Weekend Trip

Last Saturday, I got up bright and early (ok, dark and early) and head south towards Lake Somerville State Park. I wanted to FINALLY plant my Fragrant Flower LB and then head over to San Antonio to do some box maintenance.

After Mapquest took me on a wild goose chase to find the park, I called Blue Butterfly, who looked up Silver Eagle's directions for me and I easily got to the park. I started out by finding Sandi Box's Texas State Symbol #1-Small Mammal. It was sprinkling a little bit and there were several trees whose branches hung low over the trails and I had to do my best to go under them. Every time I touched a branch, though, I got a little shower from the water that had collected in the tree.

After stamping in, I headed to another part of the park and found a nice place to hide my Fragrant Flower LB. After that adventure was over, I headed West to San Antonio.

After getting to the zoo parking lot, I discovered finding a place to park was going to be a challenge. I finally gave up and headed down the street to park, then walked back. The last time we were at the park, there were some renovations going on, but they are all completed now and the park is even nicer than the first time I visited. I found my box and opened it to discover exactly what GG had reported to me. The log book was in pieces. I'll post more about the logbook situation another time. However, I collected the pieces of the logbook and replaced it with another. Then, I headed over to find Blue Butterfly's Go Spurs Go! LB. I collected her nearly full logbook and placed a new one inside. I can't wait for her to see her logbook from that box!

After that, I headed to Southside Lions park to find Corazon and Sunsnake's new series: Girl Scout Camp. I started off by trying to find Girl Scout Soup, but couldn't seem to put my finger on the right tree. I decided to head off for the next box, and easily found that one. When I got to the Square Knot box, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get it as there was a large group of young men at the picnic pavilion. However, I was able to spot one of the landmarks that Corazon described, and didn't have to go near the pavilion. This was a fun series, and I'm DEFINITELY going back again (someday) to try and find that Soup box! Thanks Corazon and Sunsnake!
