Beastly Boo Bash!

I woke up a little earlier on Sunday than I had on Saturday and hit the trail! I started out by going to a local cemetery and picking up THE MICK and PASS THE BISCUITS, PAPPY. Both of these letterboxes are based on historic figures, which really makes my day.

After leaving the cemetery, I decided to head back toward Arbor Hills and pick up lunch. I found a place to grab lunch, then headed on over to the preserve. I was REALLY early, but I still had at least one more LB to find before the gathering. I found the tables that SoggyCereal had reserved, plopped my store-bought cupcakes down, and headed out. I was able to find ENDANGERED SPECIES OF TEXAS: HOUSTON TOAD....and what a treat it is. Queen Beeloved's carving is impeccable! I truly don't know how she does it!!

Green Pond

After stamping in there, I headed back up to the pavilion and found SoggyCereal busily setting things up. She had the clues for her limited-time boxes, and shared them with me. I decided after I took a little break to hit the trail and find these boxes. By this time, it was only around 1:00 and the gathering would be starting at 2:00.

There are four boxes in this series. At the first box, I came across a pair of red men's undergarments (could be the answer to Ryan's question...What's the strangest thing you've ever found on the trail). They were hanging on one of the bottom branches....very classy :->

Anyhow, I found and stamped into the first two, and while I was stamping into Box #3 (which was near my SHEEPISH box), GG spotted me and cruised on over to say hello. We chatted for a bit while I stamped in, and then he left me to go find the last box. I easily found the last box, which was planted near the green, spooky pond, then went back up to join the party at the pavilion.

I reported to SoggyCereal that I found all of the boxes and she let me know that by being the first to find them all, I had earned a prize! WOO HOO! I like prizes. I picked up a grab-bag and there was a block of the pink stuff in it....YES! That will definitely come in handy. I said hello to a few people and made some exchanges. Some people even got my RAMONA PT.

Lyon's Roar

SoggyCereal also had a couple of games to play. One of them was to make as many words as you could out of Scarecrow and the other was to guess how many candy corn were in the jar. I put down my guess of candy corn in between exchanging. I decided there might be 562 in there.

After a while, Soggy announced the winner of the Scarecrow contest, then gave a prize out for the person who'd driven the farthest to get there, then announced that there were 573 candy corn in the jar and that I had come the closest!! WOO HOO! A lucky guess! My prize for this was a pumpkin light.

My Prizes

Around 4:00, I called it quits so I could head back home. I'd had a great day letterboxing and doing the letterboxing stuff that we do at gatherings. I enjoyed the creepy-looking punch that Soggy provided for us, but it was time for me to go. I hope to see more folks at the next gathering I attend!
