Now that the dust has settled, I want to give a shout out to ST-Ranger and Knotty Lady for the wonderful Rocket City Rendezvous event they hosted last weekend in Huntsville. They not only planted 80+ traditional boxes, but they wrote the clues to the trail loops so the finders could go clock-wise OR counter-clockwise!! And most of the boxes are permanent plants, thank goodness because I just didn't have the stamina to get all of them that day! Now I have a reason to go back (besides visiting our hosts, of course!). The two of them welcomed many new boxers and first time event attendees with open arms! It was great to see old friends again, as well as meet all the newbies. I got many more exchanges than I usually do at events, so a lot of socializing was done. And what a fantastic surprise to have Autumn Acorns (Knotty Lady's brother and SIL), unbeknownst to our hosts, join us all the way from NY state!!! It was also great to meet our hosts' son and soon to be DIL at the event. And finally, who can forget the cake? Made by Knotty Lady herself... to celebrate ST-Ranger's 60th birthday. Yum! Great weather, great friends (old and new), great carves and boxes, and CAKE. It doesn't get much better than that!!

There were 8 stamps hidden in the area of the pavilion that showed Mickey Mouse as he was depicted through the years. I was told that this series was called The Evolution of Mickey, but I can't find it listed anywhere. Does anyone know the correct listing for this series?

We had a wonderful time too. So many boxes to find it was like a fantasy.. ha. Loved that the trails wove in and around the camp sites, so we could hop on the trails at the cabins. Thanks ST-Ranger for getting a year older and thank both St-Ranger and Knotty Lady for making Letterboxing a year better !!!
