Description

The 10th Annual Tucson, Arizona, Letterboxers Gathering will take place on Saturday, February 8, 2014, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. All letterboxers are invited. Save this date. This year's event will be held at Canada Del Oro Riverfront Park in Oro Valley. We will be at the Big Horn Ramada.. New letterboxes will be placed for this event. Also, bring your own new boxes to plant. This area will have both groomed and natural areas along the Canyon Del Oro Wash. An early dinner will be a potluck. Burritos will be provided and participants are asked to bring other foods to add to the meal. Bring your own drinks. This is a great opportunity to meet new letterboxers, do some exchanges, obtain a few travelers, and of course find new letterboxes. There are dozens of letterboxes in the Tucson area and several near the gathering area to find before, during, and after the event. This is at an elevation of about 2,500 ft., so the weather should be mild.

This event is being held at the same time as the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show -- the world's largest gem & mineral show! Please be aware that motel rooms, as well as rental cars, are very difficult to find and expensive. If you are having a problem locating a room, you might try to the east in Benson or north to Casa Grande or even Phoenix. Camping is available at at least six campgrounds in the greater Tucson area, some public and some commercial.

There will be a special event stamp for this gathering.

If any of you local people have some firewood, please bring it for the campfire ring.
