Rusk Redoux

I mentioned in a previous post that I'd be letterboxing no matter the weather for today, AND I MEANT IT!! Barefoot Lucy told Blue Butterfly and I that the event was basically cancelled, but we could still get together with her and JB Kokopelli to chat and exchange.

BB and I left her house a little early and hit Rusk to find a few boxes planted by Dewberry from the March gathering. The first place we hit was the Jim Hogg Park. Unfortunately, the gate was still locked when we got there, so we decided to try another time. Next, we hit a trail behind a historical marker to find STILL DREAMIN'. This was a great stamp carved by an out-of-state boxer.

We tried for one more box (missing), then found a snack and headed to the park. BB checked on her CRASH AT CRUSH LB, then we joined BFL and JBK at the pavilion. We exchanged, got the Event Stamp, and earned personal travelers. We were there for almost two hours just chatting about letterboxing. I think a good time was had by all.

Blue Butterfly and I stopped and got some lunch, then went after JB Kokopelli's JANUARY HOLIDAY SERIES. These five boxes were a lot of fun for us to find. Even though it was cold and raining, we managed to find ways of stamping in and still keeping all the boxes and log books dry. As you can see in the picture, BB is utilizing the back of her van with the back gate lifted as shelter for the precious letterboxing paraphernalia!

After finishing up with that series, we called it a day and headed home.
