Description

Bama Beach Bum & I welcome all you LBing friends & new friends to help us solve some mysteries! We are excited that Nature Hikers is sending an event box, "CLUE: A letterboxing whodunit", that will be hidden around the park and available for the day only.
This is family friendly event (we both have kids coming). Make sure you include the kids in your count when you sign up. There will be some snacks & waters for everyone. Paper products provided.
We will be at Veteran's Memorial Park, located just off Cox Creek Parkway near the Shoals Merriott, Shelter #2.

Jul 9, 2018: Mysteries in the making!
We have a little over 3 months before the event. Whew, that's soon! I just received our traveling event box from Nature Hikers. I am impressed! They are really detailed. Some really cool carves to add to your collections.

*Be prepared... a lot of these carves are kind of large (3" x 3"). Make sure your logbook & stamp pad can handle it.

Looking forward to seeing all of you!

Jul 10, 2018: AQ theme
Did you notice today's theme?!
Makes me more excited about our gathering. Hope everyone is getting their stamp pads reinked. You are going to need them for those big old stamps!

Oct 21, 2018: Clues are ready!
Bama Beach Bum & I have finished checking the clues & are hiding the boxes! We are less than 2 weeks away. EEK! So excited!

Wanted to let you all know, the Event Boxes will only be available the day of the event. Most all of the other boxes will be available all weekend, just in case you don't get finished.
If you have any questions, let us know. Can't wait to meet you all. Hope if you stay in town, you will join us at Logans after our Saturday boxing for dinner!

Oct 29, 2018: 4 more days
We only have a few days left! Over 50 boxes are already planted. Hope you are ready.
A few notes...
*we will have all clue sheets ready on the day of event
*some stamps are 2x3 (playing card size). Be prepared
*bring 2 colors of ink (especially black & red) some of the stamps are meant to be stamped in 2 colors
*Jessica & I will be there by 9 am, in case you get antsy

If you have any questions let us know.
Otherwise, can't wait for this Mystery to be solved!
