"X" is moving!

Hey gang,

Just found out that they have decided to move us this summer.

They are sending us back to Astoria, Oregon. We were stationed there from 1998-2002. We are thrilled to be going back to the west coast, close to our families. It'll be sad to leave the fun and games in NC. This group is truly like nothing else. In case anyone is wondering...I intend to leave all my "Secrets" behind.

Late June departure.

I'm glad you'll be back close to your families, but I hate that there will be no new X boxes. :(

We definately need a "SEND X PACKING" event...... LOL
Someone needs to plan something special. Some of us haven't had the pleasure to meet X yet and he's moving to the other side of the US !!!

ooooh, I doubt that Xboxes will become exclusive to that part of the country. Too many ties back here. Too many folks willing to help me plant...absentia.

Ohhh...I hate that you will be leaving us X!!! I know this is a good move for you, but we will be losing one of NC's finest! So happy that we could meet you though, here in the happenin' town of Burlington!!

I hear Oregon is beautiful and would love to visit one day...maybe we could meet for coffee and call it "Meeting Turtlelove For Coffee" event... ;o)

Hope to cross paths before you go...
Turtlelove :o)

How about an event in Elizabeth City or the OBX? Maybe too far for the gang. I think BABE is a good place to say goodbye to good friends.

How sad for us but great for you and Oregon. I know there are a wild bunch of great boxers out in the PNW.

Ohhh, baby, you got that right! Whoo-hoo!

So your loss is our gain?

I have been wanting to go to Astoria for a while as there are fun boxes there.

And, LbNA lists 413 letterboxes in the greater Portland area -- I don't even know what AQ lists! Portland is not that far away from Astoria.

X, when you get close to moving, let the Oregon board know so we can do a Meet & Greet and meet cha! And maybe it could be a field trip to Astoria for boxes! Yumm! And now, there will be even more boxes soon, right X?

And you'll have to meet dem xx men, just because of the name! dorks anonymous (one member of dem xx men) was also a recent transplant to our fair state. When told that anyone visiting had to lick a slug (we were at a gathering and one was on the trail), Redcat was smart enough not to believe Camp Fire Lady but we have pictures of dorks anonymous actually doing this! Ewww.

Don't worry, X, I would never tell someone to do that!

When do you move? When does North Carolina hold their tearful farewell to you?

Wow! Leaving NC at the BABE event and greating the PNW at the Live and Breathe event!! The 2 great events to celebrate the 10th anniversary of letterboxing. What a grand exit and entrance!

Alas, I don't think any of the rest of us in NC will becoming (unless there is some lucky soul that hasn't mentioned it). The travel is well out of my price range and the event too large for me.

X has left us with some wonderful boxes that we'll all treasure. Oregon is very lucky to be getting him.

I'll miss X very much.

I really wish I had taken the time to meet "X" since he is now leaving the Carolinas. He was right here in Greenville recently, I just couldn't make it work.

I guess it will always be that way with letterboxing:

if you don't go for it when you know it's there
it may not be there when you have the time.

You'll still have a chance if you can make it to BABE in April! I sure wish I could go to Live and Breathe but it's out of my price range at the moment...

Well X I will miss you, wish you the best and thank you again for being so kind to my little guy when we were so lucky to meet you !

I have been planning on going to BABE but quite honest SCARED to DEATH about it - but I guess if it is also your going away party, we will have to try and come out of our valley and be there !
