of this world! Of course, Sedona is so very special that it is hard to drive while rubber necking at all the marvelous views! You are IN the canyon looking up at the Red Rock formations which is the opposite of the G. C.!!!!

Enjoy your trip,
Hugs,
Wendy

Here's a tutorial about blanket stitching. It's an easy way to sew up the sides of your stamp bag.

What is large enough to be both "indoors" and "stroll"

Temple Square. :)

For those not familiar with the area, chances of you getting anywhere close to park are slim. And even if you get the closest parking spot, you still have to walk to actually get on site. You certainly can't see your car when you're there.

Did you put some more boxes inside of a mall?

I've never planted inside a mall, unless you're counting outdoor malls like City Creek or Gateway.

It's a good idea, though. :)
