Middle Earth Event

The Group Photo

Breath of Life and Trillion Grams organized an event centered around The Lord of The Rings. I will confess that I have neither read the books nor watched the movies, but I was excited to get together with some other letterboxers on this day.

Blue Butterfly and I arrived around 11:30 or so and were greeted by several old friends. I then went to the main event table and stamped into the BLOOMING FLOWERS TRIBUTE LB and entered BB and myself into the drawings. Trillion Grams offered up her newest signature stamp, as did Breath of Life--both are lovely carves.

I hunted down the event stamp and then met, chatted, and exchanged with Bucky's First, Gran's Fam, and Clueless Blues. After wrapping up with that crowd and chatting with Clueless Blues, Captain Lola and her family joined us. We had a delightful time chatting and exchanging--by the way--I just now saw there is a hat on your signature stamp, Captain Lola...very clever!

Now it was time for me to join the Fantastic Four. One of their clan was missing due to a prior commitment, but the remaining three were a delight to chat with. I was able to exchange with them and #4 of the group showed me a great letterbox they'd stamped into in Oregon. It was one of those boxes that the finders are supposed to add stamps to when they find it, and this one was a real treasure trove of stamps.

After getting a bite to eat, we decided it was time to hit the trail. So, Blue Butterfly, Mother's Love, Beach Bum TX, Pink Cookie and I set out on the trail to find the event-themed permanent stamps. We found the five theme stamps, plus the BLUE HERON stamp.

Thanks to the event organizers for a lovely day! The weather was perfect!!
