The weather didn't dampen the enthusiasm for your wonderful event, Jiffy. Thanks so much to you, MLMK, Angel Treads and Crafty Lobster for all the effort. The series at the homestead/barn and the historical tour were just super. The Museum in the Street series was a hoot. When ever have the local police had a list of our trail names in case were were reported as suspicious. lol Mud and I had to depart early but will get back that way to finish the series that we didn't have time for. Thank you again!

Great time along the Maine coast, thanks to all the key players ( you know who you are). The images were superb as well, thanks to all the carvers also. The historical background weaved into this event was noteworthy, our seacoast is rich with nautical folklore. The walking tour was extremely informative and the "chowdah" was outstanding!! Great location, Great images, Great friends and Great food!! Don't get much better than that, ayuh!!!

You are so kind. I think the amazing carve you are referring to was Sweet Dreams which is a Hosmers carve. They are from, guess? Georgia. lol It was a pleasure to meet you both and I hope you enjoy Acadia. Don't forget to try breakfast at Two Cats.

Thank you so much for your Maine Hospitality! The beginning of our day was a little disappointing, so to have the event with wonderful people, turned it all around! We had so much fun meeting other letterboxes from all over the country!

Thank you!

I just want to take a moment and thank all who attended and participated! We were a small group but WOW! We hope you all had a great time and we loved sharing our small town with everyone!! The best part... everyone was smiling throughout the whole event, even in the pouring rain! Thank you so much for making this event a success! Especially to our crew of organizers Angel treads, ATVRacer, Crafty Lobster, mudflinginfools and Teacup!! I can’t forget Aiphid who was able to carve the main event stamp during his busy work schedule. I also don’t want to forget contrary, who worked with us to help organize the historical society members help!

Thanks again all, it meant a lot to us to have you share in our love of our hometown!
Jiffy and KLMK

A repeated message, but thank you! I loved everything about this event...the well-planned indoor boxes (just right for the time it rained), visiting the historic house and then touring the town through both the signage, the tour guide, and finding the commerce boxes. Moose Point State Park was fabulous...what a bunch of great carves! We met several new letterboxers from California to Georgia to Maine and it is so great to put some faces with trail names. Jiffy and crew, you know how to throw a wonderful event.
