Yay! I've been wondering if you'd completed your adventure yet. How did your gear work out?

Some good news our gus is feeling a bit better and even stayed home with us all weekend and didn't have to go to the vet. They have started him on chemo and his gums are starting to get pink. These means his red blood cells are come back. He still gets...

That is GREAT news! I hope he continues to progress towards a full recovery!

That's a theory no one has tried on me before. lol

Wow, that would be great. I would still want to have to find it. Wingfoot

I have only glanced at the clue for these, but if my suspicions are right I may have a leg up on the competition so to speak.

The parade was tons of fun. People really got dressed up for it. DH had been kind of iffy about going but he had so much fun. It reminded him of what Mardi Gras was like when he was a kid. Cutest thing in the parade: shetland pony with black wing...

The font is available online fer free - it is called "Babelstone Pigpen". I needed to do it as a .jpg instead of the usual .pdf because the cipher came into the .pdf and that would make it too easy. :-) Happy hunting - it is a very pretty and magica...

It was a beautiful day. Met some new boxers! Hope to them again soon. Tampa Bay Boxers are off to Orlando Friday & Saturday on another adventure. Wish you were here too! FROG Grandma

You bet.

She email me last night and this was her 700th find, it will definately be a memorable one. She did get my "First Finder" LTC, but maybe we do need one for people hurt on the trail. LOL

Many thanks to everyone for your kinds thoughts, words and concern. I was relieved that x-ray showed my femur doesn't appear be broken (which everyone thought), I need to follow up with orthopedic doctor, ER dr. believes I tore the major muscle. Talk...

WASHINGTON. DC. We could start a local fund and purchase his cemetery plot for him to make sure he's 'planted' here!

I got a very nice First Finders LTC and find number 700!!! Glad it didn't happen with box 699!! Or 666! LOL

Last month, I had a box series with a blue diamond. I'm ok that it doesn't have a blue diamond this month because I know blue diamonds come and go. I was actually surprised another box of mine got a blue diamond this month. I check my rankings every...

So happy to read you are OK, Sue!! Glad you made it to 700 - you look good in purple:-) So I'll be concentrating on Postals and LTCs for awhile More LTCs!?! No complaints here! Take care of yourself, my feline friend! Lovebird K

If by "participate" you mean "write 3 days before becoming hopelessly behind in word count" then YES, I'm IN! This is so me, but I'm trying again this year, anyway. Gonna buddy anyone I can, in hopes of sparking my inner competitiveness.

Oh, I'm frykitty over there, too. Buddy me. http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/441255

I have her address - just sent her a postal last week. I had a similar situation - we had a box plated in Maine with some shale rocks in the area. Another boxer fell and broke her leg and never reached the box. I sent her a copy of the image anyway...

May just be that some folks are on FB all the time anyways. FB is always open on my computer, like most of my class mates (we exchange notes about upcoming exams, changes in scheduling and plans, etc.) so it isn't unusual for our hobbies to be 'dissem...

I buddies you. I'm "A M Jenner" over there. Heart Writer is "Anne Marie Jenner". and if you go over to my website and click on the nanowrimo page, there's a buncha AQ people listed there, by their "real" AQ trailnames, who are doing nano. a good plac...

Feel free to add me to the page. Is there a way to find those folks on nano from there?

I've had a couple people with interesting stories when being first finders on my boxes. Which is kind of funny considering I've only planted 7. LOL I was more concerned about hearing how you were doing than that my box was back in it's place. I guess...

it's a really good suggestion. for right now, their AQ name is above the widget. their nano name is on the widget. you could look at the nano name and go look them up. most of my buddies at nano are also friends at AQ...but there's no way from that e...

I just found out that a fellow letterboxer was hurt earlier today finding one of my boxes. It had nothing to do with the placement of the box, the wind started blowing her papers around and she quickly ran to catch the papers, but then tripped on a roo...

Maine was part of Mass. for a long time, so there is a lot of Maine history in Mass. Better get down there and get those boxes in that place that we were once part of!! Good one Seagull. I might just use that line sometime. :D Got to teach that history...

I would love to see one. Can someone post a photo? Lone R I've got mine still. It was a simple bind, but fitting with the theme. The real treasure was how all the information inside was organised. We have to go back and get all the ones we missed a...

Do any of these kids go to school or daycare? I can only imagine what their teachers might think when they try to get their friends to hide the lock n locks out of their lunches. 3DTs - No, mine aren't in school yet - but we HAVE had playdates where ki...

There's just a fifteen or so mile problem between us : ) NH always gets in the way of something! LOL

I forgot to mention the embarrassing fact that when they cut off my slacks and underwear (yes, underwear too!!) at the hospital, they were full of sticks and leaves!!
