Boxing with a Lion

This morning, I got up early and stopped by Roarin' Lions house so he and I could go do some boxing. He still had some boxes to stamp into that had been placed in honor of the TX RR Gathering, so we piled into the car and headed to Rusk.

We started out by going to a couple of new boxes placed by JB Kokopelli placed in a park that used to be Rusk College. We found Linus Goes to School, but the Snoopy box escaped us. RL had fun climbing all those stairs!

Next we went to Rusk State Park and picked up Letterboxing Coyotes, Boxcar Willie, Crash at Crush, and Baja Oklahoma. I was pleased to see there had been a few visitors to these fine boxes since I'd been there last. After we found these boxes, we went to the train station and ate our picnic and of course RL wanted to play on the playground for a bit.

After we finished with our lunchtime activities, we headed to Maydelle. We found Barefoot Lucy's Loblolly Pine box. As she states in her clues, this box is at a very serene location. It was beautiful and peaceful there. When we arrived, however, there was a small dog in the parking area. I got out of the car first to see if the dog would be friend or foe, and he seemed friendly enough. This puppy followed us around and sat with us as we stamped into the box and made some whimpering noises. RL said he must be looking for his family. After we stamped in, we headed back to the car and the dog followed us. We had to leave him there, but I hope his family found him later.

Even though RL was tired and ready to go home, I wanted to check on my Camp Out LB and let him stamp into it. We were pleasantly surprised to find a fun HH, Big Foot Without Big Socks. We can't wait to let this foot loose to make some more footprints in other boxes!

Tomorrow, I'm taking a little trip for a job interview, but I'm going to try and plant a box while in the area and find a few, too!
