I let Blue Butterfly know earlier this week that I might be visiting her for the weekend, and we decided that we'd take a letterboxing detour while we were together! I met Blue Butterfly in Jacksonville at the crack of noon today, and we got started on our adventure. We really wanted to find a box placed by Baby Bear and we also wanted to find one of BT's Governor Series.
We decided to head for ID Fairchild Forest first, where A GOOD DAY FOR MY WIFE is planted. Unfortunately, our "shortcut" turned into a longer ordeal and we finally had to pull out Blue Butterfly's GPS system in order to get to Maydelle. We were relieved to finally hit Highway 84 and made our way to the appropriate place to follow Baby Bear's clues. Luckily, our feet didn't get wet when we hopped over the creek and we made it safely to the other side. (Is there anything I WON'T do for a letterbox?) Thanks to Baby Bear for planting another fun box for us to find!
Next, we went to Rusk State Park, but of course, it's not a state park any more. Blue Butterfly needed to replace a logbook in her CRASH AT CRUSH LB, and we also decided to visit/check on others' boxes in the park. Finally, we went and found Lone Star Quilter's box, RAILWAY TO HEAVEN. This one was kind of difficult to locate because the box had been moved to an alternate location....probably from recent rains. Luckily, we did find it and were able to replace it back in it's original location.
Our next stop was to be at Jim Hogg Park to stamp into one of Boots Tex's governor series. However, when we got to the park, there were loads of people there for the PIONEER DAYS celebration. We decided it would be best to save this box for another day.
