First find in 5 years

Thanks to my wonderful new husband (we got married in July) I got back out on the trail today and found a letterbox for the first time in 5 years :-) He is Native American, so it did not take much persuading to get him out into the woods with me. My vision restricts me from doing any kind of letterboxing alone, so I am grateful, so very grateful, for this gentle man who has brought me back to the pastime I love so much.

I did actually miss you Warrior Woman. So now I know why you went missing.
I had found many of your plants. Will you be planting again as well?

Yes! I have a two stamp series (carved by dragonrider) set to plant, and another in the works from possibly Janila.

The feeling you get when you receive a brand new bike for Christmas on your 7th birthday is *nothing* compared to the way I feel right now :-)

Thank you! He watches me read the boards every day and look at clues and pine away at the breakfast table browsing nearby boxes ... which I have been doing every day for 5 years before I met him. I finally asked him to take me - and already we have been on 3 scouting missions looking for places to PLANT, not just find :-) You can take the girl out of the letterboxing, but you can't take letterboxing out of the girl!

I posted on Stamp Swap a while back but got no takers. This post of mine did. Janila is carving GIMME SHELTER, and dragonrider has carved LOVE BUGS and TUNNEL OF LOVE, so that's 3 to plant so far. I found a few of my own stamps that were mysteries/postals/personal travelers that I plan to plant as well. Right now I am researching at town hall the boundary lines of the vast tracts of undeveloped land around here. Some of it is mixed use despite the no trespassing signs :-)
