Today, our family had our traditional Thanksgiving feast at Bluebutterfly's house. After cleaning up our mess and visiting for a while, BB took me to Hogg Park in Rusk to find a few letterboxes. Boots Tex has one of his Governor Series there that I've been wanting to snag and there are several others in that same park.
We got to the park a little before 4:00, and we knew we were on a time crunch because the park closes at 5:00. Blue Butterfly had already found most of these boxes, so she was there to help me out if I had some trouble. The first one we found was NATIVE BORN-TX GOVERNOR SERIES by Boots Tex. I don't know what Boots' secret is, but he does an amazing job of carving these governors and other characters that he puts out into the wild.
After this, we had to decide whether to find JBK's November Series or another letterboxer's WOM series. Once we looked on the posted map to figure out where we were and looked at the time, we decided to head out for the November Holiday series. There are five boxes in this series, and we were only able to find four of them. For some reason, the first box eluded both of us. We had lots of fun finding the remainder of the series. JBK does an excellent job of finding interesting holidays and putting them together with meaningful carvings.
By the time we finished stamping in, there was 11 minutes left before closing time. We ended up taking the long way off the trail and finally arrived at our vehicles a few minutes past five. Luckily, we didn't have any trouble exiting the park and we each got back home safely.
