Green Trees, Blue Skies, Red Barn


I got up on Sunday morning and headed back into Coldspring. I made my way to Lone Star Quilter and Boots Tex's Red Barn and was ushered right inside. I was able to enjoy chatting with them about LBing and trading stories from the trail. I was even invited to enjoy one of their famous cinnamon rolls and stamp into the cinnamon roll stamp.
I finally headed out to the Lone Star Trail to pick up a couple of LB's there, then headed back to Double Lake. I'd carved a stamp the night before, and wanted to make sure I planted it before I left.
I left my car and headed down a particular trail to plant my LB, only to discover that this was a short trail that headed straight back to the parking lot. I turned around and headed back to the trail head, found a few boxes, and planted my own. I spent the better part of the day here and probably left around 3:30 or so to head back home.
By the end of the day, my logbook was getting pretty full. I had to go back on some pages and try to squeeze a few stamps in on some holes that were left. I've usually been pretty good in the past about keeping an extra logbook, but this time I wasn't quite so efficient. I didn't have too many problems, but I definitely need to go shopping soon!
The strangest thing that happened to me on this day was that I encountered a ghost at one of my stops. I can't reveal the secrets of the encounter, but he was a nice ghost and even let me exchange with him. Maybe there really IS letterboxing in the after life....who knows?
